Holy Jesus what an epic bodycheck by those police officers

Just sad that 2 of the last 3 major time trials werent real time trials (Rio and Bergen). Tony Martin is still good enough to medal at real time trials, but his reign is over. Dumoulin will dominate for a couple of years, although he looks really weird on his bike. I hope that Kämna will be good enough by 2020 to take the olympic gold from him.

Ha ha, nice ! What a week for our sports, and still road race ahead of us on Sunday.

 

And what a Grand finale, times only on climb:

1. Roglič 10:06

2. Dumoulin +0:05

3. Dennis +0:16

4. Tratnik +0:29 (great job also from him, finishing 10th)

9. Froome +0:35

 

This is first ever Slovenian medal in ITT at WCH and second ever in Elite competition (first one was bronze in 2001 Road Race - Andrej Hauptman, our head coach here).

By the way, when did the Netherlands became so good in time trialing?

Italy chasing Italy in the women's junior race, brilliant tactics

Since the Netherlands is simply one of the better cycling countries?  

 

Dumoulin now is kind of a new level, but there have been decent Dutch time trial riders for years (just like decent Dutch GC riders, classic riders and B-sprinters).

The French girls really don't give a damn.
