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

[Jamsque]

Haimar letting down Johan, finishes 3:33 down.

I really don't believe Wiggins would screw up his pacing, looking at him towards the finish he almost looks like he's ill. White as a sheet at the end.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Mollema is going to lose 4 minutes to T. Martin at least. So 3 minutes to Froome. Hmm.

But let's face it.
Thats still good for a young dude like Bauke. No disappointment, and better to compare him to other riders riding for GC.

Now he is catching poor Purito soon.

 

[luckyboy]

Cmon Bauke catch him!

 

[Ferminal]

V. good by Cobo... Had never considered him a good TTer

Uncontested leader of Geox now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Mollema is catching Rodriguez

Froome is unexpected.

Not overly. Second in the nationals last year, decent time trials all year. Sky on the whole have done a lot of work on time trialling. Didnt expect him to beat brad though, but expected him to come in fairly close to him.

 

[royalpig180]

Cmon Bauke catch him!

Yeah he's almost there.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Froome in red.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Fuglsang at 1:37

How much was the difference between Fuglsang and Froome

 

[goggalor]

Froome in red then.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Mollema is catching Rodriguez

this is good actually. could very well motivate him.

 

[luckyboy]

Jakob +1'37"

 

[Mellow Velo]

Is Cobo going to turn out to be CQ best buy?

Jakob fades Froome in red.

 

[Moondance]

The Massively Overrated Fuglsang with an excellent time. Loses less than 20s on Wigans.

 

[JRanton]

Froome in red!

 

[Jamsque]

Here comes birdsong! A strong strong ride but not enough to re-take red. He is going to be very close to Wiggins on GC.

 

[Ferminal]

Nice, go Froome

 

[hrotha]

Rodriguez and Scarponi are done for gc. They know it and will just hunt for stages now. JvdB still has a slight chance and Mollema can't be forgotten.

Purito is not done at all. He was always going to lose this time in the ITT, and all things considered he didn't lose all that much yesterday. He just has it slightly worse than could be expected right now.

Also, I don't think most climbers are losing all that much. Tony Martin doesn't count, and Froome... who knows? If you discount that time, you find out they're not losing that much.

Also helmets.

Froome in Red, Fuglsang 2nd!

Froome on a good day, Bradly on a poor day. Is going to make for some interesting politics.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Purito has the saddle sticked in his **** to keep the tension.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hmm so Mollema only loses +28 to Nibali so far.

But I think Wiggins and Froome are now the people to beat.
Fuglsang will drop somewhere on the mountains anyway

 

[Mellow Velo]

Bulky Mollema finally gets an eyeball full of Purito.
