So whos TT is the best. VDB, Vino, Wiggins or Evans.

Wiggins easily.

Baring some mechanical or something else unexpected Wiggins should be in yellow tomorow, though Martin should win the stage.

Wiggins. For sure. He's in pretty good shape as well.

Wiggins put in 30s on Cancellara a week ago, and it looks like he has kept his form well. I think Wiggins in yellow after tomorrow.

Im not sure about martin. yes he is the favorite but his form is terrible.

 

[dlwssonic]

Tomorrow will be evans test on his new TT position hope he does good.

Im not sure about martin. yes he is the favorite but his form is terrible.

he came off altitude training, I expect he just lacks racing legs. Tomorrow is his sort of thing, he should win easy.

Wiggo should cream the favorites. Evans next best and vino and vdb not too far behind. Maybe Braj can do a good ride also--how far back is he?

brajkovic is 26 seconds back. Could go up the rankings a lot. I hope evans does a good TT like the one he did in romandie.

Great stage. Great win from Degenkolb. Smart riding from Wiggins and Vino going for it in the finish to gain 6 seconds on the rest of the GC lot, only 14 riders had the same time as Degenkolb.

Agree with everyone Wiggins to be in yellow after the TT although Vino went very well in the prologue so we'll see

 

[theyoungest]

yeah but a few seconds compared to a minute is not so bad.

Yeah, I looked at the result and I don't really know what the panic was about... he lost 6 seconds

yeah but different riders respond different, don't be so thick.

It would be surprising if Martin didn't win tomorrow imo.

Regarding Evans he was midway in the group who lost 6 seconds. The guys duking it out of the win would have caused a little gap (a few metres maybe) where the 6+ was rewarded. No big deal, he was never gonna lose much time in that position, not worth risk or the effort I suspect.

Weren't full results yet apparently

171. MARTIN Tony

WHOOPS.

156. URAN Rigoberto

damn morabito lost time again. His form has been bad. Will get to know more in the mountians and TT. was much better at romandie, trentino and california. Dont know why he is not at switzerland.

 

[theyoungest]

sorry im a great fan of evans.

You don't say

 

[maltiv]

Garmin-Cervelo also needs some attention today. They started the split...but achieved nothing else than a top 50 on the stage, and their GC leader even lost more time.

He's been totally crappy so far this Dauphiné. Unless he's just taking it easy for the time trial(which is possible) I don't see him win.

Sometimes you don't need excuses. Sometimes you just suck. That simple.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

But i believe he will lose time in the high mountains

maybe.
But will evans, vino + vdb really push it?

they all (or at least think they do) have bigger fish to fry in a few weeks time.
