Maître Jacques, probably the greatest TT specialist in cycling history, won it nine times. Albert Bouvet often told people that him and Eddy Merckx won all the calendar’s classics ... he won Paris-Tours in 1956, the only classique where Eddy never succeeded! (source)

Time-trial Fascination

Those of you with non-cycling interested friends or family know how it feels when you try and talk a race to them and they give you the ‘what’ face and look disinterested. Explaining why you find watching men or women ride bikes competitively is too much for some of my friends.

Try explaining what you find so brilliant about a time-trial! Watching one or two men or women at a time go out onto a course on their own to try and beat the clock. It likely evokes the same reaction that my face makes if somebody tries to get me to watch Formula One so I get it.

So what is it about a time-trial? They’ve long fascinated me. They’re one of cycling’s art forms. Often set to a stunning backdrop, it’s the shape of the riders, the desire for them to achieve the ultimate aero-tuck. The attention to detail that leaves nothing to chance from the bike to the helmet to the skimpy skin-suits. Time-trials have long provided me with some of my favourite cycling images. Stage 18 of the Tour de France not only gave us a time-trial in week 3, but a mountainous one nonetheless, producing more great imagery.

There’s some awe inspiring about watching somebody go out and push themselves to the edge of the limit entirely alone and often with norhing more than a team car following and an in-ear piece trying to keep them motivated. For some riders it’s their domain. For guys like Tom Dumoulin and Tony Martin, it’s their comfort zone. Chris Froome made today’s mountain terrain look effortless with an effort that didn’t just blow the competition away, it annihilated them.

Much as they can be cited as being boring, they’re often not. There’s team time-trials if the thought of watching one singular rider doesn’t appeal. The entertainment they can provide is often second to none. I think we all remember the TTT in the Tour a few years ago when half of the Bouygues Telecom team ended up in a field! 

It’s the way that the leading rider has to sit in a hot-seat, often only to be ousted after moments, or sometimes an agonising hour while they watch their rivals try to beat their time. It’s a part of the sport that I found bizarre at the beginning and now, I’m no longer confused, but still fascinated.
