50% time limit  

 

That's just ridiculous, 30% should absolutely be enough for any healthy pro rider at this level. It's fine if it's hard.

 

Oh well.

We don’t seem to have a GC favorite at the moment, but we have a good handful of very talented riders at the moment. I haven’t felt this educated by US riders in a while. 
 

Tokyo was probably the first time I had optimism watching Olympic cycling from an American perspective.

Roglič takes it!
