Have to hurt for Küng who clearly paced himself well though.
Your podium

Honestly very interesting how much different this is from the road race.Podium didn't ride the Tour (longer than a week).
So it's impossible to win a medal in TT and RR if you rode the (whole) TourPodium didn't ride the Tour (longer than a week).
Possible, I don't know what exactly it was you wrote, I have to find the post firstI said he wouldn't be close to winning, but I've generally defended his selection.
They look a bit disappointed.
Yes. Perhaps you need to be fresher in the head for the time trial. You have to push yourself all the time. At the road race the other riders push you.Honestly very interesting how much different this is from the road race.
Seriously, the margin is incredible, but Roglic winning this really shouldn't have been that surprising. Like, it took one TT up PdBF where he clearly wasn't himself to let the collective brain of this forum forget that Roglic is an elite TT'er. It looks surprising that the guy who lost the Tour in a TT won this race, but it shouldn't be surprising that the man who once won an 8 km giro prologue by 20 seconds did. Such a well deserved win after all he has been through this year. A win that feels surprisingly similar to Cancellara's victory in 2016.
Finally a good side effect of posting way too much.Possible, I don't know what exactly it was you wrote, I have to find the post first![]()
well, based on the fact he is almost crying I would say he is happyTom happy for 2nd or disappointed for not getting 1st?
Funny how usually we would talk about how brutal it is for Ganna to lose a medal by such a small margin, but now he is only 5th and it feels like he isn't even that unlucky.Looking at the fact that Dennis will also ride for JV next year we can only hope that there won't be a TTT...
Brutal for Küng. Ganna did what he could with a track focussed prep on a hilly course, but the others were just a bit better. He could have paced himself a lot better.
Yeah I don't doubt the Tour finishers and the guys who went balls deep in the road race really suffered from that effort in the ITT.Seriously, the margin is incredible, but Roglic winning this really shouldn't have been that surprising.

So playing cat and mouse with the other 2 slowed him down a littleRoglic

That's because Vingegaard didn't start. (And Van Aert went deep in the RR)Podium didn't ride the Tour (longer than a week).
