  • The 100km Team Time Trial is possibly the hardest cycling event of the Olympic Games and certainly one of the most prestigious. Unfortunately like other cycling events, this event no longer exists in the Olympic Games program for cycling. In 1988 in Seoul Korea, the East German team who were branded 'The Grey Ghosts' rode under 2 hours to break the record and beat the reigning champions.

    I did the Oregon state 100km TTT in about 1992. We lost 1 guy at 25km, and another at 50km. We did a 2 man 50km TTT after that and got 2nd... I remember being crushed!

    100k ttt was the best. If you've never done one, you owe it to yourself to get your mates and try it out. Toughness, teamwork, sacrifice, it has it all.

    I recall the Dutch Team from Mexico 1968 with Joop Zoetemelk, Jan Krekels, Fedor den Hertog, and René Pijnen. I remember the Swedish Petterson brothers (all 4 of 'm!). Bring back this fantastic Team Time trial !!!

    Great how the US commentary beforehand says how the bike technology has evened everything up, so it comes down to fitness of the riders, while the Aussie commentators spend the race pointing out how the US (aero bars) & EG (Kevlar lightweight) bikes give them such an advantage over everyone else. It was the bike tech that won it!

    • @acko2k
      @acko2k  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      haha yes. They were ahead of the times though introducing the tt bars a year before Lemond used them to win the TDF. Certainly changed cycling for good.
