Dumoulin only one second faster than good-for-nothing Campenaerts.

Re: Re:

Campenaerts is a true one day time triallist. Very strong in these events but suffers in stage races.

Could be fun with a time trial cup to test the riders in various disciplines against the clock. 10 different races.

I would like something like that. Maybe also for TTTs to keep them out of the stage races.

Maybe then have the TTTs be for national teams, to get them - the teams - a chance for going up against each other more often than just once.

Dumo Cam Pls

Belgians are going crazy because of Campenaerts medal

 

[shalgo]

I'm happy for Dennis after his crash last year.

 

[ppanther92]

That was close.

 

[kiszol]

Kudos to Campenaerts but the fact that Dumoulin barely beat him in this parcours shows that Tom was nowhere near his best.
Looks like doing the Giro - Tour double (and impressively) takes its toll after all.
Dennis was very impressive. Congrats, he deserves this.

 

[Alexandre B.]

A season of second places.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Half a second.

 

[glassmoon]

lol.

 

[sir fly]

Well, it could've been tighter...

 

[bambino]

0,53 seconds

Re: Re:

Campenaerts will beat Dumoulin.

Naah. Dumoulin will be around 10 seconds in front on the 2nd check

Yep and Dumoulin is a better climber. He will lose time after that.

I tried to tell you

 

[Samamba]

Lol, not that Campenaerts is gonna care but jeeez

 

[shalgo]

Well, we now know the second-place finisher in the road race on Sunday: Dumoulin to complete his set of results this season.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

The bitterest pill ...

 

[Yingge]

Well done Rohan, finally everything went right in a big TT.

He looks very disappointed. But he's had a massive season anyway, while Dennis failed at the Giro.

 

[Climbing]

Dumo very very far from happy.
Impressive Dennis.

 

[shalgo]

49.585 km/h on a course like this has to be one of the all-time great TT performances.

 

[greenedge]

Amazing season by Dumoulin, if he'd won today he'd deserve rider of the year in my books (albeit the road race will still happen), for such a consistent season across the whole year. As it is he's still very close.

Great ride by Campenearts as well, next year he could be the favourite if riders like Dennis and Dumoulin do not put as much attention into it.

Very happy for Dennis and Australia, hopefully his ride makes up for how bad our chances will be for the men's RR, though Spratt and Kennedy have a chance to medal.

 

[kiszol]

It must be tough for Dumoulin to live with all these second places but all considered he had a very good year that he can be proud of for sure.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great ITT. I miss these long ITT's in GT's. They occour much too rarely.

I wouldn't say failed, it was his first GC tilt at a GC and he cracked in the last few days, just like Yates and Pinot ( he pushed himself so hard). He also was consistent all year round in all his ITT's and wore leader's jerseys in two GT's, so I'd argue he had a great season too.

 

[kiszol]

The most curious fact is that Dumoulin lost the most time on the hill where he supposed to be the best.
