Exactly. Going into Budapest, Jakob had run 3:27.14, Kerr had run 3:29.64 (only 2 races tbf, but two fast DLs). Time trials mean very little
Look at the shape Jakob was in before and after Budapest. Hell, look at his semi in Budapest. In that kind of shape no one is beating him in any type of race. The trick is arriving to the final in that form, which he was unable to do last year.
