Beaten Evenepoel in the pancake flat WCTT that year?Imagine what Roglic woulda done had he not been Colbrelli'd out of the Tour
It was the best Asgreen ever that year.

Obviously not. He crushed the Vuelta.Beaten Evenepoel in the pancake flat WCTT that year?
It was the best Asgreen ever that year.
When are they not extremely bullish before the race.Interview with Arne Wallays (team manager BE) and Serge Pauwels (national coach) about the ITT. They are very bullish and think Evenepoel will win the ITT.

Waarom Remco Evenepoel Tadej Pogacar niet moet vrezen op lastig WK tijdrit-parcours
Het is een zeer atypische tijdrit die de renners komende zondag krijgen voorgeschoteld op het WK in Kigali. Over een afstand van iets meer dan veertig kilometer liggen vier klimmetjes - waaronder eentje met kasseien - te wachten, wat het een lastig te voorspellen chronoproef maakt.

If Pogacar does not win both the ITT & RR it will be a surprise. His biggest danger is too many banana beers or other temptations of the local cuisine.
I don't think he's actually riding it![]()
So silver or higher?
I kind of think the opposite to be honest, especially after it came out that Pogacar was ill for the whole week before Canada. Now I think Remco takes the TT, and someone like del Toro, Pidcock or Ayuso takes the RR.If Pogacar does not win both the ITT & RR it will be a surprise.

Don't think the illness affected him too much. Reduced training, sure, but he looked good in Montreal. He seemed to look better in Montreal this year than last year.I kind of think the opposite to be honest, especially after it came out that Pogacar was ill for the whole week before Canada. Now I think Remco takes the TT, and someone like del Toro, Pidcock or Ayuso takes the RR.
I would kind of like Pogacar to do the double though, it would be very cool.
I have been praying every day for Ayuso to win the RR.I kind of think the opposite to be honest, especially after it came out that Pogacar was ill for the whole week before Canada. Now I think Remco takes the TT, and someone like del Toro, Pidcock or Ayuso takes the RR.

Doubt he really felt much of the illnessI kind of think the opposite to be honest, especially after it came out that Pogacar was ill for the whole week before Canada. Now I think Remco takes the TT, and someone like del Toro, Pidcock or Ayuso takes the RR.

Hmm, quality - can you elaborate? Assume you are talking about the entire field rather than the strongest?The startlist quality at this ITT is lower than the startlist quality at the Tour of Luxembourg.![]()
There is no separate ranking of time trialists as far as I know. But I would like to see a few more top 200 riders at a world championship.Hmm, quality - can you elaborate? Assume you are talking about the entire field rather than the strongest?
I would say the Top 10 riders doing the worlds will be far stronger than the best 10 in Luxembourg.
Who are the strongest time trialists on the start list for Tour of Luxembourg? Stronger than Pog, Remco and Vine? I don't think so.
On this type of course many of them wouldn't even ride top 10 anyway.With Pogacar and Evenepoel racing it provides the sparkle, but only three of last year's top ten competing.
No Ganna, Affini, Tarling, Asgreen, Foss, Campenaerts or McNulty,
It's the weakest TT startlist in five years (Australia 2022 included). It beats the corona year though (2020):The startlist quality at this ITT is lower than the startlist quality at the Tour of Luxembourg.
Yes, I know there are fewer riders in Rwanda, but after the 33rd strongest rider they don't count at all (because of their weak UCI and PCS ranking), so it wouldn't matter if more riders participated.
Even in the top 10 at the ITT, there are riders outside the world's strongest 100 riders.
The 20th strongest rider in the line-up is Charles Kagimu who is currently 305th in the ranking.
