flip flop, dumoulin now favourite again. But I dont like to back him after that crash.
Froome never in top shape after tour de france and not renowned to risk a lot.
Martin, too difficult for him
Cancellara, not prime anymore
So I back kiriyenka and dennis.
Hopefully this time nobody whos on the way to Gold ends in hospital

Conditions not suitable for Froome? How will Dumoulin's form be after breaking wrist at the TdF?
If Dumoulin is in the same form as he was at the Tour he should win easily. How much will his wrist affect him though? Big odds the rest of the field away from Dumoulin and Froome. |

Tom Dumoulin finished.

That was after the 1st time check, he got out to huge odds after the 2nd time check.
Thought the 2 faves were a risk here |

Wow. How do you explain that?

Fabian "Spartacus" Cancellara: Olympic time trial champion 2016 - a fitting end to a legend's career.

By:
Odd result if you think the course was too tough for Martin and Kiriyenka while Cancellara who struggles to keep with Kittel going over a bridge these days wins by a minute.
Not sure I can quite believe this one. |
|
By:
weird for sure.

Those little hills are nothing much - the downhills are more selective than the uphills

When it comes to time trialing no-one does it better than Cancellara. He even quit the Tour de France with his team-mate in second place so that he could concentrate on this race.
|

This is his first TT win since 2011(I've excluded Nat. Champs)! A good showing at the 2013 worlds not withstanding, he's been a pretty mediocre TTer for a long while.

what odds was Cancellara pre race and during? TIA

He was very good in the Tour de Suisse prologue a couple of months ago. Won that in the rain against other riders who had much drier conditions. In retrospect this probably didn't take much winning because of Dumoulin's wrist and Martin's knee

By:
Cancellara injured himself in the road race before the last Olympic TT and how many worlds has he competed in since 2011? Calling him a "pretty mediocre" time triallist is a throwaway comment to fit your present narrative which appears to be he could only have won today's race by cheating.

In fairness he's still probably the best prologue rider around, anything longer though and he just hasn't been able to do it these last few years.

1st National Time Trial Championships 1st Strade Bianche 1st Trofeo Serra de Tramuntana 1st Stage 3 (ITT) Volta ao Algarve 1st Stage 7 (ITT) Tirreno–Adriatico 1st Stage 1 (ITT) Tour de Suisse 2nd Tour of Flanders (via wikipedia) What TT results make him mediocre? And if he's mediocre what does that make everyone else? |

Cancellara 2 x olympic champion
4 x world champion Froome looks quite mediocre the whole year except the 3 weeks in july and dauphine 0 x olympic champion 0 x world champion 0 x one day race reminds me of a certain mr armstrong |
|
By:
Cancellara didn't race in the 2012, 2014 or 2015 world time trials so where did he earn his mediocre tag?
You asked what he had done recently. It's there in black and white. |
