He's the pp favourite but what is their knowledge of the other participants? Limited, I would suspect.

UCI coverage of the Women Junior ITT. Josie Knight should be off in a few minutes.

Kurtosis

Thanks for that!

Liking how the commentator keeps switching between saying Josie Knight and José Knight, they are in Spain after all...

From what I gather Kung & Flakemore are perceived as more or less as strong as Mullen, not that I have any real notion or opinion of the truth myself.

All the bookies on Oddschecker have him as favourite although they probably are just copying each other, http://www.oddschecker.com.au/cycling/world-championships/u23-mens-time-trial/winner

Still though, Mullen is in with a great chance.

gordongekko

Any idea what time he's heading down the ramp at?

14:48 according to Cycling Ireland

Mullen down to third favourite now with PP! Grain of salt and all that.

C'mon Ryan Mullen ....top talent this boy

REBELSAFC

Weather is awful

.......not sure if spoilers were needed for that but just in case :rolleyes:

Beasty

What I don't understand is why they hold these events in places where the weather is miserable - they should bring it to Ireland where they can usually expect glorious weather at this time of year ....
:pac:

bazermc

Oh no, Jonathan Edwards and probably Hugh Porter talking about how great Chris Froome for hours and hours. please bring back Carlton - the home of cycling - except for the Worlds

He dropped time in the second split to the first guy out, only 5s in it now, anyone know if it was dry for the first fella?

Mullen is looking very good.

Reis (the current leader) lost time to all his rivals in the third section so IF Ryan holds it together here he has a huge chance

Brilliant performance - let's hope no-one does a miraculous late surge

49.5km/h - needs to start thinking about the hour record!!

Keung and Flakemore 20 and 22 secs down at 2nd split.....Surely its Gold for Mullen
