World Championships: Cummings and Dowsett miss the top-ten
Heat not a factor for British duo in time trial
British duo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Steve Cummings and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Dowsett started the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:elite men's 40km time trial at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2016 UCI Road World Championships in Doha with the ambition of making a mark but ultimately came up short. Dowsett finished in 12th place, 2:11 minutes down on winner Tony Martin of Germany, while Cummings was 25th at 2🐲:48 minutes.
Much has been made of the heat in Doha but with the duo both wearing camelbak's during the race to help with hydration, Dowsett ex🤪plained there was no fault with his preparation and performed to the best of his abilities on the day.
"It was warm, as expected," Dowsett said. "It was alright for m🥀e. I think I managed myself well and I'm not sure I could have done a lot more."
The🏅 race was Dow💖sett's fifth since making his elite Worlds debut in 2012 when he finished in eighth place with Martin also winning the rainbow jersey. The 28-year-old's 12th place in Doha was his best result since that debut.
Assessing his race, Cummings explained that "I th🔯ink on the day what I had was OK, it wasn't super," he said. The 35-year-old was un⭕able to improve upon his 14th place from the 2015 Worlds but matched his 25th place from his Worlds ITT debut from 2008.
"I have been up and down in training in the last few weeks, so it is difficult to judge but on the day I got out everything I had. Like I said, it wasn't a super day. You can't expect a lot if you don't have a super day here a🧜t the worlds," he added of his performance.
Like Dowsett, Cummings added that he was prepared for the hot weather and the conditions﷽ on the course were no d🎐ifferent for him compared to the other 66 starters.

"The heat is a limiting factor but I have been here long enough to adapt as well as I could. It's difficult th🌺en because you l🎶ose your threshold," he said.
"What you can produce at 20-25 degrees is diffꦡerent to what you produce at 30-35 degrees and you don't have too much time to go out and test. It's a nice challenge, the same for everyone."
Cummings and Dowsett wil🐲l next line up in the road race Sunday as Great Britain aim to claim the rainbow jersey with 2011 champion Mark Cavendish.
