Marius Dahl fell through during the World Time Trial. The regular member of Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale U19 was physically weakened when he faced the Swiss clock in Zurich on Monday morning. “I felt really bad during the whole race. I got sick during the European Championship and I haven’t really recovered from it yethe specified to DirectVelo when he gets off his bike. I was hoping to be better than that but I really wasn’t having a good day, I had to pull myself together to limit the damage until the line but it wasn’t a piece of cake”This situation does not discourage the Norwegian for the road race this Thursday. “Even if things weren’t going too well on this time trial, I still dare to hope that things will be better by then”.
A BIG PROGRESSION
More generally, the former cross-country skiing specialist (read here) – recently bronze medalist in the mixed relay at the European Championship – says “delighted” of his year with the French structure. “I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress compared to last year. I gained confidence from the first races of the season, it did me good. I often had good legs. It was a great year.”rejoices the one who had crushed the Three Days of Axel by taking three stages and the general classification. “I worked a lot on the time trial thanks to the team’s very good equipment. It was one of the priorities of the year. I still need to discover myself but clearly, I like one-day races, especially the Classics. Stage races with a time trial are also interesting for me. It’s on the passes that I have more trouble.”On paper, the Zurich World Cup circuit could suit him, provided he has regained his health.
