World Championship 2025: Men’s ITT, September 21

[Cycling111]

That climb looks pretty tough.

They climbed it 15 times in the road championship.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They should let a couple of the favourites go first in these early places to get a good look at how fast the top guys really go. Also for a laugh, imagine Remco zooming past some Syrian refugee, getting a bit slowed down on a corner waving his arms around and demanding they get out of the way.

Tiz cutting out regularly.

Any more stable feeds snyone?

Sporza always works well for me. In Flemish of course, but not sure how much that matters during a TT.

 

[AlpRaid]

I wonder if anything can be extrapolated from Reusser winning -- kind of a powerhouse more traditional TT winner.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Some of these guys look like they went out too enthusiastically, it's their big moment but now they're struggling to finish the course, I'd probably do the same. Reminds me of your man in the swimming from Equatoguinea who almost had to hold onto the rope.

 

[Brullnux]

This is a superb ride from Nsengiyumva. Only 50s down on Vermeersch at the second timepoint!

 

[Salvarani]

Is Vermeersch ok or not bothered? Need some more times from other guys to tell.

 

[Cycling111]

Is it raining? This could be a big factor if it rains more for the last few riders.
Del Toro starts earlier.

 

[Red Rick]

Vermeersch took a full 5 seconds on Shemu in the T1-T2 section

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vermeersch hasn't gained much on Shemu the Seal since T1.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I think J. Liu's form on the TT bike is very relatable.

 

[Netserk]

The battle is on, Van Wilder is out on the route!

 

[Berniece]

Vermeersch took a full 5 seconds on Shemu in the T1-T2 section

Pacing plan of Belgians is probably to make sure they’ve got enough energy left for the last two climbs. They’ve mentioned that a couple of times the past few days that they need to be sure they’ve aren’t completely spent

 

[Tim Cahill]

Massive amount being gained on the descent from Vermeersch, the benefits of having a setup you didn't just pick up from the local Toys R Us on the morning of the race.

 

[Red Rick]

The difference those big gears make on a 70 kph descent.

Massive amount being gained on the descent from Vermeersch, the benefits of having a setup you didn't just pick up from the local Toys R Us on the morning of the race.

Vermeersch probably did the 2nd climb slower than Shemu cosidering the descent that was in there.

 

[AlpRaid]

no camera on Van Wilder?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Munton has 17 seconds on Nych at T1.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at the grinta of Lui, the full set of teeth, looks a bit like Enric Mas getting dropped by Roglic on a random 15% Vuelta climb

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Didn't expect to see so many trees, but this part of Kigali looks lovely and green. Think I even saw some purple hydrangea just now.

Liu just finished, thank god the suffering is over for both him and the spectators.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Seixas the worlds youngest person starting now

 

[Red Rick]

Seixas, the worlds youngest person

I had that title once, but was surpassed very soon

Crowning achievement of my life thus far.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Remco will puncture on those cobbles and have a meltdown

 

[Brullnux]

Vermeersch didn't look like he had the best gear to do that at all

 

[Netserk]

The desert mouse should make the hot seat.
