| TT | | TT |  Yatsevich | 80 |  Christian | 77 |  Stannard | 79 | Sebright | 77 |  Robert | 79 |  Cruz | 76 |  Tennant | 78 |  Navardauskas | 76 |  Steensen | 77 |  Beukeboom | 76 |  Ma | 77 |  Zoidl | 76 |  Flens | 77 | | |
The Bavarian inspired capital of Namibia is the venue for this straightforward TT. For those ct riders who pride themselves against the clock, this is one of their big targets for the season.
Let's not beat around: the season, so far, has been dire for The Spark Project. With the top favourite here, Yatsevich, they may be hoping for a rare moment of success. However, of late, TTs are very hard to predict and you wouldn't bet your house on the Russian winning. cycleYorkshire s/b ASDA-Savers bring two riders who could contest the win, including former winner Stannard.
Tennant, Steensen and the like will be looking for a good day in the saddle and a top placing. Real dark horses for the win include: Zoidl,  Bonnet,  Tzortzakis and Goldstein: the latter will especially look to feature as his team won this race last season!
Nambian TT champion,  Petrus, is the one the locals will be looking out for. But he may be one or two levels away from thinking about winning this one.

Yatsevich vs Stannard normally.
No idea who this Robert is. 
Tennant with outsider chances.
But obviously it`s more likely to be random anyway. |

With TT's so far this season, anything could happen here! So lets go Stoenchev and see if you can grab some wholely unexpected points. (Yes this was a race-day filling race i thought would get low attendence and with tt rng could deliver something). Zero expectations on all three of my guys, but at least we bag the XP

The 3 "weaker" assets of my TTT train looking to shine in a race that really left us content last season with a 1st and 3rd place by my guys, with Tennant in the Generali sandwich who is also back but with a lot more opposition as it seems... damn the CT sure is strong this year, glad I had a TT team last year and not this one!
Surely Yatsevich can't let this one slip out of his hands right? That said a top 10 would greatly please me.

I'm hoping for a top 5 from Steensen here in what's likely his main goal of the season, but I'm well aware that on any given day he could be out of the top 10.

I thought it would be less well contested than this, but I'm still looking for a top 10 out of Zoidl nonetheless, the other 2 youngsters are future TT riders that are here to gain experience and I thought why not let them have a go at it if it's their speciality.

2 wasted race days basically. SMH that was one absolutely crap TT performance.
Thank you The Rider for the splendid report and taking the time to take a beautiful screen of Marchewka riding in our colors:
And congrats to bwiggins obviously, even though Yatsevich performance was not as good as it should have been imo. At least my bet still paid off!

11th isn't quite the top 10 I wanted out of Zoidl, but it should still bring some points in for us so can't complain too much.
Nice to see the favourite take a TT for a change.

Didn't expect much but nice to see Ngandamba as an early pace setter on the day. 11th for Tzortzakis is a shame when so close to a Top 10

Given that Bonnet wasn't one of the top 10 strongest riders here, I'm pretty happy with him taking 6th here as they are vital points for us in this lower category race.

well Robert was disappointing and Cruz should never beat Stannard. Given how random TTs have been I'll take a 3rd place from this

There's very little that surprises me about my team's failure anymore.

This was one of our worst races of the season - I'll need better TT riders next season
