The 2020 Olympic Time Trials (Men/Women) Race Thread

[JosefK]

Van Vleuten rode with hair on fire; not a bad medal haul for this Olympics.

Uhh, weren't the men supposed to start?

Just started

Is it just me or are there a LOT less minor nations in the Men's TT than previous games? Apart from the first two riders everyone so far has been an established Euro based pro

Looks like only 39 entries, which seems light. IIRC usually there are 50-60

That must be it, nations not justifying sending athletes purely for representation or experience.

AVV can retire with a smile on her face after her dominant victory in the women's ITT - She is undoubtedly the strongest women cyclist at the Olympics - Great ride by Brown to finish fourth - She will be disappointed in her shocking performance in the RR.

Houle looks best of the early starters, big gaps behind him

Against who, Gebhregzabier?

 

[memyselfandI]

TGH's position over bike is just perfect. Thumbs up for him to dig out something same as Giro winning final tt.

Who was it? Did he shout "camel driver" ("Kameltreiber") to Arndt? I am not a fan of taking every word to serious, but "Kameltreiber" is clearly racial in germany. You can't use that word "by mistake".

Patrick Moster

German coach shouting racial slurs (in German)

Yeah, he allegedly said schiebe kamletreiber.

 

[Red Rick]

Who's the co commentator on the GCN stream?

 

[42x16ss]

Houle lost a lot of time over the second half but still in the hot seat by less than a second over de Bod

Apparently it was Patrick Moster

If it's same as Eurosport, it sounds like Michael Hutchinson..?

 

[Volderke]

Evenepoel will porte give a cold when he passes him. But is porte a reference (I don’t think so).

 

[Red Rick]

Evenepoel slower than Houle?!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel slower than Houle?!

6s slower
Bettiol 5s faster (than Houle)

 

[glassmoon]

Remco started conservatively. Porte just don't give a *** I guess

 

[Rackham]

Evenepoel slower than Houle?!

The TT starts with a descent, so... not exactly his forte.

I expect things will improve for him in a few km.

 

[Volderke]

Evenepoel slower than Houle?!

Yes, and Bettiol best time.
evenepoel will obviously wait until the 3rd lap to crush them all.

 

[Wvv]

Remco will diesel his way up.
