“Every time you have to start from zero,” says Remco Evenepoel, looking to add this to his time trial rainbow jersey. And Olympic gold. “All types of riders can win it.”

“Today’s going to be a hard and long race,” says Pogacar, who has been on a recce of the course with Matt Stephens. “It’s good to have him as a teammate,” Pog says of Primoz Roglic, fellow Slovenian. Between them, they won all three Grand Tours. It seems he plans to attack on the steepest section and that comes after the finish line of the circuit. How many laps out will he go for it?

Preamble

Zurich has hosted an event that should not be remembered for the winner of its races. Instead, all thoughts might concentrate on the sad loss of Swiss rider Muriel Furrer, 18, who died after the women’s junior race. One of the cruelties of sport is that the show always goes on, though perhaps the departed want it that way, too. After Saturday’s thriller, with Lotte Kopecky winning the women’s race, and Friday, and when Niklas Behrens won the under-23 men’s road race, the course is familiar, though the weather might be better than much of the week. The contenders? Tadej Pogacar leads the list, of course. Can Remco Evenepoel, the Olympic Gold, put the pressure down? There’s Matthieu van der Poel, the defending champion. Let’s see, even if who actually wins cannot compete with the loss already suffered.
