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

[Jamsque]

Zubeldia and Brajkovic Shack Attack incoming.

 

[goggalor]

itv idiots think it's a 10% cut

80+ riders eliminated so far.

 

[roundabout]

Talansky is young. Could have just overcooked it a bit.

People do seem to lose more time in the last 17 km than in the first 30.

I like how some foreign TV still shows the cycling in a small box when the adverts come on.

 

[Jamsque]

Anton demonstrating once again (as if we needed more proof) that Orange Men Can't Timetrial.

 

[hrotha]

Poels can TT?

 

[Anonymous]

interesting comments from dowsett on the sky tt helmet today, saying that the normal stretched ones could lose time with the crosswinds.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Poels can TT?

He was 9th in the final TT of Suisse 2010.

Myeah, I think I remember EBH was like 20 seconds ahead of Martin in the first time split for the TdF ITT.

 

[l.Harm]

Fuglsang... what's he doing there.

 

[Fetisoff]

Fulglslang with a mechanical? Or maybe just couldn't find a gear

 

[Ferminal]

Macho Man +51" after 30km.

He is not a GC factor anymore so you have to take some of that into account. Curious how he compares with Nieve.

 

[Thomsena]

Chain off and back on again for Fuglsang.

 

[hrotha]

He was 9th in the final TT of Suisse 2010.

Well, I didn't remember that. Scarponi was 1 second faster though, so as you said some posts ago it's probably more the change in wind conditions than anything else.

 

[goggalor]

Machado lost a decent chunk of time there.

 

[Parrulo]

Macho Man +51" after 30km.

not a bad time for macho. tho he starts to falter a bit after roughly 30k in a time trial.

 

[Ferminal]

Sanchez drops almost a minute in the last section, continuing the trend.

 

[Maxiton]

With work and other obligations, I'm afraid I've lost the thread of this Vuelta. Looks like Lady Luck is finally not tripping up Wiggins. I hope for the sake of the Sky fans he does well here.

Zubeldia and Brajkovic Shack Attack incoming.

I have the impression that no RS rider can't do wrong in ITT...so Zubeldia in red tonight?

 

[roundabout]

Sanchez lost 55 seconds in the last 17km to Martin.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

See!

I told you, final part = less wind = they all lose a lot of extra time to Martin.

 

[Jamsque]

Wiggo coming up to the first inter soon.

Kessiakoff, the invisible GC contender, starting now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Froome +22, excellent first split

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

froome 4th fastest!
