Men's U23 TT will have cyclists from Sudan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Mongolia ... That should be interesting.

 

Especially those from Sudan and Kuwait don't give a damn about the heat...medals incoming

Looks like we are in some elite part of Doha today, population zero.

 

Meanwhile, it looked like Kosovan rider used some kids bike.

Be fair, he's only about 19 minutes behind Mathis with only a little over 50 top riders to go

Next group is impressive.

 

Starting order:

[heywoodu 16,465]

The Sudanese guy with his 50 year old bike and clothes is my hero already 

 

Let's go, beat the Kosovar who is 19 minutes behind

Raimondas Rumsas' son, also called Raimondas Rumsas, is starting here, cool  

 

One of the absolute cult figures of the biggest days of EPO and injecting yourself with every kind of doping you can find, with the car full of doping that was for his mother in law apparently

He's my favourite too! He almost went in the wrong way in one turn.

The Hungarian rider passed the second Kosovar rider after 5 minutes
