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

[Vesica]

Live timing on screen is all over the place.

 

[topt]

Uran with best time in 2nd wave?

yes

 

[SafeBet]

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

Izagirre and Lutsenko are too.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Anyone know why the Jumbo guys (well Foss and Dumoulin) ride with the green/pink cervelos?

 

[IndianCyclist]

Wind conditions might make this a tossup

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Mcnulty started

 

[spalco]

Uran is still leading at T5, but might be fading.

 

[Volderke]

Remco would benefit from a 3rd lap.

 

[Red Rick]

Guess Evenepoel will still beat Uran.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Evenepoel 35 seconds better than Houle

 

[SafeBet]

Remco finished strong.

 

[Volderke]

Special paintjob for the olympics. See also Trek.

 

[spalco]

Great job, Remco, very well done. 57:21,270

 

[Gigs_98]

Decent time by Evenepoel but I doubt this was his goal going into the olympics. It won't be enough to win a medal.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Remco would benefit from a 3rd lap.

and the wind increasing by 40mph into a constant headwind around the course.

 

[KZD]

Great second lap from Evenepoel but I think that will not be enough for medals.

 

[topt]

Uran has a 14 sec lead 4km till end

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Decent time by Evenepoel but I doubt this was his goal going into the olympics. It won't be enough to win a medal.

Hmm I think it might be close to a medal. Some names disappointed in wave 2 and I guess some will in wave 3 too

 

[Netserk]

Tour clearly the best prep.

 

[SafeBet]

I have a feeling Italy will get a medal, but not with Pippo.

Not gonna happen I guess.

 

[saganftw]

am i the only one thinking the live gps tracking does more harm than good? especially because commentators engage with it and are forced to draw conclusions that seemingly change every 2 minutes?

I think already Uran will beat him.

 

[Red Rick]

Even against TTers it looks like Evenepoel is better on flats and downhills than on the climbs.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bettiol gained time on Remco on the final part, he's not gonna get a medal.

 

[topt]

it will be damn close
