Marlene REUSSER. 10 and with honors. Olympic silver medalist in Tokyo in the time trial, her specialty. Two world titles in the relay, plus two silvers and an individual bronze. Three continental titles, a gold at the European Games in Minsk in 2019, now for the 34-year-old Swiss rider comes the world gold that was missing, which she pursued with resolute determination. More than deserved gold, obtained on an extremely demanding route, hard as few, pedaling the 31.2 km at over 43 kilometers per hour average. She crushes her rivals, downsizes them, rendering them vulnerable: she's a giant.

Anna VAN DER BREGGEN. 8. For the 35-year-old Dutch rider, a substantial silver. For an athlete who has won an infinite number of medals and who has conquered two world titles on the line and one in the time trial, this is still a heavyweight medal. Today she doesn't even touch the title, doesn't come close, loses by almost a minute, but for her this is a medal won, not lost.

Demi VOLLERING. 5. She is the true loser of the day, but in this season it's now a constant, not an exception. She loses clearly and almost loses the podium too. She starts well, in line with the best, then loses fluidity and frequency, also power. She loses.

Brodie CHAPMAN. 7. She's also 35 - compared to Vollering, she's a child - but makes an excellent showing. Demanding route for a rider who has won gold in the relay. Fourth place is already significant.

Katrine AALERUD. 6.5. The 30-year-old Norwegian has never obtained a world or European podium. She delivers a good performance: a top five is worth a passing grade.

Chloe DYGERT. 5.5. For the 28-year-old American, this route was too hard. Too demanding for someone with her characteristics. For someone who has won everything, both on the road and on the track, today she loses: it happens.

Monica TRINCA COLONEL. 6.5. More than honorable performance for the Valtellina rider who is growing exponentially, race after race, for a 26-year-old athlete who has been practicing high-level cycling for a year. Excellent prospect performance, in a more than challenging race. She deserved a top ten, comes close: 11th. Good. Very good.

Kasia NIEWADOMA. 5. She has experience and qualities, but in this time trial more than racing, she tests herself, or at least that's what it seems. A fourteenth place for an athlete with her build is too little.

Soraya PALADIN. 5. The 32-year-old from Treviso has class and talent, let's also say good time trial attitudes, today, however, she doesn't show them: she doesn't make her mark.
