Eugene Oppelt Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 [emoji102] Meintjes has attacked from the peloton Also referred to today by Matt Stevens's commentary as 'Louis Mandjies' Awesome to see him animate the racing after an extended break from the sharp end of racing Looks like a cool finaléGo, Michael Woods! His first time in leader's jersey, unidentifiable in blue.
daveno7 Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Fantastic racingit was indeed...very enjoyable to watch...
Frosty Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Gotta love his Superman Flying gesture as he crossed the line.Reminiscent of Wiggo sealing his Tour de France victory with a stunning time trial. He is one guy that I love to see winning, Michael Woods. Like Roglic, he joined the pro ranks much later than the average talent who grew up racing bicycles. So, participating at this level means a lot, never mind winning. Pic credit: Getty Sport ImageHe was on the Tour team squad, prior to the news that he will be going to ISN. Do you think he was booted because of this, or form?
Gen Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 Another day of beautiful racing.. My son was sitting here saying mom this racing is so much better than the tour.. yes my son yes it is.
SwissVan Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Enjoying the TA racing quite a lot. Yesterday’s finish..... if you watched the riders on the fringes especially on the RH side of the screen it was really hectic and dangerous, thankfully none of the riders hit a tree, pole, electrical box, etc...... There was some shoulder rubbing going on amongst the front group in the last few km’s that would have the TDF race commissaires in a panic and reaching for their naughty rider flag.... Froome made a welcome albeit a brief appearance at the front to pull GT on the last lap
dsw Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Vdpoel showing why he is the real rockstar of professional cycling.
Rowl Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Thomas to pull back 39s over 10kms? Don't remember Yates being as a good a TT'ist? Think it is maybe too much. Edit: Anyone have the start times?

Edit: Anyone have the start times?Nah, 39s over 10km is probably unlikely. But maybe Majka can score 16s, who knows?

Vetplant Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 These guys are flying! 55km/h average speed. Sure, only for 11mins, but these are some intense efforts.

Fillipo Ganna was 26 seconds faster than Rowan Dennis and they are both time trial specialists.
Jewbacca Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 It is unlikely but possible. Fillipo Ganna was 26 seconds faster than Rowan Dennis and they are both time trial specialists. I'm surprised Rowan Dennis didn't park on the side of the course and refuse to finish after a performance like that.......
Vetplant Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 It is unlikely but possible. Fillipo Ganna was 26 seconds faster than Rowan Dennis and they are both time trial specialists. Good point. Wonder what Dennis will give as a reason, he destroyed Ganna at the 2019 Worlds, so what now? Even Campenaerts beat Dennis.
Long Wheel Base Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Good point. Wonder what Dennis will give as a reason, he destroyed Ganna at the 2019 Worlds, so what now? Even Campenaerts beat Dennis.The bolide is S#!t compared to the BMC???
