World Championships 2023: Junior and U23 Time Trials (August 9, 10 and 11)

[Devil's Elbow]

Better late than never.

The route for all TTs is broadly the same: largely flat and untechnical for the most part (the hardest "hills" are in the ballpark of 500 metres at 4%), before getting steep, narrow, twisty and partially cobbled in the final kilometre up to Stirling Castle. The hill itself is 860 metres in length.

Men's U23 TT (August 9)
This one does contain one narrower, more technical section before returning to Stirling - the B8031, right before the westernmost point of the route. It still is one for the powerhouses, though.

Women's Junior TT (August 10)
The shortest, and therefore also the one where the final climb will have the biggest effect.

Segaert to win the U23TT, Wang to finish second and Bevort third.

Segaert obviously big favorite, but you never know with these junior/u23 TTs, riders who have shown close to nothing this year could just pop out of nowhere and put in an impressive performance. The Danes for example, Wang beat him 2 years ago but didn't have the breakthrough Segaert had so far, he has done some decent things this season tho. Then you have some pros, like Milesi (who Segaert thinks is one of his main rivals), Logan Currie, Pierna or Leonard. Obviously also a lot of u23 good TTers (Vervenne, Van Belle, Mikutis, ... but Segaert already destroyed most of them in the Giro TT and a longer TT should suit him even better I think.

 

[DNP-Old]

Vervenne without the helm sock, that's already a W to me.

 

[Samamba]

Vervenne disappointing at point 1.

Milesi first. Wang still to come of first part of favorites.

EDIT: Wang first.

Looks like Segaert was correct, Milesi is one of the favorites.

 

[Samamba]

Christen really good, bit surprising to me, don't look at him as an insane TTer.

He was less than a minute down to Ayuso in the Romandie ITT.

He was less than a minute down to Ayuso in the Romandie ITT.

That was not a normal TT at all.

 

[Samamba]

Milesi destroying the rest right now.

 

[RedheadDane]

Wang not having a great day.
Up to Bevort to bring the jersey back where it belongs.

 

[DNP-Old]

Logan Currie is going to overtake about 4 riders by the time he's on the line. Probably had the most favourable start time out of everyone.

Only 9th at T1.

 

[DNP-Old]

Aaaaaaaaand he drops a dud.

 

[Red Rick]

Christen collapsed on the final hil a bit

 

[Samamba]

Milesi will be on the podium... Atleast. Really strong time. Won't be a walk in the park for Segaert at all.

 

[RedheadDane]

Christen collapsed on the final hil a bit

He's only just about to finish.

 

[Samamba]

You can lose/win a lot of time on the last hill.

 

[RedheadDane]

McKenzie NBT.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at the ****ing cadence of Mckenzie up that last climb!

Decent time but the Italian will beat him by a fair bit I think

 

[Samamba]

Milesi catched 3 guys.

Honestly not sure Segaert can beat this. Looks like an insane time. We might be looking at the new WC already.

[RedheadDane]

Milesi just murdering everyone!

(figuratively speaking.)
