There was never any doubt of the outcome, when australian Rohan Dennis swept all opposition out of the way and smashed his nearest competitors at the WORLD championships in the time trial. Thus defended the 29-year-old australian his world championship in enkeltstartsdisciplinen.
Before that he had two danes have been at the launch ramp. First ran Martin Toft Madsen out on the 54-kilometre long time trial. He had before the challenger hoped for a ranking in the top-10, but the Danish enkeltstartsspecialist disappointed horribly and had to settle for a 29. space.
instead, it was belgian stortalent and outsider for the WORLD title of Remco Evenepoel fastest out of the starting blocks and set a best lap time of all at the first split time.
Later rolled the Danish medal Kasper Asgreen out on the 54-kilometer-long route, but the 24-year-old dane was already far after its belgian match from the european championships in the summer at the first split time.
Last year’s world champion in the time trial, Rohan Dennis, resembled rather a man who was keen to defend his title from last year. He was 19 seconds ahead of Evenepoel at the first split time.
At this time had the Italian Filipo Ganna set the best time in the goal.
Out on the route there was suddenly drama, as the belgian holder of the timerekorden, Victor Campenaerts, was a trip in the asphalt, and was subsequently overtaken by his direct competitor for the WORLD champion Rohan Dennis.
instead roared and the defending australian champion off and continued the tough pace on the enkeltstartscyklen. He was over a minute faster than Remco Evenepoel, which was second-best at the second intermediate time.
Danish Kasper Asgreen had to turn true, that it was not for a WORLD cup medal in this game, and at the second intermediate time was the dane over a minute for a potential place in the medals.
Kasper Asgreen had in goal to thank with a disappointing 17. space and may, thus, true that the dream of the WORLD cup-the metal was far from being met.
Different strong drove Remco Evenepoel, who came in the goal in the provisional best time. The time kept however, not all the way for the young belgian stortalent, for Rohan Dennis had fire in his eyes and meant it seriously.
The australian tempospecialist continued the tough pace completely to the goal, where he came to finish over a minute better than Evenepoel. Italian Filipo Ganna drove a great time trial and took care of the bronze.
Thus regained Rohan Dennis WORLD championships in the individual time trial after a tremendous performance.
