Tipping Brownless will DNF during the runGreat insights from the interview with the Brownlee cycling DS Jacob Tipper:

“Our [UK] time trial scene is very advanced compared to anywhere else in the world. You can go to a Tuesday night club time trial and you’ve got old blokes running the fastest tubeless setups, the fastest wheels, 62 chain rings, oversized ceramic wheels. You get people there more optimised than half the World Tour guys, to be completely honest!
"I’m just looking forward to seeing Blummenfelt’s face when we lap him a couple of times on the bike. Our job is just to get Alistair as far ahead of Blummenfelt as possible by the run."
Maths note: Each Lausitzring lap is 5.85km so that's 6 minutes 30 @ 54kph (33.5mph). Will 13 minutes be a good enough start for Brownlee after glass slippering round the ring 27 and a half times?
