Hey Logic, I know you know cause I'm pretty sure you can read, but I never said that, I just don't believe the whole 15s win in 1km thing. Jesus man.
It's remco vs the world!!!!
One of the most exciting TT finishes in a while.
Remco is just incredible, at 24 he is already one of the best TT riders of this century, Olympic champion and now double World Champion this time with some dramaat the start. If he wins the road race next Sunday he will manage to do something truly unique in cycling.
Ganna also deserves a lot of praise, I feel some people have been underestimating him a bit lately but on these one day TTs, he is the only one that comes close to Remco.
Affini's third place is a surprise, even though he won the Europeans, this was a much harder course which shouldn't have suit him as well but maybe a bit of motopacing made up for that.
Asgreen and Foss with some very solid rides and as for Vine, he was doing the TT of his life but once again his techincal limitations prevented him from doing better. Hope that he has no broken bones.
No reason for the Swiss to celebrate either, Küng disappointing in the biggest stage once again and Bissegger is just not made for these long hard TTs. Expected more from Roglič too.
Finally a World about Tarling, few people would have imagine that he wouldn't get any medal in major Championships this season but if in the Olympics he can blame lady luck here he was just too slow and showed that he is still far from Ganna and Remco's level in these long hard TTs.

Vine still coming in 5th after the crash is pretty commendable, no injury updates yet though. Hopefully it's not too serious.
Of course Cancellara is better but in 5/6 years, I am sure Remco will surpass him.
Mas, Madouas, Quinten Hermans and Laporte would also have much better palmares.
going by his Strava file, the crash alone cost Vine around 35s, so he would otherwise have been on par with Ganna at the 3rd time split.
Put everyone who is "part of the conversation" in a race, all in top shape, he won't make the top 5, except on a Doha style course.
Yeah, because that so easy to do... lol.
You are just wrong on this one and cant take anything away from what Martin did on a TT-bike. One of the best to ever do it, no matter what you think.
Maybe, but lot of these races would obviously play out completely different without Remco. That's not the case in a TT.
How about putting everyone who's "part of the conversation in this thread" up against each other in a race?
The winner will get to decide who the best rider is.
I guess you're right. I mean it would remove all the fun of sitting behind your screen laughing and yelling at other people's opinions, and there's obviously not much reason to be in an online forum without that.
Would be pretty close to Cancellara who has 2 Olympics + 4 WCs
