LIVE LIVE OF THE EUROPEAN WOMEN’S TIME TRIAL FROM 14.00
18.44 Maciej Bodnar slips into third place at the finish line, behind Bissegger and Bjerg. For the Pole and the Dane, however, it will be difficult to maintain the podium positions.
18.43 They were the three most anticipated, and gold will be played on the thread of seconds, perhaps tenths. Once again it’s Italy-Switzerland!
18.41 This is the very balanced situation at 15.3 km, it is a challenge on the tenths:
- Stefan Küng (SUI) 18:04.36
- PHILIP GANNA (NOW) +1.92
- Stefan Bissegger (SUI) +2.88
18.38 GANNA SECOND TO THE INTERMEDIATE! Only 1 ”92 behind Küng!
18.37 Stefan Küng moves to 15.3 km with the best time! 2 ”better than his compatriot. Ganna passes soon!
18.37 Mikkel Bjerg ends his test in second place, behind Bissegger by 26 ”67.
18.35 Van Emden’s time high in the intermediate. Maciej Bodnar is second at 15.3 km with a 26 ”32 delay from Bissegger.
18.33 Stefan Bissegger goes abundantly in the head! The Swiss stops the clock at 27’05 ”96. An exceptional time that projects him towards a medal.
18.31 Near the finish line Bissegger who seems to be invaded towards the first provisional position.
18.29 The provisional top3 at the second split time, after 15.3km, reads as follows:
- Stefan Bissegger (SUI) 18’07 ”24
- Mikkel Bjerg (DEN) + 9”22
- Ben Healy (IRL) +29”89
18.27 The Danish Mikkel Bjerg passes second at 15.3 km. The second delay from Bissegger is 9 ”22.
18.26 The Irish Ben Healy leads the finish line with 28’01 ”50, lowering Vaquelin’s time by 16 seconds.
18.25 Stefan Bissegger destroys the Irish Healy’s time after 15.3 km. 30 ”of margin for the Swiss who wants to aim strongly for a medal.
18.24 This is the provisional ranking at the finish when the best are still missing:
- Kevin Vaquelin (FRA) 28’17”61
- Morten Hulgaard (DEN) 28’18”47 +0”86
- MATTIA CATTANEO (ITA) 28’47’40 “+ 29” 43
18.22 Filippo Ganna is already first after 700 meters. He counts for little as an intermediate but it is already a good sign!
18.20 WE ARE THERE! THE WORLD CHAMPION TRIAL BEGINS! COME ON FILIPPO!
18.18 Part Walscheid. Next will be Reigning Champion Stefan Küng!
18.17 The test of interesting men such as Jos Van Emden and Maciej Bodnar has begun. Only the best are missing!
18.15 A lackluster test ends for Mattia Cattaneo. The blue takes the lead on the finish line, but it is unlikely that the time of 28’47 ”40 will lead him to a great result.
18.12 So this is the top3 at the second intermediate so far:
- Kevin Vaquelin (FRA) 18’51”71
- Morten Hulgaard (DEN) 18’59”84 – +8”13
- MATTIA CATTANEO (ITA) 19’02’18 “- + 10” 37
18.10 Parte lo Slovenian Jan Tratnik.
18.09 One after another, the Danish Hulgaard and then the French Vaquelin lowered the best time after 15.3 km. Cattaneo’s time is therefore the third reference.
18.08 Mikkel Bjerg is now leaving. The Dane is a man who can aim for medals.
18.07 The first data from the finish arrive: the best time for now is the 29’13 ”33 of the Serbian Ilic.
18.05 MATTIA CATTANEO BEST TIME IN THE INTERMEDIATE! 19’02’18 “for the blue!
18.03 The time of Zumer is in fact canceled. Meanwhile Stefan Bissegger is leaving!
18.00 We are notified of a crazy split by the Slovenian Zumer who would have stopped the clock at 17’19 “with 2 minutes on all the others. We reserve some doubts about the veracity of this data.
17.58 Oier Lazkano prints a 19’18 ”10 after 15.3 km, jumping to the top of the standings on the second reference.
17.57 As expected, the Kosovar Nuha, after having made the first climb strong, already has more than 4 ‘of delay at the second intermediate time.
17.55 The new best time at 15 km is set by the Serbian Ognjen Ilic with 19’28 ”65.
17.54 The French Kevin Vaquelin and the Polish Filip Maciejuk will also be on the route. In the meantime, you can see the world champion body of Filippo Ganna who is finishing the warm-up.
17.52 The Armenian Grigoryan is the first to pass to the second intermediate, placed after 15.3 km. His time is 20’53 ”60.
17.50 Huulgard leads the first intermediate with 1’22 “90. Cattaneo’s time is 1’27 ”24.
17.49 The Austrian Rainer Kepplinger and the Dane Morten Huulgard also left. A few interlocutors before another big name.
17.47 Third time for the blue in the intermediate place after 700 meters. Further proof of how this reference really matters little.
17.45 Cattaneo party. GO MATTIA!
17.44 The Hungarian Marton Dina and the Czech Jakub Otruba leave. The next to leave will be our Mattia Cattaneo!
17.42 In the meantime Lazkano did much worse than Nuha at the first split, same thing for Siskevicius. The reference is placed so early that it does not give great indications, but certainly to underline the first part of the Kosovar.
17.39 The Macedonian Andrej Petrovski also left. It is now the turn of the two-time Lithuanian specialty champion Evaldas Siskevicius.
17.37 Ognjen Ilic left for Serbia and Matic Zumer from Slovenia. The next to leave, the Spaniard Oier Lazkano, will give us some more references.
17.36 For now the best reference to the first intermediate is from Nuha with 1’24 “44.
17.35 Departures every minute and a half. Blerton Nuha from Kosovo and Serghei Tvetcov from Romania are on the track.
17.34 Grigoryan goes in front of Milonjic at the intermediate time after the 500 meters climb. These are times that will soon be beaten.
17.32 The official program provided for the departure of Aberasturi, the first to descend on the course is a Montenegrin runner. After him it’s Stepan Grigoryan from Armenia.
17.29 LET’S GO! The Time Trial of the European Championships has begun!
17.27 The first runner approaches the starting gate. We are almost there.
17.24 If the big favorites for gold once again appear to be Filippo Ganna and Stefan Küng, the fight for medals seems more open. Among the candidates Stefan Bissegger, Mikkel Bjerg, Jos Van Emden, without underestimating the possibilities of the second blue, Mattia Cattaneo.
17.22 The first runner to start will be the Spaniard Jon Aberasturi at 17.28. Mattia Cattaneo will start the first rides at 5.45 pm while Filippo Ganna will be the last rider to start at 6.19 pm.
17.20 35 runners will start from Fürstenfeldbruck to parade over the 24 km of the route. It starts immediately with an uphill stretch, at the end of which the first intermediate is placed. From that moment on, the road is suitable for the great specialists, with a lot of plains and long straights where you can speed.
17.18 At first the technical manager Marco Velo had foreseen the participation of Matteo Sobrero together with Cattaneo. Then the Bike Exchange rider said he wasn’t feeling well and Ganna proposed to participate, perhaps also in light of a rather colorless online test.
17.15 The opportunity is therefore tempting to try to “avenge” the defeat received last year at the hands of the Swiss Stefan Küng, reigning champion and one of the favorites also today.
17.13 There is great expectation among Italian fans for a test in which at least one medal can be expected. In fact, among the participants we can field Mattia Cattaneo and above all Filippo Ganna, reigning World Champion and first-class chronoman.
17.10 Friends of OA Sport, good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the men’s time trial valid for the European Road Cycling Championships!
Friends of OA Sport, good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the men’s time trial valid for the European Road Cycling Championships! The start and finish will be hosted by the city of Fürstenfeldbruck, in the immediate vicinity of Munich.
Following a decision made at the last moment, the specialty World Champion Filippo Ganna will be present at the starting gate to defend the blue colorsparading on the 24 km foreseen by the route with his wonderful world champion body.
The opportunity is very good to try to “avenge” the defeat suffered last year by the Swiss Stefan Küng, who presents himself here as a champion in charge. For Ganna, already medalist at world and Olympic level (albeit on the track with the quartet), what is missing is a continental title to complete a palmares that is already top of the class.
The main rivals for the two challengers could turn out to be their respective teammates. Mattia Cattaneo for Italy and Stefan Bissegger for Switzerland they seem to be among the few with the right credentials to worry the two favorites. Attention also to the Danish Mikkel Bjerd and the Dutch Jos Van Emden.
The first runner will start at 17.30. From that moment, a departure every minute and a half until 18.19, when, last, Filippo Ganna will leave. OA Sport offers you LIVE LIVE of the men’s time trial valid for the European Road Cycling Championships, with minute-by-minute and real-time updates so you don’t miss a single emotion! Do not miss!
