Agreed, this is not really Ganna's or Tarling's type of TT. Not saying they would totally flop but I do think that Evenepoel and Pogacar at their best are the men to beat on such a course.

I believe it's mainly the location that those guys aren't even showing up to begin with. If it were a similarly hilly ITT in Europe most would show up in my view.
I think on this course Roglic is the biggest one missing. I think he definitely could have podiumed and who knows maybe even upset Pogi and/or Remco.
Also Almeida and McNulty if we're looking at top 5 candidates I guess.

A combination of location, parcours and the (for some) better suited ECC TT right after the Worlds would be my guess.

I don't think it will matter much.
They're only doing this climb once in the Road Race although it does come right after the Mont Kigali.

Yeah, Roglic in good form is top3 material definitely. Almeida maybe too tired after the Vuelta. McNulty? Who knows, he looked so good in Canada but he will be totally missing in action (like a few other top guys), undoubtedly the location made some stay home.

I'm also missing Ayuso. Could've been a real podium contender if he is in great shape

With decent preparation maybe but I think Tour + Vuelta double was too much for him.

This way it seems like he expects Pogi will win, but you probably mean that Evenepoel expects to win himself.

His exact (google translated) words were:
When Pogacar sets his mind to something, it's a sign he feels ready. I'm looking forward to the battle. Hopefully, it won't be a close one, but he's a great additional challenger.
I'm indeed pretty sure Evenepoel expects himself to win.

He hasnt mentioned his weight, which means he's likely fat again considering if he was skinny he wouldn't shut up about it.

Too bad all the sprinters don't know physics
They are not as brilliant as our @Red Rick . They just push pedals hard.

Tis a common flaw really. A great many people suffer from it. Someone should really look into that

I wonder whether the moon's position will also be beneficial during the time trial. If it's right above Africa during the race, it will further negate the gravitational pull of the Earth, and thus Pog would not stand a chance against Fatco.
