If they didn't want the GT be decided in the time trial, they would have designed a route like in previous years.
Don't start seeing another anti-Remco conspiracy.
Yeah, a win is still a win.
Even if it doesn't make sense risk-wise, he'll still ride with that World Champs jersey (I guess) and hopefully still wants to show who's the best at this.
I mean, it would kinda taint his TT palmares if suddenly there would be a 46th spot in between all those top results right?
Almeida wouldn't have lost time with Castrillo and Cian today, maybe only with Romeo.
What you're saying would make sense if today's time trial counted.

Indeed, and what Romeo showed in Mallorca he might have done well here. Top 5 or podium even in GC
My big dream is for every TT from now on to be windy so they ban TT bikes forever.
McNulty is pushing for the stage.
Come on Remco. The glove is thrown.

He went to windtunnel testing in San Francisco, so probably changed his position on the bike too
Cian also had multiple testing at Bora and Visma. Landa did too at Soudal, but they're still mediocre.
I mean, Pellizzari was at a similar level to them. The change is impressive.
He was decent last year too, and that was basically the first year he'd trained on a time trial bike. He obviously has a good engine so it isn't absurd that he'd get to a decent level on a good team.

Disagree, in the first TT of the Giro last year, which was quite short like this, he showed he can ride close to the likes of Tiberi, Arensman, etc.

The second TT was also good, he was held back and was 30th or something? Vuelta one was not so good, but no Bardiani rider will ever show TT ability until they leave the team
I wonder if Noosgard has made a huge leap forward at LIDL or if it's simply because they haven't competed. His previous time trials weren't good, and now he's the thirth fastest time.

Always had huge potential in TTs. Former Danish champ and U23 WC podium. This mostly flat one suits him perfectly. And perhaps Movistar wasn't the best team in which to realize his TT potential.
