Michael Phelps could have won this.

The women ride the same course later today. Now that might get problematic.

 

[claude cat]

This is just stupid.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Knotten puts his chain back on, with his fingers... while riding.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Great chain correction by Knotten.

 

[Dingo]

Garrison will win this.
Should the womens TT get postponed or something with those rivers running all the way across ?

 

[RedheadDane]

Uhm… Mikkel... just... stay on the bike, please...

 

[DNP-Old]

Bjerg is flying.

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy ***.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Very strong start by Bjerg.

 

[glassmoon]

Bjerg's smashing them all.

 

[Breezy1985]

Anyone doing a RR/TT double is really gonna think twice about how safe to race today and tomorrow

 

[DNP-Old]

Knotten on a road bike. Had another mechanical.

Just worth pointing out that, whilst it rains quite a lot in this part of the world, today is definitely out of the ordinary!

It was sunshine and over 20C last weekend. This is really unlucky!

Someone got the video of the junior TTT in similar conditions? Happened this year, but don't know when exactly. Can't find it.

Forecast is supposed to be dry tomorrow, then showers on and off for the rest of the week from Thursday onwards, but of course that can change.

Am I a terrible person, that I can't actually help but laughing a little at Price-Pejtersen's facial expression when he got out of the puddle?

 

[Noddy97]

I hate wet time trials... rain is good for road races but I'm pretty sure it will be sunny as hell

It shows a lack of empathy.

He looked in complete shock, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up swallowing a mouthful of it on his way down.

 

[RedheadDane]

It shows a lack of empathy.

I'm just glad he wasn't hurt worse.

I wish we could see this kind of weather during Flanders or Roubaix; rather not today...

 

[RedheadDane]

Cool of Price-Pejtersen to (I think) finish after all. Now, back to the hotel, young man, get a nice warm shower, and prepare for Friday!

And Bjerg is just insane!

Ya tomorrow does look better alright. Sunday is forcast for heavy rain but it seems to be changing all the time

On a selfish note at least it might make it easier for me to get a good spot for the RRs on Saturday and Sunday
