Andrew Crimmins fastest at the first two splits and 18th (+13 secs) at the finish. Assuming he must have had a crash, hopefully he'll stay on the bike and take the win tomorrow.

Another great historic bike article, thanks Richard. Love the dropper post.

That is just pure porn, I'd love to see more of these historical pieces please!!!

Taking nothing away from Gwin's ride (it was incredible and absolutely awesome to watch) these two 'quick facts' actually cancel each other out. "- According to the speed trap, looks like everyone was 4-5 km/h slower through it than in practice. Turns out the wind was right in riders faces, which makes Gwin's run even more incredible. - When Troy Brosnan beat Bruni by over 2 seconds the wind had almost competely dropped and the temperature rose. Anyone before that may have been riding in worse conditions." The wind "was right in (the) riders faces, which makes Gwin's run even more incredible" yet anyone riding after Troy was in better conditions as the "wind had almost completely dropped"
