Wollongong 2022, Women's ITT: Competely Focused

As she waited to start her race of truth, Annemiek Van Vleutin (Netherlands) could be seen completely focused on the task at hand even before she took to the start house.  As she went down the start ramp, she was no less dialed in as she got herself up to speed.  Unfortunately, she wasn't able to match the speed of the Australian in the hot seat waiting at the end of the course.  She finished her day in seventh, at least she can take comfort in knowing she was in the top ten.  I imagine she will be just that much more intense when it comes time for the road race this coming weekend.

Tour, Stage 13: What Has to Be Done

Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo) had dropped pretty far down on the general classification over the first half of this year's Tour.  Today, he had to put in a good ride if he had any hope of having a highly placed finish in Paris.  He did just that finishing fifth on the day, putting time in most of those ahead of him on the leader board.

Tour, Stage 13: Out of the Gate

One of the first of the start of the race favorites to roll down the start ramp was Rigoberto Uran (EF Education First), The Colombian has been having a quiet Tour up until today.  He got around the course in thirty five and a half minutes, putting him near the top of the leader board at the line in Pau.  His efforts did help move him up the general classification, but not far enough for his liking.

Doha 2016, Elite Men's ITT: Through the Time Check

Tom Dumoulin (Netherlands), the penultimate rider on the road was already chasing the times of several riders as he hit the first time check out on course.  Like Tony Martin the year before, Dumoulin suffered a broken bone in a crash in the Tour de France prior to coming to the Worlds.  And like Martin's efforts in 2015, Dumoulin had a disappointing finish today.  The Dutchman only manage an eleventh place on the day.

Richmond 2015 UCI Worlds:

No sooner than Monika Zur (Poland) had been pulled back than another rider went on the offensive. The team most often on the attack was Australia, this time is was their rider, Katrin Garfoot, who was lighting it up.  As the laps continued to tick by the big names were starting to pay attention to the moves (or at least have one of their teammates monitor the front end of the race).
