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

[kjetilraknerud]

Who's that Adriano guy??

Are you talking about the former U23 TT World Champion?

 

[Bavarianrider]

Wait what?

You don't know Adriano Malori???
Check his (mainly) ITT results

Ah ok thanks!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

This is going to be absolute carnage judging by the intermediate times so far.

On another note, it appears that Tyler Farrar has taken a copy of a newspaper, a coffee and a croissant around the course with him. He's on course to finish ten minutes behind Tony Martin.

hes not german like duhhhhh who knew about him.

 

[spalco]

There's also Sivtsov riding, despite not being scheduled to start for the next 90 minutes. Oh well.

He's even passed the second timecheck already, tremendous performance for a stationary bike.

Yeah, the contrast with his remark about a 2003 TdF time trial is quite striking...

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Nice gaps at the finish, could do some real damage to the lesser TT riders in the tour.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Adriano crushes the best time 57:31
Should be top 10 no doubt

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Which would not be a suprise at all to most of us

 

[Connor Pass]

It's his long lost twin brother

I've actually figured out what this is.

He's riding in number 26 but the times being posted as his are those of the 26th rider to start today - Haimar Zubeldia.

 

[jens_attacks]

why are they going so slowly?jan ullrich could do that in 50 minutes pronto no problem...there might be some headwind.already pretty massive gaps

smoke them tony!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

no more itnermediate times coming in from part 1??

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Long time no updates on the 2nd checkpoint.

Still Sivtsov as last time while he isn't even on course yet. Must say the live timing is a mess.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Chrono 2 seems to be ****ed too.
Tony should be there in a few minutes

 

[Flamin]

Uh, Malori lost 13s on Westra in the last 15k...

 

[just some guy]

Long time no updates on the 2nd checkpoint.

Still Sivtsov as last time while he isn't even on course yet. Must say the live timing is a mess.

I was thinking my computer had frozen - Martin should be past already

He's called Malori. Adriano is his given name.

 

[dlwssonic]

I was thinking my computer had frozen - Martin should be past already

maybe he had a mechanical

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Uh, Malori lost 13s on Westra in the last 15k...

Not uncommon for a young guy like Malori to lose time on a diesel like Westra.
Westra doesn't seem to be in much of a shape tho. He did win the Belgium prologue, but was **** in all other stages.
Here he seems to confirm that form.

 

[The Hitch]

When was the last time EBH did a good ITT ? - Bayern-Rundfahrt but before that?

When was the last time EBH did a good time trial over 35km + ?

Cause I can´t remember yet people seem to pick him top 5. 15 - 20 I can see

THis tt last year (not the same tt obv but also long one).

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Daniel Martin 1:29 slower than Tony on the first 15km. Not good but not super bad either.
I wonder how much Rodriguez will lose today

Boom to start at 14:32 CET (in 12 minutes)

 

[dlwssonic]

lol martin. sacrificing gc for the stage win.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony smokes them 39:29. Nice

 

[Connor Pass]

It looks like everything apart from point 2 is working now.

Surprsingly good time by Dan Martin at 1st checkpoint, inspired by his namesake.
