2011 Vuelta a Espana Stage 10: Salamanca ITT, 47km (28/9)

[Zinoviev Letter]

His DS said yesterday on french Eurosport that R.T. would ride calmly today since he has no ambition whatsoever for the CG...

Just as well, given that he's more than an hour off the lead. He's dead right to dawdle around the course today and conserve energy. He's certainly aggressive enough to win a stage, but he needs to time his moves better.

Monster performance by Martin. Smashed it.

Let's see if Wiggins can get close. I hope not, because that would mean that Wiggins gains a lot of time on his competitors and I want Mollema to win the Vuelta ofcourse

Martin 1.42 over Cancellara at the Tour de France, 1.27 here, surely must be considered the best now.

Very good call.

Martin way in front of Cancellara. I don't think Wiggins will best him but will be interesting as to where he slots in.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Nice from Talansky. 2nd, 37 seconds down at first check.

 

[theyoungest]

Talansky 2nd time at 1st intermediate, 37 s down on Martin.

Igor off in 10 minutes.

This should be funny.

 

[Poursuivant]

I go for Wiggins at + 37'. Which would be a superb result.

Talansky 2nd at first check point

 

[Ferminal]

Good stuff Talansky, hope he can hold it.

Wow Boonen +10'49". Who is going to beat him for last place?

Does anyone know what the time limit is today? Does he risk being eliminated?

Astonishing performance by Martin! Incredible.

Not until he wins the Worlds imo.

You mean Nuyens and even Devolder were faster?

 

[koolkinks]

I go for Wiggins at + 37'. Which would be a superb result.

Even that at the first time check would be very good as well.

Where are you getting the updates? Main site is pathetic.

Click the British flag in the top right corner... it's the exact same site layout as letour.fr

Didn't realise he rode the Vuelta till now

Didn't realise he rode the Vuelta till now

He even attacked in that stage Sagan won...

True, true.

it's set at 35%, he could have even gone ~10 minutes slower and would still be in the race

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Didn't realise he rode the Vuelta till now

He attacked in a hilly stage earlier this Vuelta...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

You mean Nuyens and even Devolder were faster?

Of course Devolder was faster. Second half was downhill, Devolder didn't even have to pedal.

 

[roundabout]

35% is a bit generous. There's nothing wrong with the good old 25% limit.

It must of been an eye opener for Taylor Phinney getting dropped for 1.33,
Tony Martin is something else though.
