I tried using the official logo but it didn’t work. I also think the Swiss flag is distinguishable enough, and it’s a nice flag
Any quote of a joke recently made by Carlton Kirby automatically drops to the bottom of the acceptability scale.
the final descent is quite "interesting", as it's straight forward and has a section of 600m at 14%. In a German podcast, one of the coaches said that he expects speeds of around 110-120 kph - which he deems as potentially unsecure on a time trial bike. Especially as it comes right after the climbing sections, so riders will be tired, and is followed by a corner at the bottom of it.Profile
The 46 km time trial isn't technical, and doesn't have a lot of corners, besides the descent. It has three intermediate time checks, spaced about 10-14 km apart, providing ample data points to gauge how each rider is performing throughout the race.
Just took a look, the first 3 parallel roads to either side of the one they're taking are all at least a little less steep. It makes absolutely no sense to design the route this way, and although I think it's likelier than not that nobody crashes, the result of a crash into the barriers in the corner at those speeds doesn't bear thinking about...
I find 46 kilometers to be quite short for a Championships TT. I think those should be 50 k.
Don't understand personally, going 7 laps on fairly difficult circuit at race pace set by guys w leg reveals in TDF, Vuelta, Canada, so do you attack Hirschi, Roglic , Pogocar, Remco? Italy best to do like everyone else, wait for final lap, no dramatic anything with the amount of climbing. If MvP says it's a hard race design, why not listen to his expert opinion. Don't see Italy or anyone else having some sleeping surprise talent that is set for a coming out party in Zurich. Best to save what gas you have in your tank and hope for a phenomenal last 27k. Many federations sending human bodies, it won't be as bad as Olympic race where @50% are schit out the back in first few kilometers, but it's going to be close for road race,
The worlds TT has never been that long though, it’s only been over 50km 7 times in 31 editions. In that respect this is a very standard length.
In 2022, it was 34 km and in 2020 32 km, so it has almost happened previously. I don‘t know what he‘s talking about though?
That has never happened
You speak of the time when Italy started not winning medals?

I always thought the green cross in Europe meant they carried medical marijuana.
Why does this TT have 2:30 between the first 15 starters and then 1:30? I mean I know it‘s there so there are less overtakes, but it‘s just weird.
