Marlen Reuser and Remco Evenepoel are main candidates for ITT (Elite) but with Tadej out there's now an oportunity to some other riders. Not many, because 270 km with that EG it's a hard WC.

Let's enjoy all week long!

The WC is one of the races I unfortunately can't see as the rights are owned by TV2 in Denmark and I don't have an account with them. Shame.

    Even the main race (next Sunday) is not broadcasted unencrypted? (In France there is a law saying that major sports events must be so, and a decree lists said 'major events'. Funnily, Paris-Roubaix is part of the list, but not the WC.)

    Traditionally, Denmark had two state-funded TV stations; DR and TV2. Now, about a decade ago TV2 became a paid channel, but in the minds of most politicians it's still a "national channel" because many people have cable-TV and it's included there. They also get some state funding, I think.

    But in reality it's just a paid TV channel, no different from any other paid service.
