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.

I stated that he hadn't done anything in a TT bar that 2013 worlds for a long time. You don't seem to be able to counter that?

Here are his TT results. Which of his results do you think I've missed?

There's one that stands out apart from the 2013 worlds. There's a thread on these forums from that race with me in equal disbelief.

You've posted a link to a list of stunning results as proof of mediocrity.

'nuff said.

You couldn't find anything then? So as I said earlier he hasn't produced anything in a TT for years.

No doubt Cancellara's result was way out of the ordinary. Haven't seen him in such dominant form since the 2010 tour of Flanders. Cancellara's best ride this year imo again was in the one-day classic

Tour of Flanders. He only trailed Sagan by a handful of seconds going over the last climb. It was essentially a head to head time trial for 15km to the finish but it was Sagan who actually increased

his lead over the great time trialler Cancellara to win the race. Nothing Canc did for the rest of the season (or the previous 2-3 seasons) indicated he had such a performance in him imo.

Then you have the Woman's time trial champion who came out of retirement to win gold in London 4 years ago.

Then at 43 years of age she comes out of retirement again to compete at Rio and again wins gold in the time trial.
