Switzerland\u2019s Marlen Reusser and 19-year-old Josh Tarling of Great Britain dominated their respective 2023 European time trial championship races on a windy course in the Dutch town of Emmen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Wednesday\u2019s Elite Women\u2019s ITT,<\/a> Reusser lived up to her reputation as the best female time trial rider in the world with an impressive display of power riding. In winning her third European time trial championship in succession, the 32-year-old Swiss rider covered the flat and mostly straight 28.6 km course in 35\u201d 53\u2019, an average speed of 48.3 kph. And best of all, she did it on her birthday. \u201cIt\u2019s really special to win it a third time,\u201d she told Eurosport. \u201cAnd today is my birthday, so it is really a special day.\u201d Asked how she liked riding on the uncomplicated course, she said, \u201cIt was nice, but I prefer a more interesting [course].\u201d<\/p>\n

The SD Worx rider is having an excellent year, having won the Tour de France ITT and the Tour de Suisse GC and ITT earlier in the season. Reusser beat the second-place finisher, Anna Henderson of Great Britain, by a whopping 43 seconds, the equivalent of a trouncing on such a short course. Lotte Kopecky,<\/a> the reigning world road race champion, finished fifth, 49 seconds adrift.<\/p>\n

Later on the same day, and riding on the same roads, Tarling matched Reusser\u2019s performance in the men\u2019s ITT, racing the 29.8 km course in 31\u201d 30\u2019, 42 seconds ahead of defending champion Stefan Bissiger of Switzerland. The Belgian all-rounder Wout van Aert finished 1 second farther back in third. The winner\u2019s average speed was 56.76 kph. In August, Tarling placed third in the UCI World Championship ITT, behind Filippo Ganna and Remco Evenepoel, and earlier in the year, he became the youngest-ever rider to win the British national time trial championship.<\/p>\n

One of the big pre-race favourites, Stefan K\u00fcng of Switzerland, crashed late in the race when he lost concentration and rode into a side barrier. He managed to get back on his bike and finish the race, his face and arms covered with blood, in 11th place. \u201cIt was hard,\u201d Tarling said after his victory. \u201cI felt weaker today than I did in the Worlds. And the wind was really hard. Originally, it was a lot of over and under with the crosswind, but it changed to a more steady crosswind both ways and no headwind or tailwind. It was just about holding a high power all day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The young neo-pro rides for the Ineos Grenadiers team and would appear to have an interesting future, at least as a time trial specialist. After his impressive showing in the world championships, Ineos teammate and fellow Welshman Geraint Thomas said, \u201cHe\u2019s a big boy. He\u2019s got power and this is his forte. It\u2019s unbelievable to see him riding so well so early in his career and he\u2019s got a bright future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third-place finish will have been a disappointment for van Aert who fell ill after winning the Tour of Britain earlier in September. \u201cI don’t think a better result was possible today,\u201d he said. \u201cI started the way I wanted to. The first 20 kilometres went well, but then I lacked the power to fight for more. I am usually strong in the last part of a time trial but I was completely spent today. It’s a shame.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
