Dilier won Swiss ITT, also no surprise with Cancellara not riding
More surprising, Kelderman won Dutch ITT, with Dumoulin only in 4th :shock: . Not sure what happened there

"I was not fully recovered from last week's Tour de Suisse, but hoped that 95% would be enough for the win. Unfortunately, that was not the case as the level turned out to be too high to take the beautiful jersey home," Dumoulin said after the race as he finished just four seconds off the podium. "I set my pace using my power meter but the first intermediate already showed that my time wasn't great so I had to accelerate, which I was not capable of,' Dumoulin said. "After the altitude training camp I directly went to the Tour de Suisse, where I dug deep and fought for my GC position every day. For now, I will focus on my recovery and take my rest."Contador is the Greatest0

That Wiggins win in Romandie was awesome. Not that often anyone goes to lead out a sprint and ends up winning it!0

2012 was some season for Wiggins, hey?"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

He may not win it again this weekend, but I'd be amazed if he doesn't have it again sometime in his career.

Is Wiggins riding the TT? Over the last month or so I've seen reports saying he was, then that he wasn't then that he was again.
If not, I assume Dowsett is odds-on fav?Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -
And is thread UK Nats, or all Nats?
If the latter, then I predict that - in spite of being a bit long in the tooth - Chava will win his 24th consecutive TT title.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -

British U23's TT recently finished. Scott Davies retains his title.
1. Scott Davies 47.20.32
2. Owain Doull 47.26.53
3. Tao Geoghegan Hart 47.37.90
Report from BC100%ME’s Scott Davies successfully defended his British under-23 time trial title in Lincolnshire on Thursday.
The 19-year-old from Carmarthen fought off a strong challenge from fellow Welshman, Team Wiggins’ Owain Doull, recording a time of 47:20.32 to retain the jersey he won in Monmouthshire 12 months ago.
The under-23 men’s competition saw riders face an undulating 33.6-kilometre course starting and finishing in Lincolnshire’s Cadwell Park motor racing circuit, providing a unique location for the annual test against the clock.
Charlie Tanfield was the first rider to set a benchmark, the Easton Ritte rider stopping the clock at 49:37.80 for the 33.6-kilometre effort before Chris Fennell of Catford CC Equipe/Banks lopped half a minute off Tanfield’s time, recording a time of 49:07.13.
But it was 100%ME’s Gabriel Cullaigh who produced the first sub-49-minute time, scorching around the Lincolnshire course to record a time of 48.40.72. Cullaigh’s 100%ME teammate Mark Stewart soon deposed his teammate, taking the hot seat in a time of 48.37.24, shaving another three seconds off the mark.
One Pro Cycling’s Tom Bayliss then showed that a sub-48-minute effort was on the cards, rocketing around the course to record a 48:04.42 effort. James Shaw and Josh Teasdale both produced strong rides but couldn’t topple Bayliss, Teasdale slotting into second ahead of Shaw as the competition approached the sharp end.
With just a handful of contenders remaining Axeon Cycling Team’s Tao Geoghegan Hart was first to break into the 47-minute times with 47:37.90, only for Team Wiggins’ Owain Doull to immediately strike back with a stunning 47:26.53.
But Davies, continuing the stellar form demonstrated earlier in the year at Tour de Yorkshire, did not falter, besting Doull’s time by six seconds with a 47:20.32 masterclass, joining Alex Dowsett and Sam Harrison as only the third rider to win back-to-back under-23 time trial titles.0 -

Maybe the organiser sent his entry back for some perceived slight 15 years ago and he hasn't checked the post box yet and is still wondering why his cheque for £12 hasn't been cashed.[/RTTC humour]"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
