World's 2017

Funny from Brian Smith saying "Typical Belgian" when one used the carpet to ride on and not for a bike change

Wow, the crowds on the climb are class!!

Wow they are literally being roared up the climb there. Fantastic stuff to see.

I'll admit that I had never heard of Laurens De Plus before this race.

Some difference between Bergen and Doha last year

EBH seemingly going with normal road bike with clip-on bars for the ITT according to Brian Smith

They've done a great job of marshalling and cordoning on the climb, no runners and road kept relatively wide so riders have as much room as possible.

I think Bergen can be added to the bucket list of places I'd like to visit because it looked great during a cycling race!

Well his name is definitely a plus.

Sorry, I'm just looking to add to the conversation

I am expecting Dumoulin to win this easily. Froome, Dennis, Bodnar, Kelderman and Kwiatkowski should contend for the medals. Amazing that Martin is unlikely for a medal, shows how much he has regressed.

Nico is in good form. That said anything in the top 15 is a good result in this company.

Kwiatkowski isn't riding!

What is Nico's best result in the TT previously? Didn't he get a good top 15 spot a couple of years ago?

13th in 2013

Carlton Kirby praises the crowd for paying attention to the rider passing by - while himself is paying no attention whatsoever. He's so obsessed with crowd behaviour, does my head in.

dastardly00

Given the course, and if he is in good form... maybe he could get top-15? Or top-12?

dastardly00

Nico is next to leave the start gate, but it won't be until 15:05 Irish time

Live coverage is on BBC2 now for anyone sick of Carlton

Was about to mention the same

you can see the devastation of the final climb. Yves Lampaert led at every check point and had 26 seconds until he hit the hill and dropped to 5th almost a minute down.

the Stage 18 Tour TT from last year springs to mind - Dumoulin up at every point bar the last 100 metres of the climb before Froome took the honours.

Will be interesting to see how Kelderman gets on. He's not too far away from the climb now

dastardly00

Nico just started

Eddie Boss stuck to his guns , and went out on a road bike with tri bars. Be interesting to see how he goes.

OH Kirby , kirby , kirby...people getting vitamin D ...ha ha statues !!

Hamish Bond... multiple Olympic and World Championship winner in rowing! Jaysus!

Nico was 15.3 seconds behind fastest time at first time check

Kiriyienka looks very relaxed there.

I meant Kyrienka rather than Kwiatkowski. Sorry.



Great ride so far from Moscon. Interesting to see if he can keep it up.

Good ride so far from Roche. A top 15 here would be a great result. The field is way deeper than it was in 2013.
