2012 Giro d'Italia, May 5th, stage 1: Herning → Herning, 8.7 km ITT

[norwegian]

Wonder if Hushovd has trained at all this season. It's incredible that a guy of his talent can be beaten by the likes of his countryman Alexander Kristoff on a time trial...

He`s done, I think. Just collecting his wages.

 

[Trofinios]

Just under 10.10 in the last corner is needed to challenge Navardauskas

 

[Pantani_lives]

I don't think Navardauskas wins today.

Who can do better?

 

[Moviefan1203]

Who can do better?

Taylor Phinney.

 

[Trofinios]

Who can do better?

G-force, just watch.

 

[nvpacchi]

Kwiatoswski could challenge

 

[Rocksteady]

has the wind changed?

Looks like it. He actually needs to prove he's worth taking to the Tour this year. BMC can't have any washed up egos on the team if Evans is gonna repeat.

But he's always come good for the Tour in the past, and probably will this year as well.

It wasn't a dominating time, just a very good one; I see no reason to believe Rasmussen, Phinney and Larsson for example shouldn't be able to come close or beat it.

RAI not showing Rujano but kwiatkowski.
Strange choices. I understand kwiatkowski is more favorite for this stage. But not showing rujano at all?

 

[goggalor]

Rujano 27" down. Ouch.

 

[Trofinios]

WTF G, you just lost 2 seconds there!!!

Yes, I have wrote him off before. And he have surprised a couple of times. But now it seems he have hit the wall.

Watch out for Boaro!

More like 5.....

 

[nvpacchi]

Harmon didn't even try to hide his bias with Thomas's intermediate time

 

[Trofinios]

G-force is delivers, would have been 3-4 seconds without that corner miss.

 

[goggalor]

Saxo to win in Herning?

 

[classicomano]

Rujano +45.

 

[cineteq]

Cunego +41
Rujano +45

 

[goggalor]

Boaro will set best time by 3". You heard it here first.

Edit: Actually more like 7". Brilliant ride!

Come On! If it's Italian/Danish/Dutch/Etc. commentators bias is "charming".....

 

[Bavarianrider]

This is certainly one in the second part
