No comments about the women’s TT where AVV put a minute into the rest of the field in half the distance?
Yeah fair point, was just my initial reaction as had been expecting a tighter finish. Commentators did give some analysis of how Roglic might have paced it.
Roglic went faster on lap two, he was clearly pacing differently on the climbs hence the yo-yo with two other riders
You can't deny though that that yo-yo affect provided an advantage to both riders, which probably contributed further to the yo-yo affect as they both benefited from the stronger rider being in front relative to the terrain.
I.e Roglic getting a huge drafting boost on descents before pulling Asgreen up the next climb, again and again.
You can't eliminate drafting completely but that was a bit of a ****-take imo.
I could have misheard but I'm sure the commentary said Dennis was less than 1 second behind not long before Roglic met Asgreen.
Splits are here, click on Race Analysis tab.
Men's TT Results He didn't put a minute into the others "in the final kms", more like the second half.
As for drafting Asgreen, they overtook each other at least twice, Roglic faster uphill Asgreen faster downhill (heavier). I didn't see Roglic draft for 'several minutes".

They were comparing with the Dutch rider, the way they did the splits was confusing
