World Championships: Jr Men’s ITT
The first event of the day was the Junior Men’s 22 kilometer ITT and I was pumped! Two of the first 3 riders to start were Uzbek and I try to never miss an opportunity to cheer for my favorite doubly landlocked country. My plan was to see the last couple hundred meters of the … Continue reading
