French Caen-Caen
The first individual Time Trial. Basically all flat, it is rather long compared to many others nowadays.
Rankings:
1- Van der Poel🇳🇱 & Pogatchar🇸🇮
3- Vingegaard🇩🇰 at 8″
4- Jorgenson🇺🇸 at 19″
5- Vauquelin🇫🇷 at 26″
6- Mas🇪🇸 at 48″
7- Onley🇬🇧 & Almeida at 55″
9- Evenepoel🇧🇪 at 58″
10- Skjelmose🇩🇰 at 1′02″
I love the Arkea race radio encouraging Vauqelin:
YOU'RE FASTER THAN ROGLIC! YOU'RE FASTER THAN VINGEGAARD! YOU'RE FASTER THAN JORGENSON! GO BOY!
Surely a safe Evenepoel victory, but I wonder if Vingegaard can keep up with or even beat Pogacar.
Did Vingegaard tell something to explain his mediocre performance?
Just said he had a bad day, way lower numbers than in Dauphiné. Actually a healthy sign that he's not on whatever magic sauce they are feeding Pogacar.
Surely a safe Evenepoel victory
I hope for him that he can turn better than in yesterday's final parts 😜
He made his fans sweat a little at the start!
He seems to always start like a maniac, and it always looks like he's lucky not to hit every fence and wall in the first half-mile. It doesn't always translate into a good time however (like Vingegaard seemed to start very quickly today, yet even the first timings were not good).
