A decathlon bike. It was over before it started 😁Seixas wasn't added to the startlist until the very last moment. I thought it was a good decision to skip the ITT on this course, but damn, hell of a world champion.
We're still waiting for Sumpik confirmation, but it is looking likely the list ends with those two, and that is exactly right I'd say.Are there any riders - other than Seixas and Withen - who are going straight to the pros next year? Quite a few who are joining devo-team, some with pro contracts further down the line.
Also, do we talk about the women's race here, or somewhere else?

Annoyed that I won't be able to watch the next instalment of the CX/Road rivalry between Gery and Ferguson. The latter withdrawing from the race at the weekend due to illness isn't good timing. Does anyone have any news?
Was there an explanation after the TT why he performed under expectations?* * * * * Albert Withen Philipsen
* * * * Paul Seixas, Pavel Sumpik
* * * Lorenzo Finn, Hector Alvarez, Felix Orn-Kristoff
* * Paul Fietzke, Adria Pericas, Ashlin Barry, Jasper Schoofs
* Senna Remijn, Patryk Goszczurny, Kasper Borremans, Erazem Valjavec, Reef Roberts
Let's see how much we can butcher it this time around. First of all, I didn't factor in the harsh, harsh weather conditions that awaits the peloton since there are very little references as to who benefits from them. Secondly, I tried to avoid doubling on the same nationalities as much as possible, unless there was just no way out (Spain). Hence why no Sparfel, Moller, Clemmensen, Innhaug Dahl, Bessega, Zomermaand, Boussemaere e.g.
That being said, I don't care what happened in the ITT. Though both worthy of 5 stars, I'm still giving the nod to AWP. Just has more ways to win, basically. Seixas would have to get rid of him, not the other way around. For that, I'm sticking with it. The same reason I am giving Sumpik the nod ahead of Finn. This doesn't mean I think he will get bronze, I just think he is more likely to win, as Finn would have to arrive solo.
Prediction: 1. Albert Withen Philipsen, 2. Paul Seixas, 3. Hector Alvarez
My Danish ain't what it used to be, but from what I could gather he had a bad day and he is angry with himself.Was there an explanation after the TT why he performed under expectations?

Landscape images suggest it's dry-ish for now, but all hell should break loose in an hour.
