Pogacar is in good form, and it's only 34 km. Virtually 0 chance he ships 1'30

Still rocking the Vuelta helmet
Pogacar
Ganna
Is Pogacar rocking his white young jersey winner helmet?

Too bad Vingeegard, the best ITT rider, is not here.

I don't see Pogacar ever losing that much time to Remco when both are in form.

Here you can watch the TT recon with Remco and Yves. (First video)

Maybe not lose that much time, but maybe Remco getting close enough to see the car in that long stretch along the coastline. That maybe can happen.

That sounds completely clueless. Embarassing to be a professional and say stuff like this

Perhaps it's a political comment.

Pogacar lost 1m6s last year in the ECC TT (24k) and 1m9s in the WCC TT (44k) to Evenepoel. He was not in top form yet but he did win Lombardia 2 weeks later. On the other hand i don't think Evenepoel was ever in top form either in 2021 or at least not like this year. I would say it's unlikely to overtake him but not to see him on a straight part. But it might depend on whether Evenepoel is actually recovered from the Vuelta to begin with.
He's certainly one to watch. Difficult to rate though. I think he will end up not far from the podium time.
Mark Renshaw who has ridden the course and helped design the route has said that Ewan would have to be at his very best on this course to have any hope. He seemed to think the course suited Matthews much more and with the form Ewan has shown this season he wouldn't be at his very best. If it was a few times up Mt Pleasant fair enough but I think Ewan would get worn down in the second half of the race on this course.

Yeah, probably. Trying to justify that he should have been there, so in that sense I guess its understandable, but... c'mon.

There's a few fairly similar WC routes that actually turned out to be a 50 man sprint.
It's probably copium on Ewans end but not everything disagree with is an embarrasment to say
pog has been prepping the WCs since he recovered from TDF. it wouldn't surprise me if he podiumed the ITT.
of course, i would personally love your scenario, but...

If it's a bunch sprint, I think 20-30 riders in the first group is about the right size. There were 30 riders left in the end of Bergen (including Moscon). If the attackers had been caught in Ponferrada, I think about 40 riders would have been in contact with the bunch after the last climb. They were 25 in Geelong.
It's difficult to say who would make the cut in that scenario, as being well prepared, in a good position and with teammates count for a lot. If Van Aert has only followed wheels until then, I think he would be the favourite in such a sprint.

Mads Pedersen is the top favorite here right, no?
Now van Aert is probably, but he will be second I think.

It's only Spring in NZ so riders haven't returned yet. Racing in Europe hasn't finished. Our only pro team was racing a few days ago when Aaron Gate won in Luxembourg.
It's a long way from Luxembourg to Wollongong.
Good chance it’s his way of saying look I should be racing I could win for the team
