Women’s ITT - World Championships 2024 (September 22)

[Samu Cuenca]

This broadcast looks like the Afghani championships. I know, it‘s cool that they ride so well, but there are faster riders out there, you know

They do live in Switzerland, and the latest Afghan championships took place there as well. But yeah, it would be nice to see Bujak once in a while.

Will Ellen Van Dijk get another medal?
Will Faas steal another medal?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Blasi blasts into the lead!

I wasn't sure whether I should include her as one of the U23 favourites after her disappointing result in the Euros last week, but this course probably suits her better. However LS Sander is ahead of her at the second intermediate, and Ahtosalo and Schreiber have started well, too.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Excuse me?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Excuse me?

I guess that‘s why she was so fast.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Strong start by Ottestad.

Emma Johansson's getting on my nerves now. How dare she say Danish is harder to understand than Norwegian. Surely if she had married a Dane instead, she would have claimed the opposite.

Getting your revenge there?

Getting your revenge there?

That's my nickname for her. I just texted her yesterday, saying I knew she would do well today...

I don‘t believe that, everybody knows Danes and Swedes aren‘t allowed to text each other.

We're using börner phones.

Chapman with the new fastest time at T1.

I assume it's Faulkner's own decision to not ride today and focus solely on the road race.

The USA has four riders. For heaven's sake they have brought99 year old Amber Neven. Strange, Zigart is here but yet could not make the Olympics.

They only have four riders, because Neben is Pan-American champion. She couldn't be replaced by anyone else.

I didn't expect Schreiber to beat Ahtosalo. And Chapman has lost time to Ottestad between T1 and T2.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Let's hope Grace's golden bike holds up better this time around.

But not between T2 and the Finish.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Brown's gold colored bike looks so much better than Evenepoel's.

Just posted the exact same thing haha.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Niedermaier has found a fast pace. Looks like she will defend the U23 gold with Liechtl in second and Schreiber third.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Brown 6 seconds faster than Vollering at T1.

Dygert is far behind, but might still get a medal.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brown 6s ahead, at T1, kinda hoping Vollering gets it though just because I love a spite-WC win when someone is out the door of their trade team.

 

[yaco]

At the time, I though Kopecky's performance at the Euro's was one out of the box which is reflected in her performance today.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vollering got a good bit of draft from overtaking Labous, but Brown should also pass Schweinberger soon. However Vollering is now leading by 9 seconds.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Labous is following Vollering pretty well here, so perhaps it's possible for Brown to take time back on the flat.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Maybe Vollering went out too fast and faded

 

[Tim Cahill]

TV Director who watches cycling next time please

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Golden Grace!
But also a shame we won't get to see the rainbow jersey next year.
