On a Fast One UCI21-5
One of the challenges with painting a time trial is trying to guess who will be the players in the leader board at the end of the day. Kasper Asgreen (Denmark) was out on a strong ride putting in yet another new best time at the first time check. He stayed near the top as he completed the course, claiming the second spot on the podium when he finished. Unfortunately for the Dane, two of the three behind him out road him. He finished the day in that awful position of just off of the podium. As I watched the race I was struck by just how many bike lanes were all over the course most of which were protected from cars and trucks (that is what the red stripe is going across the road... the red streak is Asgreen). I think I need to spend some time riding in Europe soon.
