On the road at the moment, quite possibly. But as a fan of his, I won't be judging him in this discipline until after the next Olympics when he focusses on it a bit more.

I just love his facial expressions, so random
Also Vingeegard is 1 second in front of Roglic, which means Roglic is now a domestique.
Roglic will be going for boniseconds tomorrow.
20km/h cross headwinds tomorrow in the last 70km. Hopefully it's enough to cause some splits.
If Pidcock wasn’t British he wouldn’t have half the hype; not even if he was Belgium.
Lampaert is a surprise, the conditions benefited him a bit but it was still a great ride. Ganna disappointed a bit he didn't seem comfortable in the bends.
Pogačar with a huge time again, he is definitely ready but so is Vingegård that I never expected to beat Roglić today. As for Van Aert, I am starting to think that he needs some black magic to him the yellow jersey in the Tour.

It was thrown/dropped after the crash.I can't believe he slipped on an actual banana peel.
In the pro’s he’s only ever done four stage races, two of which he DNF’d. Had no results at the other two either.
Forgot to put in his teeth in the morning...Still, can't compete with MVDP
Van der Poel literally looks like he's trying to get his face more aeroStill, can't compete with MVDP
Küng had some of the worst conditions, but even so, he wasn't beating guys with similar conditions.
Lampaert had slightly better conditions than Van Aert and Ganna, as in that the rain had stopped but the roads were still roughly as wet. There wasn't enough time to have the roads dry up, but it could have improved his vision.
Lampaert is generally an underrated TT'er because he doesn't often go all out, because most TT's are in stage races where he has other duties. But whenever he gets the chance to go for it, he usually shows he's not far behind the select few worldbeaters.

Wait, a time trial AND a robbery? Aitor González is back?!
Poor Gaudu doesn't even get a mention (Ben O'Connor is even further back).
All in all it was a cr*p ITT & a very disappointing way to start a 3 week GT. Why? Because the whole fun is extrapolating miniscule (or larger) differences on the opening day prologue & finding a hierarchy of some sorts within the classification. Today, we get nothing. Just a fog with the top GC riders & rouleurs all in the same ballpark but no idea who took more risks or who had worse conditions.
Meh. The start times didn't help either. It was over way too soon.

Big L for JV. Van Aert getting beaten by a nobody. Laporte crashing out when he had a chance to win. GC guys put in place by Pogacar.
Huge L for Roglic personally for getting humiliated by Vingegaard.

Great stage with super narrow results in the top.
The stage was packed with fans and it gave the whole stage a feeling of real panic in shitty weather.
I don't think you could ask for a better opener

I am in disbelief. Poor Ganna beaten by so many people
Lampert?!
Perhaps he had dry roads
