That would be a waste of Evenepoel though
-
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 ).
-
Bjerg wins in Atlantis, his third consecutive U23 title
-
Forget the 'pro seasons' stat btw, no idea how they got that. Evenepoel was like 3 years old 5 seasons ago.
-
You know, except for the non-U23 wins
-
Crap, I had put all my money on Price-Pejtersen when he went under.
-
Wow, what a save by Knotten and to add to that, he managed to put his chain back on the bike while going up and down around the corners with 35-40+
-
And McNulty
-
In case the earlier tweet doesn't work, here is Price-Pejtersen's dive
-
McNulty stays in the time trial position before diving into the ocean and manages to stay upright
-
Yep, or at the very least have a decent breaststroke.

Dear Lord. Michael Phelps would have a better chance today. https://twitter.com/robbertderijk/status/1176446708944949253

U23 ITT is starting in some majestically wet weather. The first 200 meters or so could cause some big trouble.
-
It is best for everyone that the entire competition was not held in Qatar
-
I do believe they have superior runners, yes. Much like I believe Caribbean people tend to be superior sprinters, somewhat broadly speaking. It's not weird to think people with on average different builds have different abilities. However, I don't think their succes is 100% thanks to that.

Oddly that pasty thing only worked on my desktop and not my laptop. Which is a little unfortunate, because cramming my desktop into my suitcase doesn't sound like a particularly practical plan

Kenya should have been kicked out a while ago, I really don't know what IAAF needs more to actually do something other than 'moving them into a different category'. Which has zero effect, clearly. Oh well.
-
More and more evidence of Kenyan doping, now a doctor saying he treated two of the top athletes in this year's team with EPO recently. But no, only the Russians are the bad guys, not the corrupt hell (or heaven, if you're a wannabe doper) that's called Kenya. How nice for so many Europeans and Americans and whatnot to go train in the middle of nowhere, and how convenient they can pretty easily avoid doping controls there
-
Holy smokes, Tiberi's time trial today is one of the more impressive rides I've seen in a long time Brenner and Simmons being the huge favourites, but Tiberi pretty much destroyed them....after losing 35-40 seconds at the start They all started losing time from the very first kilometer and all of them got destroyed in the second lap What. A. Ride.
-
I'd be much more in favour of a different system anyway: only give the prize when there's good reason to do so, instead of 'having' to give it every year. Then again, actual peace is more important than a peace prize I suppose.
-
Not a fan of that neither
-
As long as people are still actually fighting wars for all kinds of other reasons, I wouldn't have Thunberg anywhere near the nominations.
-
One can give Greta Thunberg all kinds of things, but a Nobel Peace Prize is just not one of them. Maybe in a long time from now, but she is fighting for the climate. Not for peace.
-
Of course, but one you hear way too often.
-
"Climate has always changed, so it's only normal!"
