 |
22 year-old Jack Bobridge (Australia) posted the fifth fastest time + 2:13. He would have likely been the U23 champ if raced on Monday instead. | share this photo |

This was as close as Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland), the last starter, got to Tony Martin on the race course... | share this photo |

 |
