Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share Cadel Evans (BMC) withdrew from Tirreno-Adriatico before this afternoon's time trial. The Australian has struggled in Italy this week, although he did not give any specific reason for his low-key showing and his abandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share Evans' teammate Philippe Gilbert, meanwhile, has just finished his time trial, clocking a discreet time of 11:11 for 64th place. It will be interesting to see how the Belgian performs at Milan-San Remo at the weekend. Prior to the removal of the Pompeiana, the race was one of Gilbert's key spring targets, but one wonders if in its absence his thoughts are already firmly on the Ardennes classics.

Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) is in the opening kilometre of his effort and quickly settles into his aerodynamic position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share Kwiatkowski, lest we forget, beat Malori into second place over 13.6km in the stage 3 time trial at the Volta ao Algarve last month, and entered Tirreno-Adriatico in a rich vein of form after landing an astonishing win at Strade Bianche.

Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share "I won't trust it until he's crossed the finish line," Malori tells RAI. "Winning today would be a dream. My objective for the year is to get closer to the big guns of world time trialling with an aim to winning a medal at the Worlds. It seems like I'm on the right path."

Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share Kwiatkowski can't get close to Malori's time. The Pole crosses the line with the 7th best time to date, but his 10:35 is 22 seconds down on Malori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share It seems that only Cancellara and Wiggins managed to cover the second part of the course quicker than Malori, and they only pegged back a second each on the man from Parma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted March 18, 2014 Share Michal Kwiatkowski has declared himself satisfied with his showing this afternoon. "It was a really hard course for me, it didn’t really suit me but I gave it my all as it’s only my second TT of the year as I wanted to see how I felt," Kwiatkowski told RAI on crossing the line. "I wasn’t bad." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
