Pushing It Home
Germany had a find reputation for producing strong riders against the clock. Maximillian Schachmann can add his name to the likes of three time World Time Trial Champion Tony Martin and former Hour Record Holder, Jens Voigt. Schachmann faced rising winds as the day progressed so he just didn't have the legs to unseat the Dane, but his ride was enough to claim silver at the line, and ultimately to claim it on the day.
