Individual time trial

Ganner's in a tough spot because...

He's not going to win a Tour de France in ITT.

He can win a Giro TT for you every year.

He's clearly the second best world champs time trial rider, but the gap between Ramco is growing.

Likkenhoorn and Demivolring both were under expectations for me.

Juliette Berthe was not on the level in terms of performance that she was last year, because I swear she...

Didn't she podium Worlds last year? ITT? I can't recall, but...

I vaguely remember that, but Francisca Koch doing it this time in 5th place is a strong performance and highlights the level we've seen all year.

Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for the preview of the World Championships Individual Time Trial, both men and women's.

The women's is on, they're both on Sunday, I believe.

We got Renko Evenepoel as the heavy favorite for the men's.

We're going extreme here.

Anyway, we'll do a proper, as I said, I cannot do a World Championships road race preview until I've seen the Queen stage of Tour of Luxembourg this evening.

And so we will do the World Championships individual time trial preview.

This Sunday, it begins from, it's in Montreal, 39.2 kilometers.

As Benji said, it has a little hill at the end.

As always, I'm joined by Patrick Blake about recycling.

And today was the second time trial of the world test by near 2026.

And Patrick, what exactly happened on the day?

Well, it was once again a very hot day in Spain.

But because there's a bit of GC action today, we thought we'd decide to actually do a recording today.

So stage 18 from El Puerto de Santa Maria de Jerez de la Frontera.

It's a 32 kilometer, pretty flat time trial.

Although the second intermediate split did happen over some little bumps early on.
