Martin proves again why experts consider him as the best time trialist ever. A healthy Martin is unbeatable in regular time trials. Thank god we have finally a fair result, after the disgusting result in womens elite time trial and mens under 23 time trial.

Here we go with the no-names again (not meaning I'm satisfied with the conditions in Doha)

So you want to say that you knew the guy who won the gold medal before the race? In my opinion he is a complete no name and got extremely lucky with the conditions, he doesnt even have a team for next year ...

There cant be any doubt that Kämna wouldve won the gold medal for the last two years if the conditions wouldve been fair. Its just heartbreaking that Kämna didnt win a gold medal the last two years, although he is about 1000 times more talented than the other guys who participated.

Marco Mathis is the German Champion in the Individual Pursuit in Track Cyling, beating Roger Kluge in the final. It isn't that surprising that he's a good time trialist, guys like Bradley Wiggins came from the track pursuit as well, after all. The extremely flat course in Doha was also an adventage for Mathis.
