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

[Mellow Velo]

Froome goes 2nd! 59" back.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Froome +0.59

I think Mollema will lose 3/3.30 to Wiggins. Nibali 1/2 minutes

 

[goggalor]

Froome loses another 30 seconds. That's not bad but not super either.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

56:56 for Wiggo then, or Froome gets the jersey.

 

[Ferminal]

Awesome time Froome, Wiggins might struggle with that.

 

[Parrulo]

gotta hold hope man

Scarponi loses almost 5minutes.

ya you are probably right lol

he will climb a lot of places today(already passed scarponi who was 1:30 ahead of him) so that may give him some morale

top 20 place wouldn't be bad i guess

Just looked in and what can I say but "wow" seeing Tony Martin's time. He simply obliterated this course. 1:27 on Cancellara and everyone else so far further back. Damn. Looking at some of the other contenders coming in now... this time trial is decisive. Some GC contenders are getting blown away.

Good. You shouldn't be able to win a grand tour without being a strong time trialist.

Froome loses another 30 seconds. That's not bad but not super either.

i'd argue that it is pretty super.

 

[Jamsque]

So Froome lost 30 seconds to Martin over that last stretch.

 

[Gloin22]

Froome faster than Cancellara

 

[roundabout]

6 minutes for Nieve.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Nieve

 

[Jamsque]

Nieve six minutes down oh dear...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Mike Snow melts. 6 minutes down the pan.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Mike snow loses 5 minutes to the Brits. Game over Euskatel, stage hunting time.

 

[luckyboy]

Where has Froome suddenly got this climbing and TT skill from? He's a decent time trialist, but come on.

 

[Moondance]

Wow... Bad for Nieve even by Basque-TTing standards.

 

[maltiv]

Wow whats up with Froome? Holy ****.

 

[goggalor]

i'd argue that it is pretty super.

Okay, but losing 6 seconds on the second third will have to be super super then.

 

[ingsve]

Well, it looks like Sky has their next rider to go for that British Tour win after Wiggins is passed his prime.

 

[Jonny7c]

fuglsang is still a possibility for red then not just wiggins/froome?

 

[auscyclefan94]

The Spanish are having a shocking Vuelta....really.

 

[Escarabajo]

So what's the deal, is Froome going to battle out the Vuelta against Wiggins?

 

[Jamsque]

Where has Froome suddenly got this climbing and TT skill from? He's a decent time trialist, but come on.

Froome has always been touted as a climbing talent, I'm more surprised at his TT improvement.

 

[luckyboy]

VDB pretty bad at chekc 2
