Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 1 (Copenhagen – Copenhagen, 13.2k/ITT)

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

I guess they put him as early as possible as there the weather might turn bad later on. The earlier, the less chance on rain. I'm actually more surprised that Pogacar isn't going first of his team.

Puzzling indeed. Jumbo and INEOS' team hierarchy seems obvious OTOH, going by the start times

1 Roglic
2 Vingegaard
3 Van Aert


1 Martinez
2 Thomas
3 Ganna
4 Yates

Looking at the start list. Rogla likely won't catch Martínez. Still due to the weather i feel that he could gain a second or two due to having a better tactics. But it won't matter anyway as Pogi will finish 1 minute ahead of everybody else.

We'll see.

Tony Martin managed 51.8 kmh at the 2011 Copenhagen Worlds TT on a course which took them through some similar parts of the inner city. It wasn't too technical (as evidenced by the average speed) but still had some tricky sections. I remember Cancellara crashing, for instance. The length was 46.4 km (2 laps of 23.2).

Evenepoel's avg speed was 53 kmh at the Tour of Denmark TT 2021: A 10.8 km course with three 180 degree turns and several 90 degree turns. It was another part of Copenhagen (Frederiksberg) but also flat.

You know what would be a great start of this Tour? A team TT.

That would have likely changed the roster of each team.

I don't know if i buy the idea this ITT isn't technical.

Official start times:

Dang, they’re starting so late in the day I’ll have to leave for work before that 3rd page of riders even start!

ed. Fortunately most of the top riders (due to the rain chances?) have earlier start positions.

It’s definitely a better kit from the side and aerial views. So as long as they’re not on the podium we shouldn’t have to see the front very often

He needs to look where he's going, did he not see what happened to Bernal? lol

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

That would have looked even better if the writing in the wheels was bright pink.

I kind of hope what we see on the horizon is a weed seeking missile on its way to destroy the responsible designers.

This version of the wheels looks great though.

 

[Bavarianrider]

No that is what a jersey/bike design of a pro team should look like. Absolutely beautiful. Hats off, magnificent job.

I know it's probably hard in a time trial but wonder do Pog and Rog hold back a little as it's very early to take yellow (and likely defending it for a while considering the next few stages).

I imagine they won't intentionally hold back but timed their peak for week two (or three)?

I don't think so--these seconds between them (and possible challengers) matter too much to not go all out. The jersey will change over to a sprinter or breakaway rider in the next few stages.
