On the final straight, Dennis was pointed repeatedly at his own head, as if to say – “I am mentally strong enough to be world champion again.”
After he walked out on his team at the Tour de France, there was a lot of speculation about if he would continue in the sport, and if he was suffering some kind of mental crisis. It’s clear that he disappeared from view in order to train, with everything being focused on this day, and the defence of his time trial title. He delivered, there is no question about that, and emulated the dominant ride by Chloe Dygart Owen in yesterday’s womens’ individual time trial.
