Re:
Yeah, there were no big names there. Day and O'Neil were very solid continental riders who might have gone a little further if they went to Europe but racing the NRC in the USA they were big fish in a small pond.
TheRedSon said:I haven't found a picture of Froome from that ITT either. There is one from the U23 World Championship that year where he's running into the official. No clue if it's the same bike though.
Just ridiculous to me that anything about that event screams "the guy in 17th is amazing!" He's the highest placed out of the... Less industrialized nations, he was just 22 and he got to sit in the hot seat a long time, but he wasn't close to winning in the end, and it's not guys like Rogers had to show up to finally unseat him.
