World Championships 2023: Women's TT (August 10)

[King Boonen]

That's a long time to sit in the hot seat.

*** genius to have Dygert start this early so that now it can start to rain and totally not potentially decide the race.

 

[King Boonen]

Very low chance of rain today in Stirling, but it very much feels like rain is coming in Glasgow. We've had some very fine mist that feels like the humidity is just getting so high it's condensing out.

A bit difficult to gauge Dygert's performance, but if we take Bujak as the benchmark, she lost 2:31 to Reusser in the European champs TT last year, a 30 k TT. Which is the same amount of time she lost to Dygert today.

I think Dygert probably did a good TT, but not a winning one.

 

[Sciatic]

I know they like to get the “up close and personal” shots of top finishers just after the line, but perhaps cut away when, for instance with Dygart, she looks like she’s about to vomit?

Hey, that's the bit that makes them seem human!

 

[King Boonen]

Really interested to see how Vollering goes.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Henderson is only 25 seconds behind at T1, so it seems Dygert's time won't be out of reach.

 

[MrTea1976]

Watching this TT, I think Thomas is going to finish top-8 in the men's race.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

13 seconds between Kerbaol and Niedermaier at T1, but it's still early days.

Absolutely brilliant interview with CUL on Danish TV.

Henderson is a good flat track rider though isn't she? Could be bigger by the end.

Sure, but I still expect Reusser to be faster than her at that point on the course.

Vollering hasn't had a fast start. She can still medal, but she won't win.

 

[Red Rick]

Vollering dreadful

 

[Peyroteo94]

Dygert was very fast in the first half.

 

[King Boonen]

Henderson through T2 56 seconds down. Edit: Actually 57 with rounding.

 

[Didinho]

Julie De Wilde for U23 gold!

 

[Sciatic]

Reusser’s position with her head down is quite something. Does she have a mirror hidden in the bar extensions so she can see where she’s going?

That windscreen must be a prism!

 

[AngelOTM]

Julie De Wilde for U23 gold!

Looks like a good pacing plan, lost only 8sec more to Dygert between t1 and t2.

 

[King Boonen]

Henderson down 1:15 at T3 but still second fastest.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Looks like De Wilde's time has been adjusted, so she's still behind Kerbaol.

 

[King Boonen]

Vollering losing more time.

 

[Didinho]

Did the wind change maybe? Or just winning with the flu.

 

[King Boonen]

Reusser slower than Henderson at T1!
