The Rainbow Is Coming Home
Tomorrow morning starts the cycling world championship week. Hundred years of rainbow colors! And this year, it is happening in Flanders.
Tomorrow is the Men’s Time Trail race, 43.3km from Knokke to Brugge.
Here’s my prediction.
- Filippo Ganna
- Wout Van Aert - I’ll be rooting for him. A second spot will fan his hunger for a week later.
- Stephan Kung, current European Time Trial champion. He is in form.
Remco will put on a solid performance, but won’t be on the podium, nor is Primoz Roglic or Rohan Dennis.
Sadly TV-maker Otto-Jan Ham won’t beat the slowest rider, and thus fail in his attempt. Elodie on the other hand does have a chance. The Flemish TV show “De tijd van ons leven”, where they train to be time trialists, has been great entertainment. Yet, it shows how hard cycling is, and that it takes a lot to be a professional rider. Geen pannekoeken!
