Copenhagen-Malmo TTT


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_copmalmottt.jpg

Welcome to the 10th edition of the Copenhagen-Malmo TTT event. Previous it was held five times in Eindhoven. The course remains the same, 58.6 kilometers across Denmark and Sweden.

Last year Grieg-Maersk won before Team Tinkoff and Team Puma. The winning team consisted of Lasse Norman Hansen, Ken Sebastian Vassdal, Mads Würtz, Vegard Stake Laengen, Mathias Krigbaum, Truls Engen Korsaeth, Benoit Cosnefroy and Yuan Tan Peng.

Let's look at all participating teams in detail:

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/aeg.png Aegon - PeroniPT****75,13

DenzNicoGER67
ErdenebatBilguunjargalMGL76
FrisonFrederikBEL77
HepburnMichaelAUS79
KoepThomasGER72
SchädlichLucasGER79
SergentJesseNZL79
Van HooydonckNathanBEL72


The first team in this preview, Aegon-Peroni, brings five excellent time trialers to the start in Copenhagen.
The final result will probably be determined how Koep, Van Hooydonck and Denz will keep up with the tempo.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/amc.png Amaysim CervéloPT***72,25
CantyBrendanAUS75
ChatarungaSameeraSRI67
GhyselinckJanBEL76
MonkCyrusAUS68
O'ConnorBenAUS71
ScotsonCallumAUS76
StorerMichaelAUS69
WohlerAlexAUS76


The Australian team Amaysim Cervélo has four pacers with Canty, Ghyselink, Scotson und Wohler.
The level of the rest of the team is a bit below par. It will be difficult to keep a steady pace with these different levels.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/eav.png AEA VesuvioPT*****77,13
GoosMarcNED76
JungelsBobLUX78
MuntonByronRSA74
O'SheaGlennAUS77
PelikanJanosHUN76
PokäläSamuelFIN77
TanfieldHarryGBR79
WirtgenTomLUX80


EA Vesuvio has the second highest average of all participating teams. It seems like a very homogeneous group, with Tom Wirtgen as leader.
The young South African Byron Munton is still developing. With this experience under his belt, the team will have an extra threat in the coming years.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/fpc.png Farfetch Pro CyclingPT*68,86
AffiniEdoardoITA73
De BodStefanRSA77
EloseguiInigoESP68
GenietsKevinLUX68
SalzmannJodokAUT64
SouliousZisisGRE65
TillerRasmusNOR67


Farfetch Pro Cycling is one of the four teams that didn't subscribe a full roster of eight riders.
Edoardo Affini and Stefan De Bod will have to carry this team through the time trial.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/fes.png Festina - OAKAPT***73,63
De la CruzDavidESP74
FarantakisStylianosGRE72
GiannoutsosMiltiadisGRE70
IoannidisNikolaosGRE75
KiriakidisIoannidisGRE74
MavrikakisMichailGRE71
SpanopoulosIoannisGRE72
VlatosPanagiotisGRE81


Festina-OAKA is the only team with just two nationalities on their roster. Panagiotis Vlatos is the engine of the Greek group.
He will be supported by fellow countrymen, including Ioannidis and Kiriakidis, and Spaniard David De la Cruz.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/gzl.png GazellePT***72,38
Geoghegan HartTaoGBR76
KangertTanelEST75
KonradPatrickAUT71
KruijswijkStevenNED71
MaleckiKamilPOL70
PetersNansFRA68
PowlessNeilsonUSA78
VervaekeLouisBEL70


Gazelle is a former winner, they won this competition in 2018. The current roster is comparable with Amaysim-Cervelo.
The team has three strong forces (Powless, Geoghegan Hart and Kangert). It will be interesting to see how the other 5 riders will keep up.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/gen.png GeneraliPT****76,38
BrownNathanUSA76
DebesayMeksebERI72
DennisRohanAUS78
DyballBenjaminAUS75
KungStefanSWI77
MaloriAdrianITA78
OliveiraNelsonPOR78
Van BaarleDylanNED77


Generali finished fifth in the last edition of the race. Surely they will compete again this year for the top spots.
All riders seem to have similar qualities, maybe apart from Debesay. From the eight riders, only two were also in Gazelle colors last year.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/grm.png Grieg-MaerskPT***74,25
AndersenSoren KraghDEN70
BelevicsArtursLAT76
BrkicBenjaminAUT70
KorsaethTruls EngenNOR77
LarsenNiklasDEN72
OmarssonIngvarISL73
WisniowskiLukaszPOL74
WürtzMadsDEN82


With Grieg-Maersk we present the winner of last year. This year they bring three developing riders, with Belevics, Brkic and Larsen.
It looks like they have to scale back the expectations. But you never know with leader Mads Würtz in their ranks.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/hsk.png Huski ChocolatePT**67,13
DimaEmilROM70
GoldsteinOmerISR77
HibatullahJamalINA63
HoehnAlexUSA70
HofstedeLennardNED62
LammertinkMauritsNED66
MajkaRafelPOL69
MeeusJordiBEL60


Israeli Omer Goldstein leads the troops of Huski Chocolate. However, the team lacks depth outside of Goldstein.
It will be difficult to make an impact. Emil Dima will definitely use this experience to progress into a fine time trialer.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/isa.png HISA - HexactaPT***72,88
ArissolAhmadSEY72
ChokriEl MehdiMOR73
DlaminiNicholasRSA75
FerreyraDiego AgustinCHL74
MartinezDaniel FelipeCOL71
MraouniSalah EddineMOR72
RestrepoJhonatanCOL72
SendekuGetachewETH74


ISA-Hexacta brings a nice collection of time trialers to Copenhagen. The biggest stumbling block will be the top-end speed.
There isn't a real leader on the team. South African Nicholas Dlamini can be seen as the best rider of the eight.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/iso.png Isostar - SpecializedPT*67,00
BernasPawelPOL66
GregaardJonasDEN66
KrulStefNED76
PeakBarnabasHUN66
RiabushenkoAliaksandrBLR62
RickaertJonasBEL64
SweenyHarryAUS69


Isostar-Specialized ended penultimate in the 2020 edition. This year will be much the same.
The team only brings seven riders, of which Dutchmen Stef Krul is by far the best time trialer.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/kng.png King PowerPT**70,25
BeniusisJustasLTU77
BoonratanathanakornThurakitTHA67
DarbinyanVarshamARM62
FerreiraRicardoPOR63
KasperkiewiczPrzemyslawPOL72
MostovZekeUSA73
ReisRafaelPOR76
VanthourenhoutMichaelBEL72


King Power brings two leaders in Justas Beniusis and Rafael Reis. The challenge will be to keep the 'lesser' riders on board.
Ferreira and Darbinyan won't have a good night sleep before this assignment.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/map.png MapeiPT**68,75
GoncalvesGasparPOR56
GroseljZigaSLO72
Lemus DavilaLuis EnriqueMEX72
NeumanDominikCZE65
PalyiCsabaHUN73
PredatschKevinGER77
RohendiTetenINA68
SchlechterPitLUX67


In the Mapei team, four riders were already under contract. These are the four riders with the highest stats (Predatsch, Palyi, Groselj and Lemus).
However the additions to the roster aren't that promising for this time trial. Especially Goncalves will have a hard time catching up.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/min.png MinionsPCT***74,63
BjergMikkelDEN73
CheyneJordanCAN76
HagaChadUSA75
HagenEdvald BoassonNOR70
LigthartPimNED77
NechitaAndreiROM75
RosasLaureanoARG75
UranRigobertoCOL76


Minions has a very experienced line-up with an average age of 31,37. Mikkel Bjerg is the only young gun at age 23.
They are the first (of two) Pro Continental Team in our preview. We expected them to compete for a top-5 classification.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/mol.png MOLPT*67,43
DinaMartonHUN69
DomagalskiKarol AndrzejPOL74
EnglishFelixIRL66
FilutasViktorHUN67
HusseinMujtabaKEN76
KalfStevenEST65
LovassyKrisztianHUN55


MOL doesn't bring a full roster to this team event, so the expectations are pretty clear.
Hopefully Hussein and Domagalski can limit the damage at the finish in Malmö.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/mos.png Moser - SygicPT***73,63
AtkinsJoshNZL78
CernyJosefCZE68
CinkOndrejCZE68
DanacikJakubCZE75
KukrleMichalCZE78
OsorioJuanCOL71
PradoIgnacio JesusMEX74
TurekDanielCZE77


Moser-Sygic finished sixth in the previous edition. This year we see them around the same position.
The powerful Czech trio of Turek, Kurkle and Danacik is supported by Josh Atkins and co.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/pfi.png Project: AfricaPCT***73,50
BobridgeJackAUS77
CoppelJeromeFRA79
HamzaYacineALG60
Janse van RensburgReinhardtRSA78
KiflayMetkelERI76
KirevaAlbertZIM75
PidcockThomasGBR69
TesfomSirakERI74


Project: Africa is the second Pro Continental Team on the startlist. Apart from youngsters Hamza and Pidcock, they have a very solid care.
As with most team time trials, the result will mostly depend on the performances of the weakest links.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/pum.png Team Puma - SAPPT****76,63
CavagnaRemiFRA76
ConciNicolaITA75
GannaFilippoITA78
KämnaLennardGER76
PolittNilsGER78
StüssiColinSWI75
SütterlinJashaGER80
WeinsteinDomenicGER75


Team Puma-SAP was third last year, 22 seconds behind Grieg-Maersk. They look well in place to reach the podium again.
Led by Jascha Sütterlin, this team has an amazing depth with no distinctly lesser time trialer.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/tti.png Team Tinkoff - La DatchaPT*****77,25
Dal ColAndreaITA79
GoldsteinRoyISR79
RybalkinAlekseyRUS71
SivakovPavelRUS74
VlasovAlexanderRUS77
VorobevAntonRUS79
YatsevichKirilRUS80
ZakarinAydarRUS79


Team Tinkoff-La Datcha is one the specialists in this event, being winner in 2016 and 2019 and runner-up in 2020. The Russian team hopes to regain the top spot this year.
They count on a collection of Russian time trialers like Yatsevich, Vorobev and Zakarin. This is supplemented by other specialists like Dal Col and Goldstein.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/xr0.png Xero RacingPT*60,33
KipkemboiSalimKEN56
MudgwayLukeNZL60
NikiemaBachirouBUR62
RoweLukeGBR65
SchleckJordanUGA53
StannardRobertAUS66


Xero Racing is the team that will almost certainly end at the bottom. They only subscribed six riders to the event.
On paper, they have four riders of the top-10 weakest time trialers. It will be a learning experience for youngsters like Kipkemboi, Stannard and Nikiema.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Micros/zpc.png Zwift Pro CyclingPT***73,13
EastmanRyanUSA77
EatonDanielUSA77
ErrazkinXubanESP70
IntxaustiBenatESP73
JonesCarterUSA71
NarvaezJhonatanECU68
StrollLewisCAN72
VeronaCarlosESP77


The last team in this preview is Zwift Pro Cycling. Based on the average stat, they should end in the middle of the pack.
The core of Eastman, Eaton and Verona will set the pace for the rest of the team.

We're here with the min-wage overaged time trialists no one else wanted. Zero expectations, zero pressure.

Somewhere in the region of 8-10th should be possible looking at the startlist. If that happens I'm happy with sacrificing 2 RD for de la Cruz. If anything less than that, I suppose it was a bad move.

Yup, no win this year. Lost too many TTers during transfers, but we still have some left. Hope Wurtz doesn't destroy the others. On a good day we should be able to be well inside the top 10, maybe even challenging for a top 5, so hope the boys are ready.

Decided to go for a quite strong team here, but didn't really see any better two race days for Wisniowski/Wurtz with the other races they had planned. Could have sent Wurtz to a flat one day race, but a good result here should be worth more.

Let's see how that pans out ... Big race for Tinkoff this, hope they get a good result.

I feel personally attacked by that Xero lineup. That lineup is not the result of only using the riders with remaining race days at the end of planning but it is a deliberate attempt at sending the worst possible team. And Bazhkou and a pure TTer like Van Niekerk dont even ride in Portugal to justify that decision :lol:

___

I decided to not attend this race this year for reasons i have explained in detail in my HQ.

4 teams not sending a full team and me not participating is very interesting (and shows that many managers dont care about this **** Pfft ). Could mean that some teams with no ambitions like Huski score better than they probably expected before the preview.

Seeing that teams such as MOL, Xero and Mapei (kinda) throw the race next to the obvious candidates (Isostar) makes my decision to skip the race slightly less correct. However, Tvetcov already scored 8 points in the Portugal prologue which probably would not have been replaced by others if i raced here so it likely won't cost me much - if he adds further points via leaders jersey or more likely a top 25-30 GC it could well be a positive decision in the end despite the miscalculation about the startlist from my part.

Thank you for volunteering to report here, congrats to the eventual winner, see you all at the next race!

I'm positive we're not gonna win this, but I'm intersted in whether the Debesay move is gonna pay off at all potentially. He certainly looks like he could do wonders if he gets a +3 or thereabouts.

From the eight riders, only two were also in Generali colors last year.

Not exactly right btw, I lost several of them during renewals and just resigned all of them bar I think Theuns, so the db shows the wrong team for 2020 Pfft

Clearly didn't work out Pfft The TT random generator overlords seem to think they've done enough for us in the Portugal prologue and hit my team with a <= -3 instead Pfft

Wow, what a ride by the guys. Really didn't think a 3rd place would be possible here, but I guess we had a good day. Wurtz surely the locomotive for us, and good to see him trying to keep his wages low by not be amongst pur first five Wink

Congrats on the win, SN! Great team you have managed to build around Wirtgen, who's had a good start to the season.

Well done SN. Just ahead of Tinkoff in a close fight.

My team on par. Not as strong as top5 but just behind the best teams. Unfortunately couldn't send 2-3 mediocre timetrialists here to attach the top5 such as De Bie race day wise but it's done small points by basically helpers only which I also take.
