His time was 13 minutes and 39 seconds, with an average speed as high as 54.9 km/h.
"Jesus, as expected of the defending champion from the last World Championships ITT. Remco's performance is just too stunning.
He's successfully beaten Huang Chong's time by one second!!!
From the looks of it, it's going to be difficult for Huang Chong to win the championship!"
"Remco is a rider who seems born for time trials. He's the kind of rider who can sweep the championships in every event: the Tour de France flat-road ITT, the Paris Olympic Games ITT, and the World Championships ITT.
But the second time check is the most crucial part. After all, the riders have to get through a long climb to reach the summit!"
While cycling fans across the globe were marveling at Evenepoel beating Huang Chong's time, the fans in China were, of course, feeling a bit bitter.
But in the end, deep down, it wasn't a result they couldn't accept.
Evenepoel was indeed, as Jimmy had said, born for time trials.
