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

And btw. Bambi is a pretty badass character anyway the way I remember the movie.

Evenepoel gaining at the flat/downhill aero sections and loosing uphill. It seems that he can't push the watts uphill.

 

[ppanther92]

Not watching but has the weather changed or so? Pre-race I would have put Evenepoel, Uran and Bettiol definitely above Houle and De Bod.

 

[Faserr]

No, weather isn't a factor at the moment.

 

[Netserk]

Either Haule and De Bod were surprisingly good, or the whole second wave is a bit meh.

Except of Evenepoel, the 2nd wave was bweh

 

[spalco]

Remco looks clear to take #1 preliminarily, already overtook Porte and TGH.

 

[Mayomaniac]

De Bod was always a decent TTer, Houle is a much bigger surprise to me.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Bettiol closing in again.

Apparently the wind has picked up.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Belgian commentators mentioned earlier that they expect Bettiol had a technical issue, maybe changed bike.

uran now coming closer to the good times

4th check

Evenepoel
Bettiol +10
Houle +11

 

[ppanther92]

Wow, Bettiol rides a volatile TT

 

[spalco]

Remco fastest at T5.

 

[GuntherL1]

Is there a live ticker for this TT?

Weird with the lack of images, surely they would replay it if he changed bike?

Do they have a camera on every rider?

 

[BlueRoads]

Houle, de Bod and Vlasov are Astana... I don't think that's a pure coincidence.

 

[Netserk]

Do they have a camera on every rider?

Ah, it didn't strike me that we've only seen him from stationary cameras so far.

 

[Laplaz]

RiGod!

 

[Volderke]

Uran with best time in 2nd wave?

 

[spalco]

TGH is almost zig-zagging, hard effort even if it's not a very good one.

 

[Netserk]

Foss could take the hot seat if he's on a good day.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Every time I see TGH in a race, or find out he was somehow in a race he didn't feature in, his Giro victory seems more like the biggest GT fluke win in recent memory

 

[spalco]

Uran with best time in 2nd wave?

Will be close, either him or Remco.
