Ganna buries the old world time trial order

These are times of change in world cycling, at this point it is absurd to even doubt it.

The stars of the past are fading (Valverde, Nibali, Cavendish ...) or blurring (Froome, Sagan, Van Avermaet ...) and are replaced by a generation much later than theirs.

They resist intermediate names, such as

and

, even some already veteran like

, but those who really pick up the baton are young cyclists, almost all under 25 years old, who advance their maturity until they already claim the throne of the best events in the world. calendar.

There are the last four grand tour winners, with

and

accompanying Roglic, all of them releasing their record in these races.

Even in the Monuments, due to their own classic terrain characteristics for experienced runners, relays such as those of

(at 0:40 ), both of Ganna's teammates at Ineos.

The Australian, great dominator of the specialty in recent years, gold in the two previous World Cups, seemed in a position to compete for the gold to Ganna in the first part of the circuit, in which the wind whipped against, but he fell to the fifth place in the most favorable section.

Van Aert, on the other hand, recovered ground in the second half and consolidated his candidacy to be world champion en route on Sunday.
