Re:

Biggest surprise: Tony Martin being so poor. I mean, what's his excuse?

Probably destroyed his knees doing 58x10 all his career

 

[Gigs_98]

I don't think the result means says a lot about the real TT strength of the riders because I think that Martin and Dumoulin weren't in top shape, and Cancellara and Wiggins didnt even race.
However I don't care because it was a really exciting race

 

[saganist]

never realised that kirirenka looks exactely like neil patrick harris

 

[Red Rick]

The excitement is overwhelmoing to Vasili Kiryienka

He rode a 58 chainring???!!!!
Actually noticed he was doing a lot higher cadence today than usual

 

[SeriousSam]

Brilliant result for SKY pro cycling.

 

[Red Rick]

Worst podium ceremony I've ever seen.

Actually a 58 is not that uncommon anymore for specialists.
Dumoulin rode an 58x11 in Burgos ITT

This podium is from another dimension.

That's rather Bert Grabsch with his ridiculously heavy gears and slow cadence.

 

[nobilis]

Frsutrated for Castroviejo. Missing the podium by 2 seconds. It would've been nice to have 2 riders from Movistar on the podium.

 

[Jagartrott]

What just happened?
And the TV director was clueless, seriously. Hoping for better come Sunday.

Re:

I missed it. Is it indoors like the TTT one? It was disgraceful.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The whole tv directing was horrible, it was a really exciting tt but they almost killed it the way they directed it

Yeah. Something did happen though. It had to do with Kiryienka's facial expression. I think I was hallucinating, but he looked to be smiling

Re:

You're right, we've seen a massive number of top level Belarussian cyclists in recent years.
