SPECIAL | Comparing Vuelta a Espana's favourites time-trial positions
CyclingTuesday, 05 September 2023 at 22:00
Time-trials in cycling are a combination of power and technology. A discipline where the tiniest of details are taken into consideration, we take a look at the positions of some of the Vuelta a Espana contenders on their TT bikes during today's stage 10.
Whilst the position does not define the times of the riders, small differences are possible to see between some of the main favourites for the win at the Vuelta a Espana. Besides the new World Champion equipment of Remco Evenepoel, the day also saw the man in the red jersey, Sepp Kuss, put on a brilliant time which came as a surprise.
It is possible to see a small difference when comparing the likes of Sepp Kuss, Lenny Martínez and Enric Mas - who do not specialize in the discipline - against the rest. The rest of the main GC contenders for victory at the Vuelta are all quality riders against the clock, but still between them it is possible to see interesting details such as Jonas Vingegaard's very long reach in the TT bars and Remco Evenepoel extremely tight position.

The pure time-trialists
Of course we cannot forget the purists of the discipline. Italian and European Champions Filippo Ganna and Stefan Bissegger were both on the hotseat, and the INEOS Grenadiers rider took the victory. The course, which did not feature climbs and was good for the pure powerhouses, finally saw Ganna take the best out of Evenepoel after his defeats at the Giro d'Italia and the World Championships.

- Pidcock is starting to sound like Froome now.Sweep18-11-2024
- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
