Start of descent.... 

Almost 99% on aero bikes and wheels... even the route has many climbs.

Belgians are not known to be good climbers.

Van Aert Wout strength specs says his top two strengths are good at 1 day race and sprint.. 

So Olympics is one day race... 

Wait for last 500m if he is in top 5.

Most eyes are on Slovenia, Belgium, Espana...mostly Europeans...hope to see an upset though 😁

Most of these cyclists are top Pro now.

Look out for South American.

Very hard to find Asian and African.

The most successful Asian cyclist is Chen Ji from China.

He had infamous Black Jersey from Tour de France.

If Pogacar can't put a gap, it is very hard for to Wout Van Aert.

No breathtaking landscape but breathtaking attacks in this race under gruesome heat...

Singapore used to have Team OCBC Cycle that competes in UCI Conti Asia.

They don't train on the island.  Too flat.

This is the best our local can achieve:

The leaders should be maintaining 50+km/hr speed now.
