National Road Race Championships - All Countries **Spoilers**

Fancy a punt on Cummings repeating the feat, do you?

Why not?

 

[smutchin]

Why not?

It's possible. Depends if he can catch the bunch napping and go on one of his long solo attacks, but I think others will want it too much to let that happen.

He's already done incredibly well to come back from his crash in April.

I think Marmers is right about Millar. Fancy a punt on Cummings repeating the feat, do you?

Kwiatkowski could also be a good bet to do the Polish double. Beating Bialoblocki in the TT is pretty impressive.

Millar in 2007 is the only Brit ever to do the double, as BC didn't hold a TT championships until 1995.

Johnny "Racist Racer" Moscon wins the Italian TT jumper

German ITT today - can the fading Tony Martin can make it six in a row? I reckon Jasha Sütterlin might give him a run for his money this year.

Der Panzerwagen can indeed make it six in a row, but only by 15 seconds over Sütterlin this time. That might even have been interesting to watch.

...yeah, but it was a time trial, so I have my doubts!

Sutterlin was a good call Smutch. I have to confess that his name had passed me by.

He was second to Tony Martin last year as well, but with a much bigger time gap. Partly because Martin is fading, of course, but also because he is getting better - he's still only 24. He did well in the TT at the Dauphiné too - beat Froome and Contador.

Bizarrely, he actually looks like a young Tony Martin.

Maybe they just cloned him.

Bizarrely is a bit harsh...
...but I take your point

Joey Rosskopf wins US TT; impressive

And as an aside - I stuck a few quid on Sutterlin for the Tour opener, now much reduced price

Presumably Phinney and Talansky are already on their way to France?
