I dunno why Bobridge is so overrated on the road.

I don't think he has shown anything in time trials except the Australian nationals.

He's a brilliant track rider but has not shown anything on the road.

He's won the Australian National time trial championship and at 19 he won the U23 Worlds. I don't think that counts as not showing anything when you're talking about a 21 year old.

And in any case, the physical characteristics needed to be a top track rider and those needed to win short flat road time trials are basically the same. He'll learn to take a corner, he'll get stronger as he ages, and he'll win a whole lot of prologues.
