This TTT was (unexpectedly) quite fun to watch. I found it great that basically all teams went full gas despite the fact that except the top 5 they knew before the start that they had no chance of winning and nothing to gain. But they went for it with all the risks involved anyway. Kudos to Lotto. Pure cycling.Can be a snoozer to watch but the absolutely most intense to ride. Need total faith not only on the wheel you ride but everyone in front of you. There always is that one guy.....and the reality is at some part of the rotation he'll be several wheels in front of you. You start looking at any shoulder or head twitch as to what stupid move that rider may make. Meanwhile; everyone behind you is thinking the same thing...about you.
The speed is addictive, too.
