Filippo Ganna

Yeah, it's extraordinarily impressive.

And I mean, like, you know, again, taking the difference, it was literally two to three years ago, Ghana was unstoppable.

You know, current hour record holder, you know, with the 3D printed bike.

Yeah, Dan.

Söderqvist from Sweden had crashed and was, I think, would have been on for third place, but had a bit of a crash.

I feel sorry for him.

But Sexass, you know, only being a handful of seconds away from Ghana, says a lot about what his future Grand Tour potential.

Yeah.

And it's a pad-flat course, really, as well.

Probably Ghana is going.

It could probably be when it would not try.

The Remco will always try.

Today on the show, we are on the ground in Montreal for the World Championships, with the road races to come this weekend.

Evenepoel and Ganna are still arguing over the time trial, and why is Pogačar on the race entry list? Let's get to it.

Welcome to the show.

Who should we start with? Ronan McLaughlin, welcome back.

Probably wise.

Yeah.

Not to be outdone, uh, to have any of the limelight taken away from Worlds this week, uh, Remco Evenepoel and Filippo Ganna have been having a pretty spat, uh, with each other.

Well, a spat is maybe not even the right word.

But yeah, Evenepoel were the first to win four in a row.

And a convincing victory over Filippo Ganna.

57 seconds was the margin of victory.

And the one, well, maybe not only surprise, because there were a few people who underperformed and a few who overperformed.

You know, Kung was seventh, won 44 down from Evenepoel.

So there's a bit of a chasm opening up between Evenepoel and the rest.

And even Ghana, I would suggest, as far as time trial is concerned, which is quite striking, really.

Yeah, and you mentioned Söderqvist.

What I think we will be talking about objectively, if you were to look at who the favorite is.

he's not my pick I'll give you my pick at the end but objectively the Bucky's favourite it's got to be Remco as I said no Pogge if you're picking one rider it's Remco he won GP Quebec back on the 11th Sunday he's just gone and cemented himself maybe as the greatest time trial rider ever with his fourth time trial win almost a minute over Ghana he's already been road world champion Wolong 2022 he was second last year if you remember the podium was Pogge Remco and Ben Healy up Mount Kigali in Rwanda he is a big occasion rider think back to the Olympics winning the road race he turns up when it matters he also has the strongest team in the race but that's a double-edged sword because Wout van Aert is in that team as well so you do have a little bit of the Belgians they're like the Dutch team going to a Outside of them two, it's still a super, super strong team.

Like, it's Maxime van Giel, Thies Benoot, Thibaut Nice, Serge Pels.

It's a super, super Belgian team, which it always is.
