World Championship 2024 - Mixed Team Relay: Zürich-Zürich (53.7km)

[Tim Cahill]

Seems like anyone who is half decent can win this based on how much they've practiced ttt, some absolutely whack looking trains out there today.

Not a good start for the home team...

How can you stand that still after four minutes?

 

[RedheadDane]

Canada... what're you doing?

the Germans look very solid so far. May have a shot at gold.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fking Germans looking like they've ridden this a million times, probably sent a full committee there months in advance, built their own training camp like they did in the world cup that time.

Brandon Mcnulty somehow looks like he's just riding on a tt bike for the first time and trying to work out the gears.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Côté and Gee finished off better than the Danes despite Walton not being worth much.

 

[RedheadDane]

Cort apparently scared he'll crash during the interview...

 

[Samamba]

I expected better from Italy.

I expected better from Italy.

@search was right, not a particularly good route for pure TTers, but yeah I expected better as well.

Brown should just cash in and do another year tbh, get the rainbow-premium, could even just ride around a bit Froomey style.

According to the Danish commentators, she just wanna go home!

Would it be against the rules for Longo Borghini to just stick Realini in her pocket on the descends/flats?

She should do whatever the frog she wants. Well maybe apart from destroying her own team here.

Gigante should have been selected before Roseman-Gannon for this parcours. Then again federations are blinded by having their national champion in the team.

 

[Samamba]

Women can't stay together on this parcours

Niedermayer must be going insanely hard again

 

[RedheadDane]

Germany just smashing everyone!

 

[SafeBet]

This time by Germany

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Brown, Niedermaier and Realini would have been able to stay together uphill.

 

[yaco]

I expect the German women have torn this race apart. Look like I jumped too soon.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Another good time trial route. It's so much more interesting to watch when the course has sectors with different characteristics.

 

[Samamba]

France is out of it

 

[search]

Should normally be advantage Australia on the 2nd part, I guess? Lippert and Realini aren't really able to contribute much anymore.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Miguel Heidemann sounds like Michel Hessmann if they Spanished up the name a bit and took his diuretics off him. Anyway it looks like he's about to win a WC medal, good effort!

 

[SafeBet]

We made fun of the Italian Cycling Federation for selecting Realini but it's actually paying off. Let's see if they can keep i tight until the end. A medal should be safe at this point.

Yes, last year he also won one. He definetly deserves more than riding for a CT.

and even that could be at jeopardy, with his team folding at the end of the season for the 3rd time in a row.
