The Dutch are a TTT machine. I still associate them with some of those great ttt squads Alex put together.
Great reports, I am taking a liking to Junguls.

Grrr, so close for Zmorka, another close second place for Metinvest after the TTT one for Ignatiev. 
They are almost similar in terms of stats, so it was 50/50 race, thanks for confidence to those guys, who bet on Marlen and he disappointed them (and also Smowzy for nice words). But dont worry, unlike Haugard, Zmorka will be back next year with 80TT, still not maxed. 
Tsmoha, you are reporting genius, one of the best ITT reports i have ever read really. At that "he is fighting for his country" point, i was already thrilled and stunned. 
Congrats Heine! Really nice battle

Three in a row!  The Russian look to be the new main challengers. Especially next year with Posthuma declining and Yatsevich maxing.

Most likely my only chanse to win this, so it was really fun. Zmorka should pretty much have this secured next year though. Can't see anyone beating him

Next year though Van Winden should be there again for the Netherlands as also guys like Dumoulin be maxed.
I would be more afraid of Germany when Walsleben and later Sütterlin get maxed. 4 80+ then.
Also Australia. Rogers out in 1-2 years but Howson is maxed then. Durbridge alreardy 80+ next year.
Russia with Yatsevich and Vorobev maxed surely must be considered stronger.

Great to hear that people associate the Dutch TTT machine with my TTT machines
roturn, Walsleben hasn't been trained as a time - trialist

Thanks all for the kind words on those TT reports! Means a lot to me, since i used to hate reporting on my team's strongest kind of terrain. Pretty satisfied with my progress in this reporting area
Next event will be online later, so time for you to re-check the timetable and startlist on page #1!

Pretty dominating performance from Phinney. Not any results to speak of from the Bacardi boys. I hope i don't meet Phinney too much next year in PT, but i doubt it  .
Great report once again!

Well that was conclusive! Phinney ontop again and he's gonna be around the podium next year and the year after and the year after and the..... etc etc. Some surprises lower down, Ignatiev underperforming to my eyes whilst Kritskiy was above expectation.
Looking through you wonder how Russia or Australia or France didn't win the TTT.
Now bring on the U23 and A RR's!!!

Thanks, Ian
Solid win for Phinney, but great to see Rogers concluding his good season with the silver medal here! The guy was just damn good in important races this season and he really delivered in his final year on this highest level. Great stuff.
Ford also strong. Guess beating Coppel would have been too much Cancellara with a poor race after facing rumors that he's going Continental next year...

Meeehh. This was bad. Keizer just 8th while Schädlich as 18th is just not acceptable.
This was far, far below expectations. I guess Cancellara also a big disappointment.
Thanks for this report. Nice to follow! |

Another great TT win at the Worlds by Phinney, congratulations Dave!
Rogers with a major upset as well in second place. Cool to see that such surprises are possible in a TT as well
Suspect Smowz is slightly disappointed with bronze, but not much you can do when the daily form isn't friendly, I guess.
Thanks for another nice TT report, tsmoha, and congratulations on the silver! |

Another superb report, thanks tsmoha! Congrats to silver medal too!
Phinney too strong. Coppel once again at least solid, nice to see him doing well. Sergent quite decent, hoped for something a little bit better. Kreuziger as expected. Nice to see my former guy Malori in top 20 too.

Phinney adds one more to his tally. Probably the most predictable race of the worlds, but still another classy report tsmoha. I agree with you, TTs have grown well on you as a writer. One can really feel the thrill of the moment with the way you spread your words.
Also it's good to see Costa break into the top40
Now, give us some RRs. I'm craving for some intense sprints!

Phinney? Didn't see that one coming
Disappointed with Gesink's result. But I guess this reflects his season perfectly.
Awesome work as always, tsmoha!

Another great report with a clear winner.
Good to see Renäng getting a mention as well as finishing as best Swede - bodes well for the NC...

Some surprising results! I was expecting much more from Coppel...
Nice permormances by Mottin and Kritskiy and of course Rogers.
Congratulations Dave for the result and thanks Tsmoha for the report!

Was really hoping to see Rogers win, Would've been great for Australia.
I'm really enjoying this, pick a rider/team and support them for the race game.
