Who will win the World 2013 ITT Championships?

Don't forget Wiggins has a flight, has to change his hotel and has to cross a time zone.

How much today's TTT will cost Martin ? Wiggins day was quite relaxed and the race is in 2 days (rest days)

I'd say it could do nothing but benefit him. The level these guys are at, even a FTP effort they will start to recover almost as soon as they jump off the bike. I bet he'll be doing a couple of hours morning and afternoon today even, then some seriously hard efforts the day before the TT.

In my opinion Martin's and Canc's leadup will be better than Wiggin's, at this level being a protected GC rider sitting in the Peloton on flat days they can actually detrain. Although I imagine he's done a bit of overload then used the ToB as "maintenance", with a few max efforts (the TT) to keep the form. Although I imagine this method would be considered "old school" by the Sky swimming coach, so they probably do something completely different. (Maybe oldschool is better since everyone apart from Froome/Porte/Wiggo seems to be completely overtrained).

Don't forget Wiggins has a flight, has to change his hotel and has to cross a time zone.

I think that is going to be far more tiring than the entire ToB. I recover from a 7 hour training session quicker than a days travel, that totally mentally and physically drains me. Probably different if you're getting chauffeured around though.

Today I hope Lasse Norman can take it!

What? You wrote Championships. Figured that meant all the competitions, not just the Elite Mens'.

 

[greenedge]

Howson or Flakemore Both are good riders/ I hope OGE can snap up Flakemore sometime soon.

Even Sam Spokes/ Adam Phelan could have challenged for a medal.

When do we get a start list and start times for this race?

Thanks

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Very close at the moment. Hopefully Norman will take the title.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Paillot continued to outperform all the way.
Currently 1st.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Hansen might collapse in the last part.

 

[Netserk]

Very close at the moment. Hopefully Norman will take the title.

Doesn't look that way atm.

 

[Cyivel]

Looks like only issue will be if Hansen can stay ahead of Paillot

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Howson still looks perfect on the bike.

Great ride by Ryan Mullen to finish 7th. Still only 19.

 

[Ferminal]

OGE may be able to stop the OPQS TTT hat-trick next year if they can add a form Howson and Meyer.

Actually OPQS are losing half their team anyway.

Can we just do a National Teams TT.

I would like to see if Australia could take it. And I wonder which nation/s would challenge Australia.

Unlikely to happen I would say, who would be called the team time trial champions during the year? It would have to be individual riders across different trade teams. Having only certain members of a trade team being the team time trial champions doesn't make much sense.

 

[brilleaben]

The six winners from a trade team could also transfer to all different teams, and the title would be spread around. Difficult to avoid.

Chapeau Craddock.

Fell heavily mid way through the course. Still finisehd 5th. Would likely have challenged for medal if not the fall.

National TTT must have such a failure that the UCI ditched it for 17 years before it returned in the current Trade TTT form.

But easier to avoid with trade teams. Almost impossible with national teams.

Thanks, Dowsett and especially Larsson really far down, odd, wonder what the exact rules are for the start order...
