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

[Dekker_Tifosi]

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

You're acting like a totally ignorant clown again.

That way I can say the same things about Tony Martins climbing.
Any clown can do well on weak courses like Paris Nice and Tour of Suisse.

etc...
See your own hypocrisy for once
Just be happy that Tony Martin is number one and stop belittling all other riders the entire time...

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Oh thanks! Then Wiggins should win this easily!

Preparing yourself for when Tony doesn't win ?

 

[El Pistolero]

Basso 6.16 down at finish

Cross+Tour de France= Ivan Basso

Even Menchov did a good TT here last year at the Dauphiné. TTs don't lie, especially this one. I'll be rooting for him to fail now as it will be totally unbelievable if he managed to climb and TT with the best at the Tour now.

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)

I'm a bit worried that he's peaked too early. But as long as he takes it easy in a few stages here he will probably be fine.

No would not be a shame. Wiggins already hit his peak while Tony is just on the way up.
But in the Tour, Tony will be at least 1:30 faster then Wiggins. You can take this to the bank!

Tony Martin is nothing special in the climbing. Just as Boom is nothing special in the longer TTs(40-50km+)

It's true.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's even raining on some parts of the course!!

Oh seems like Hagen rode at the perfect time and no the waether is getting worse and worse

says who ?

 

[Lanark]

Weather is looking terrible on some parts of the course, if it stays like this, nobody will get close to Martin (if they could otherwise...)

 

[just some guy]

wet roads...

 

[spalco]

That descent looks scary in the rain.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The downhill of the 2nd climb is wet.

This will cause major time differences with the guys that are riding now.

 

[maltiv]

How do we know it wasn't wet when Tony Martin was riding?

 

[Flamin]

Boom clearly freewheeling

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

let's hope the sun breaks through but doubtful

 

[Bavarianrider]

says who ?

Common sense

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

As even Bavarianrider could clearly see. Boom wasn't going all out. Soft-pedalling to the finish

edit: first eurosport brake lol

Thats a dumb thing to say. Of course Martin will be in a better state of fitness to TT than Wiggins. Wiggins will be trying to save face in the GC while Martin sits about in the wagon every other stage waiting for the TT. One rider will be fresher than the other that is certain.

Maybe he was exhausted?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Weather on the descents look very wet and slippery.
What's this with Eurosport International and Asia being live this past hour?
A pity that never happens on the weekend climbs.

Gesink now on course for the any German clown to make fun of.

The Boss speaks:

Norwegian champion Edvald Boasson Hagen was satisfied with the time that put him provisionally on second position 43 seconds behind Tony Martin. "I rode a good time trial”, the rider from Team Sky told letour.fr. “It’s a good course. I enjoyed the tailwind in the first climb but the long downhill was wet and slippery for me, so I probably lost some time there compared to Tony Martin. It shows that what happened yesterday was just an accident. **** happens… I had a flat tyre at the wrong moment when there was a split in the bunch, but the most important is that Bradley Wiggins got back on. I’m here to help him. Today I wanted to ride at the max and I think the test is positive.”

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink already 1.19 behind

He doesn't even ride in the TT position. Pff
