My friend says Bäckstedt isn't and never was good time trialist. I don't think so, but I can't find any good results on big races in TTs. Please hand me some

he won a Giro time trial a few years back. give me a few minutes and I'll tell you the year.
EDIT: turns out he didn't win. 2003 Giro stage 15
1 Aitor Gonzalez Jimenez (Spa) Fassa Bortolo 54.33 (46.746 km/h)
2 Magnus Backstedt (Swe) Team fakta-Pata Chips 0.51
3 Serguei Gontchar (Ukr) De Nardi-Colpack 1.22
4 Dario Frigo (Ita) Fassa Bortolo 1.23
5 Bogdan Bondariew (Ukr) CCC-Polsat 1.30
he was never really a good time triallist. he was a decent one. slightly above average when the TTs are shorter.

He is above average, not bad, but not good either.
In weaker starting fields he can compete for the win. |

He also made an attempt at the hour record.
...okay, not THAT hour record. The derny-paced one. And actually, he was genuinely unlucky in how that played out. |

Bäckstedt is the Swedish road champ. Gustav Larsson is the TT champ, where Bäckstedt was second.

Which makes it a complete mistery how he's such a bad time triallist
