Rakuten with two shots at glory, but Niu and Jiang definitely not without a chance.
The early break gets caught without any problems. Zhao leading out Liu, it’s clear who the Rakuten leader is. 2.5 km to go, isn’t this a bit too early?
There he goes! 800 meters left for Liu, behind him we see Niu, Jiang and Ji!
300 meters to go and it’s still the Rakuten rider in the lead, but Niu seems to be making more speed now!
But no problem for Liu, as he wins the 2020 Chinese road title!

Chinese Time Trial Championship
Time for the time trial? Who will win? Nobody knows.
What a surprise! An incredible performance by Shikai sees the time trial title go to Rakuten as well! It was very close, as he only beats number two Ji by a few seconds, 187 to be precise.
