I except this thread going private after this. Just kidding. he must have some problems with ITT material or preparation, after Dauphine and this today, something is totally off.

He’s coming from Canada with a jet lag. Another week to acclimatize and he’ll be fine for the road race. Still the man to beat.

Not even bronze eheheh. Terrible performance!
I don't expect him to be that much better on Sunday 28th.
you really don't get it, pogacar on TTs like this (with a lot of climbing) really struggles when he's not in top top shape. Remember the TT of dauphine: well he lost 50 sec in 17 kms, so pretty similar level to today, but on the road bike he dominated dauphine. He's not a natural on climbs with a TT bike and so he struggles if not in great shape, but on a road bike it's an entirely different story

Do we know at what time he got his vaccinations? Or maybe he and the Slovenian boys didn't take this into account?

Huh? You act like this performance was normal.
And no mate, I don't suffer frustrations about cycling anymore, don't worry.
No, Im pretty indifferent about it. I thought he had no chance against Remco.

Vine has targeted this and is very good.

Great performance from Van Wilder.

I dont think Pog was bad nor good. Very close to a medal, woud have a been a very good result to get it. People just were super-wrong in their predictions more than anything else.

Yeah, of course. He is really worse than Vine and Wilder.
In fact, Vine had never been better than Pogacar in any time trial.

I already said he wouldn't win today. But anyone who says they expected me to do worse than Van Wilder is lying. I didn't see any comments saying anything like that.

Yeah but let him live in the wonderland.
