2011 - Criterium du Dauphine - Stage 3: Grenoble 42.5 km ITT

[euanli]

EBH managed to put time into Martin in the last section. Good work.

Hagen actually making up time in the final part!
43 seconds.

Tony Maritn left something in the final part. That is clear now.

 

[Flamin]

Such a shame he dropped 5 minutes yesterday. If only someone helped him. But Fdjeux it's every man for himself.

What happened?

 

[Captain_Cavman]

EBH takes time off Martin on the descent. I wonder if that means conditions are less slippery.

Probably find out it's been bone dry all day.

 

[maltiv]

Impressing by EBH to gain time on Martin and pass DZ! Should end up 3rd, think Wiggins will pass him.

It's more like Hagen was flying the last 15km. He won 30 seconds on Zabriskie here

 

[just some guy]

For those that picked EBH top 5 who I questioned

you were correct (or more correct than me hope some of the GC boys go well but not looking good ).........

Well done

I'm not surprised. Luckily I had him in my top 5 at the prediction game

Martin, Zabriskie, Wiggins, Hagen and the other one I forgot.

 

[boomcie]

Woops, talk about shooting oneself in the foot. Epic fail from me

Moderate fail.

Apologies. Was a silly post from me.

Respect.

Did it rain?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boom has given up riding hard. Now 3 minutes behind, clearly not pushing anymore

tony martin didn't leave something, boasson hagen gained in final part. he also gained masively on zabriskie. zo is clear boasson hagen turned on his diesel on the latter part which suits the power rider well

 

[Sylvester]

I truly hope Geraint Thomas won't catch Samuel Sanchez. And if it happens, I hope it won't be televised.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Did it rain?

No only in the morning.

But the roads were most likely still a bit wet when Martin started. That's what you get for dropping minutes in the early stages ofcourse

 

[spalco]

Hagen

Epic ride by him.

Maybe the conditions are getting better.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Boom has given up riding hard. Now 3 minutes behind, clearly not pushing anymore

Maybe he's just not any better?
Has he ever shown something in a plus 40km TT ?

 

[Bavarianrider]

Oh thanks! Then Wiggins should win this easily!

 

[El Pistolero]

I hope so for my prediction game

World Champion U23 ITT tell you anything?
Dutch National Championships tell you anything (Professional)?
Also 15th at the World Championships Professioonal ITT in Mendrisio...
And 9th in the Vuelta ITT...

So, thinking he can't do better than outside top 20 is pretty ignorant

world champion u23, just like that malori guy you don't know

 

[Sylvester]

Maybe the conditions are getting better.

Well, Txurruka beating Ignatiev and only conceding seven seconds to Lars Boom at the first intermediate point would suggest the riders currently on the course are certainly not facing a sudden headwind.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Oh thanks! Then Wiggins should win this easily!

Don't think so.

It's not like the roads where super wet and in the end super dry. He'll have some advantage maybe (Wiggins), but not much.

Well U23 is not plus 40 km

Dutch national championchip ohh what a fierceful competition
15th in World championchips is nothing to boast with. Just look what tomato cans can get in the Top 20 there

 

[just some guy]

Basso 6.16 down at finish

 

[Richeypen]

EBH looking in great form for the Tour. Several stages he can target in the opening couple of weeks (horrible feeling he will be used as a sprinter though)
