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

I wonder if Jayco will pull the trigger on Mckenzie for 2024 or wait until 2025 - He turns 19 in September.

For a brief second, I thought the "hot seats" - or would that be "lukewarm seats"? - for 2nd and 3rd were excersice balls...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Milesi, perfect candidate for the traditional win the U23 TT world title then go on to have an unremarkable pro career cycle.

Was looking at the list of winners and it really does seem like a kiss of death, Campbell Flakemore, Marco Mathis?

Marco Mathis was such a fraud victory. Man got to draft behind a bus in windy Qatar, twice!

Otoh, Wærenskjold is doing quite well already.

Looking promising as a pro doesn't guarantee you from escaping the curse, though. Just ask Phinney and Malori.

And Jack Bobridge, who used to snort cocaine before races and is now in prison.

So what you're saying is that I should start hoping Segaert will be 2nd here instead of winning?

 

[DNP-Old]

Did somebody turn on the wind switch or something?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Footage of Charlton in about an hours time?

 

[DNP-Old]

Segaert -10.

 

[Samamba]

It was predicted that there would be more wind later in the afternoon.

 

[Didinho]

Segaert 10sec faster! We have a race.

 

[RedheadDane]

Segaert about to catch Olivo.

 

[Tim Cahill]

God that must be so demotivating being caught that quickly, at least he's flying

 

[RedheadDane]

Conspiracy theory time:
Maybe it was one of the other riders who stole Segaert's pasport. To try and give himself a chance.

Meanwhile, Bevort isn't doing well either...

 

[Samamba]

Did something happen to Olivo? As his time isn't on the sheets yet, might have had a mechanical (and bike change).

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lotto classic should give their Giro Wildcard to the dev team if they aren't going to bother again next year

They're not allowed to do that. Also, not sure what Segaert got to do with that; he's already on the ProTeam.

 

[Red Rick]

Gap not going up it appears

 

[Didinho]

Only 3sec now. Gonna be close.

 

[Samamba]

As expected Milesi's 2nd part was really good, his 3rd part too, so I wouldn't be surprised if Segaert is behind at T3.

 

[RedheadDane]

Olivo cramping...

 

[Didinho]

3sec behind Milesi now. Hopefully something left for the finish.

They are riding with earpieces.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

A bit of a thriller . . .
