Excited to watch the finale today—can’t recall a GT when we’ve had 4 elite GC guys tackling a TT stage when all are still close in time and all of them are excellent TT-ers.
Aero bucket, they call it.Wout has a bucket stuck on his head
He's definitely not at his best. Not yet 100 percent after the March crash.This is not good from WVA
Even worse.Yes, but how is his time trial going?
It looks like a firefighter helmet.Wout has a bucket stuck on his head
How is wva not beeing at his best any news to people when he literally has stated he aim to peak for OL?![]()
Sure, that could have been part of it. Also because it’s early in race. But still unique that the top 4GC candidates are among the top 5 or 6 TT-ers in the entire race.agreed.
but how much of that is due to the fact that ITTs have largely disappeared in terms of length and therefore any real significance.

Bien sur!Wout was briefly riding through a nice and quiet area away from the crowds, good crowds though everywhere else. (Mandatory scenery comment.)
Z2 training it is. 😜How is wva not beeing at his best any news to people when he literally has stated he aim to peak for OL?![]()
4 seconds?Just looking at the live timing on PCS. What happened to Vauquelin between the last checkpoint and finish? Looks like he lost a lot of time.
How can you post on this forum and not know that Wout was in a terrible crash in March? His shape is obviously still off and he's not really focusing on this discipline these days anyways, so its pretty predictable he was gonna have a rough day out thereHow is wva not beeing at his best any news to people when he literally has stated he aim to peak for OL?![]()
Now 1 minute. They changed his place to 8th now as well. Don’t know if mistake ir what happened here.4 seconds?
PCS have him 1.16 behind, but ok then it’s just wrong on their site4 seconds?
EDIT: PCS is crap, check https://www.tissottiming.com/2024/tdf/stage-7/live
Yeah, peak shape WVA doesn't get outclassed by 2024 Campenaerts like this, with all the respect to the later.Maybe the national coach should reconsider his selection for the OG and leave Stuyven home, move Van Aert to RR only and take somebody who is not miles behind the pace in the TT.
