ouch really bad by the schlecks!

 

[Ferminal]

Why are times so much faster then last year. i thought it was the same rout?

They aren't?

Plus this is 500m shorter.

 

[dlwssonic]

how did bookwalter do does anyone know.

It was dry today, not last year

Well Cancellara had 10:21 last year.
But the 500m explain it of course.

Hold yer horses - the drizzle makes the road slippery at best, as all the pollen/dust gets wet and forms a slippery "coat".
You can easily see that everyone of the late starters got affected, Velits lost 19 Seconds in the descent for example.
Plus, Frank is not a good TT or Prologue rider. We know that. Pointing this out is like laughing at Boonen once they hit the mountains. Joke's getting old.

Soler top20, now we've seen everything.

We can only hope that this is a sign of him finally getting things together for a repeat of 2007.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Hehe, told you he sucked tho

He has a lot of power, but his style on the TT bike make him lose a lot of time. He'll improve, that I'm sure.

this prologue has nothing to do with itt style

 

[dlwssonic]

so whats the top10

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Soler top20, now we've seen everything.

We can only hope that this is a sign of him finally getting things together for a repeat of 2007.

he also did top ten 20 last year in dauphinee prologue, when he wants his itt is quite good. only problem is him staying upright.

 

[El Pistolero]

this prologue has nothing to do with itt style

Lol, you haven't seen Stybar riding a prologue then. He time trials like Boonen sprints.

 

[Moondance]

he clearly softpedalled to not make a total fool out of the competition

TGBM is indeed the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

 

[El Pistolero]

So, is this prologue done?

 

[jens_attacks]

no surprise here:

61 Danilo DI LUCA Katusha Team 0:00:41
62 Frank SCHLECK Team Leopard-Trek 0:00:41

Softpedalled Tony Martin style to go all Kruijswijk at the Tour.

clearly TGBM could have stormed for the win and beat canc by 20 seconds. But I heard he is good friends with canc and wanted to give him the win and made it sure that he didnt win. I heard he stopped at the top of the mountain and waited for 1 minute to allow the others to do better.

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

Looks like all the late starters lost something around 10-15 seconds on the descent, regardless of TT or prologue ability.

 

[dlwssonic]

thanks guy. Something must have gone wrong with bookwalter im clearly very dissapointed

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Danielson in the top 10, good for him.
