i'm new to cycling and these breakdowns are brilliant. my knowledge of tactics etc is pretty limited at this point so watching your channel gives me a much greater insight. thank you!
This is the essence of the sport, it’s both team and technique oriented. Also, in TTT ‘s we see every single rider using the bike as it is intended to be used, flat out! As opposed to the awkward sight of so many riders way out of GC contention in grand tours riding the TT on a super hopped up TT bike as a recovery day so they can race well or help protect their GC rider in the following stages. So yeah bring back the TTT and keep it.
TTT's have a huge problem in that they introduce big time gaps between teams and these gaps are often insurmountable for any GC contenders in the teams that are behind and so the GC hopes of that team are over from just one stage. This was a short TTT and still resulted in gaps over over a minute for some teams like EF and 40+sec for Bora so their GC hopes are already severely damaged. In longer TTT's as have been used in the past (40-60km) the time gaps ended up being 4-5 minutes. So hypothetically if it had been a 40km TTT and Bora had ended up 4 min behind TJV then Jai Hindley might as well go home. Yes they are great to watch but IMO are not what a GT is all about.
I love TTTs as well and love them to be the opener of a GT. Dont make them too long else the differences will be too big, but its such a beautiful discipline.
@@epincion but that’s cycling. TTT is not just about being rich, sure, you can afford more specialists but there is so much to be gained with proper strategy, training and getting the details right. Also, the simple thing of being a unit rather than just a bunch of cyclists makes a big difference. While I understand the concern, cycling is a team sport and TTT is no different to having multiple mountain specialists in a mountain stage.
@@riquelmeone Disagree. The typical GT is a mix of flat/hilly sprint stages and mountain stages (used to be at 8-10 out of the 21 flat/hilly stages but increasingly nowadays only 4-5 'sprint stages'), so if you are a WT team that is aiming at winning the GC or even just getting a top 5 finish then you need to have team built on a core of climbers. The GC contender himself needs to be an excellent climber, a good sprinter and a good ITT rider. But If you have a TTT in a GT then it will be just one stage, and (especially if a longer distance ) it will result in a big spread of times between teams and the smaller less well funded teams who have with a potential top 5 even only a top 10 GC rider on their roster but who cannot afford the best riders, best equipment, best training camps and lots of wind tunnel use will find there GC rider is now several minutes behind. We saw this in action yesterday - where a number of teams with a GC contender ended up over 1 minute back from the top three and IMO will never claw that time back over the rest of the race.
It has to be hell being behind Remco in a TTT. Huge motor and almost no draft (Julian A). Having coached TTTs and team pursuit, it’s really hard to plan for a technical course. Lots of strategy here, not the least of which is how to save your GC legs. Wish the TTT was still in the Olympics.

@@tugabooga in the Giro Evenepoel had a smalller Endurance base. This Year he has all ready 25.000 km in training and races. And his W/kg this Year is extreme High. So I don't see any reason why he can't substain a High level for 3 weeks.
@@tugabooga At Tirreno he was heavier and it was in cold conditions. At Suisse apparently there was a heat management mistake with him riding in an aero helmet without ventilation and likely also not enough ice. If you get taken out by the heat, you'll need some days to recover from that. It doesn't make sense for him to break like that in Suisse, after only 4 days on a profile that should suite him at least decently. The explanation given by the team here makes sense in that aspect. Since then he has been training more in the heat and QST have improved their heat management for the remainder of the season. Since he started preparing for the Vuelta (after the ardenne classics) he did 2 superb climbing performances and this Suisse debacle, where he imo wasn't even in the best shape at the very start either.
Agreed, although it does penalize good riders on bad teams. I prefer the perfunctory prologue ITT. The TTT does help explain to noobs why cycling is a team sport.
Very ironic what Gesink got red jersey on his last GT. He coulda get golden jersey in 2009 without crashes, but Bala takes that vuelta who also as Robert doing now his last GT. Hopefully Bala will take his stage somewhere like 2x Viviero.

LR I heard the English commentators talking about that since they shortened the GT teams from 9 to 8 riders the minimum you have to finish in the TTT is 4 guys, not 5. They also said the DS's knew that before the race started. It's worth to see the updated rules about this
@@casakaiser From me (Ijburg) to the west part of the course, the wet part, is pretty much exactly 20km. maybe 23 if you're going to be one of 'those' people
Ineos is rebuilding from it's excellent but now older team and have a lot of new younger talented signings many in this team at the Vuelta and some joining next year (eg Thymen Arensman from DSM who has the potential to be Ineos's Sepp Kuss) so IMO the future looks good. TJV took three seasons to get to where they are now. All teams go through such cycles.
Arensman is diffenately not a new Kuss. Arensman is a complete rider, not an pure mountaingoat like Kuss. Jumbo also really wanted Arensman, but he went to Ineos. I belive Ineos showed interest before Jumbo did, but its not known yet why he chose for Ineos. Arensman is a very smart guy. Finished his study. Intentionally didnt go 100% his first 2 years at Dsm. In agreement with the team they decided that for a long career its not good for someone at 20/21 years to put all your food on a scale and be 100% focused on cycling. This year they started with his personalised plate and upped professionalism and his progress has been huge. I think he has 1 more big step to make. Ps Ineos is still an absolute top team
When you're in a TT position with a TT helmet your field of vision and hearing is significantly reduced. And you definitely will have no idea if a teammate loses your wheel. Plus everyone is at their limit, so with the finish being somewhat technical and Remco being so aero that he provides almost zero draft it's really no surprise he dropped his teammates at the end. In other words, not his fault.
I disagree - IMO the reason he went to the front near the end and pulled hard was that he was trying to speed up his team as he knew that they were very close to the time of Ineos. In the end QS was just 1 sec behind. Had QS beaten Ineos Remco would have been in the Maillot Blanc and not Hayter. Unfortunately his small size and position on the bike is so good that he does not draft the rider behind and the team lost his wheel. It was a very reasonable action on his side.
i have no idea why there is so much hype about Remco. If it was backed by some consistent results in relevant races, then i´d understand. With this year´s Vuelta profile, he will be happy for top 5-8....

Personally I think he is more of TT/one day specialist but he's still young and I've seen worse climbers than him win grand tours! I think the main thing is he needs to mature and spare his energy if he wants to be a GC winner.
I love TTTs, but prefer them on wide open roads with sweeping bends for the visual aspect. Evenpoel is very strong but I fear he'll hammer a few stage wins and then blow big time in the third week. Sounds familiar?
Matthew Lee. Remco is not the right person for Jumbo Visma. It has to do with mentality. Men like Wout van Aert but also others in Team Jumbo Visma are willing to work for each other. What Jumbo Visma did with Robert Geesink would never happen in Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl. In Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl they would kill each other in the last kilometer to get the red jersey.🤣🤣🤣
Is there a good explanation for why riders are pointing their knees into turns in low grip conditions like it's motogp? Wouldn't it be safer to keep the inside knee tucked in for better centre of gravity over the tire contact area like MTB and other bike/moto racing where grip is a concern.
oke we know now who will win the vuelta, the man who beats remco will win the vuelta ... Remco is the most talented belgium tour rider in 55 years afther eddy merckx , and Wout is the best 1 day racer of the world ... However I think wout could ride a top 10 place in a big tour.

So Jumbo visma kiss youre 2 hands you have Wout in youre team !!!!!!!!!
Only won one race? He won the Giro, he made it to the podium in ALL 3 grand tours, he won gold at the olympics, and some smaller stage races like Tour de Suisse. Im a fan of Hindley, but his palmares is way less impressive than Carapaz's. And Remco will get destroyed in the 3rd week.

Hola 👋
Froglic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not watching 1.5hrs vuelta preview. Where the heck are Vingegaard and Pogacar? Did they decide to cut roglic some slack or what?
They're getting some rest after the Tour de France
Vingegaard was never scheduled for the Vuelta this year and Pogacar clearly needed the rest after the TdF (and Jonas most likely also).

Hola
Lol..Funny on Chris Horners channel I said Remco would out race his team and screw them!! He is so predictable!! He will not win a big stage race riding the team into the dirt!! He is still to immature and self-centered to win a big one!!
Don’t forget Chris Horner won a grand tour at 42 drug free...
@@benjibodhranboy i know that is completely Awsome!! As a old man myself i loved watching him kick the young guys butts!!! Chris is one of my all time favorite riders next to Greg!!! 2 guys that did it drug free!!! I dought in my book no one at that age will ever win a Grand tour again at that age!! And i have been watching racing since 84!!
Nice prediction, genius!
bala said to his teammates to slow down to get a stage win later #movistarbigbraintactics
JV proving again what a well-drilled Team they are! Congrats.
Aussies all doing well though, which is great to see. Ha ha 😊
But a pity about the variable conditions.... Still, it's an outdoor event, so that happens. A long way to go yet.
