Price-Pejtersen was only 6 minutes slower than Anguilla.

I don't think he would have won if these were the real U23 championships, and not just some glorified free agent hunt...

What would have made it 'the real U23' championships? I don't see a whole lot of time trial riders who are under 23 years old and significantly better than Bjerg (except for Evenepoel obviously  ).

Evenepoel.

Evenepoel.

That would be a waste of Evenepoel though

Wait, there is no Dygert (aka Mrs. Evenepoel) in women's race?

Who do you think will win the women's time trial? I put dollars against nuts on van Vleuten against Klein and van der Breggen.

I also count on a good result of my countryman - Ania Plichta.

May I recommend you a good pair of glasses, good Sir?

 

 

Spoiler

I also didn't notice her on the start list (should have Ctrl + F'd) and only noticed it after asking on a Dutch forum

These conditions are perfect for weird results, so it wouldn't be too terribly surprising if something weird happens. However, if she doesn't mess up in one way or another, I really with the very best will in the world can't see Van Vleuten lose. That'd be a major, major surprise.
