The most interesting move however is team Denmark off the A18. Yup - they were on the new Canyon as was the U.S. team! The Danes BIG win was in Team Pursuit, where they took down the Italians in the Final. It was extraordinary to watch in that Final - Italy was behind but they put Ganna on the front, with two others clinging to his wheel, and he led for almost the whole of the last kilometer trying desperately to close the gap, and he came darn close!
This is the Paula Findlay thread. Now we just need her to race for Canada in the 4000m individual pursuit and team pursuit and TT and do like Ganna!!!
I know she got bashed on this thread, but her perfomance was indeed impressive. 25th off of that lead up is commendable. Other than Grace Brown who was 6 seconds behind, no one was withing 1 min of Dygert, and 2:26 behind got you 10th. Paula was 3:41 behind. It is still a world away, but subtract PTO from there which would leave one more trashed than a womens TdF two weeks ago, and she is a contender to make top 10. For context and I realize she is not a TT specialist but Vollering, the Queen of the spring classics and TdF Femmes winner was 1:27 behind. Not bad for Paula being 2:13 behind that woman.
