Giro Lombardia ;
9º VanDerKroon In the end he finished good and this result is not bad, but it was not a good race, for example 30sec behind the front group of 33 in s3.
Innsbruck WC Time Trial ;
6º Dékány 23º
Basov26º
KangertI had high expectations of this TT before the favorites were known, but Dékány was just the 5th favorite.
Despite this, still I was hopefull that he could surprise and be the world champion.
But 14sec behind the winner and 8sec behind a podiumplace made clear he was simply not good enough. And/or he had not much luck.
Hamilton WC ;
6º Braem WOW, a very surprising amazing result of this Belgian 8 star hills specialist who had just support of "3 sections helpers",
tactics based on this ánd on the much better rivals, in hinside his team captain tactic could have been perfect. And/or he was very lucky.
The unexpected extra points in Hamilton did not matter ;
before this final race
SPORTLIFE was on a solid
8th place in the season ranking with a big gap towards the nr7 and the nr9.
Not a great season compared to the previous 3 seasons, but 8th with 4 victories is not bad for the now 9 times Australian champion.
