Won’t hold up but great ride for MTN.

Castroviejo’s position makes my entire body hurt.

Yeah, I mean the Dutch really came out of nowhere this year. Shocking!

yea, that deserves recording. amazing.

edit: and they added this:

If the timing’s right Dennis is going to put a beat down of epic proportions on the field

Did he catch/pass Castroviejo? That's pretty impressive haha

Yes, already at the bottom of the climb. Dude is on his way to total destruction of everyone else today.

Dumoulin looks very skinny

Just an incredible ride by Dennis

Yeah, amazing ride. He put it all together. Glad to see the ITT is still the realm of specialists.

I’ll tweak my TdF prediction too: if TD targets it, he wins. After 2nd place in 4 major events he’ll be turning the pedals with fury next year.

i tend to agree. On form, rested Dumoulin is a force to be reckoned with

In terms of laundry, suppose the Dutch National team wins the World TTT title, do all the members of the Dutch team get to wear the rainbow jersey for the TTT in whatever races they do, regardless of which company team they're on? Or do they not even do that? Did Sunweb have stripes in their TTT kit this year? I forget now

I know it's a stupid question, but I always like looking for the stripes

Olympic Channel has great coverage. Its Paul Sherwen & Christian Vande Velde, they show the entire TT and road race starts at 3am Sunday Morning. I upgraded my TV package for $10 more for my kid, and ended up getting the Olympic Channel, totally worth it. I can watch online through Xfinity.

agreed and I think he had a much better year than Tejay in the TT and should have been selected for the US team for the TT. He was 2nd in the US Time Trial behind Rosskopf

Well deserved for Dennis. His prep for the TT was on point, winning both TT's in the Vuelta. He was more prepared.

Yup...he's had a long season this year with more focus on GC which is why I thought Dennis would have a chance today. Didn't expect him to smash it though.

If Dumoulin targets the TdF, he's going to be very hard to beat. The climbs aren't as steep and Sky will be there setting a hard tempo which is exactly what he wants vs more of a free that you tend to see in the Giro/Vuelta. Thomas was on amazing form at the TdF and maybe would have beat a fresh TD this year anyway, but I have to believe that GT was at his very peak where TD still has some room to improve.

"The male athletes will ride first and the women will replace them on the road as soon as the second male rider has crossed the finish line. Final timings will be taken when the second female rider crosses the finish line, with the fastest team declared the winner."

Relay.

I love the idea if it's just going to be say...3 men then 3 women on each team. I think it's a better viewing experience when there are less riders working together. Much easier to tell who is doing most of the work and your weakest link becomes much more exposed.

"doesn't look very aero to me"

please tell me he was kidding

HAHA, also when you watch him he is rock solid. I also think he has a bit of the Cancellara skill set, the ability to stay in the bars and take turns hard. I was watching the replay last night and you could see the speed idfferences in turns, Dennis was very fast in the corners. He also looks comfortable, no constant movement. He might give up 1-2% from an aero standpoint but gains more from comfort, power, and handling ability.

ST navel gazing at its finest. Because, you know, if he was going to run after, shorter cranks could benefit.

That’s why I’ve mostly limited myself to the confines of bike threads (sorry Jason, almost replied to your comments about TL tires, then thought the better of it considering all the expert opinions).

Now then, some amazing news: Flanders gets 2021 worlds. Oh. Boy.

Agreed, so much is gained by stability and being able to really relax and crank it.

Wow. I wanna go. That will be nuts.

aw man, that's awesome

dibs on Sagan!
