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.

- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024

- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
