2012 Giro d'Italia, May 9th, stage 4: Verona → Verona, 33.2 Kms TTT

[Ney the Viking]

It wasn't on the live feed, but BMC is 11 seconds behind Garmin in 5th at the first time check

Erm yes it was ...

 

[sucotash]

Bobridge looks awful.

Phinney in troubles on the hill

 

[Bumeington]

Why does everyone love the base bars so much?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Phinney in major difficulties

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Navardauskas in pink?

Hopefully not, I have never heard of him.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Boobridge still track riding.
Phinney not comfy.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why is Bobridge struggling off the back?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Hopefully not, I have never heard of him.

Uhm, so what?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Astana does a nice TT.

 

[meat puppet]

Did Rasmussen take insane pulls during the first part? Cannot think of any other reason for him getting dropped that way. Unless they were really drilling on the hill.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Phinney might keep the jersey after all.....

or not, struggling uphill there

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Hopefully not, I have never heard of him.

Shame on you. He's a beast.

 

[Kazistuta]

Pitty for Alex -- but he really can't climb with Guardini...

Interesting time trial deficiencies between Basso & JRod.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Astana was at +4 secnds in the 2nd part. They lost 13 (!) seconds in the final part. Saxo Bank was much further back and is now equal time

Bad last part by Astana

 

[Gloin22]

Hopefully not, I have never heard of him.

He worked his socks off at the front in most stages at Tour in 2011 and was one of the most impressive riders as well ? He was 6th in the Giro prolgoue ?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Phinney has issues. Bummer. He looks to be favoring that leg.

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Kreuziger inherited Astana's Giro tradition in TTT

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kreuziger profits.
Phinney the carriage, not the train.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Uhm, so what?

I think it would devalue the race a bit to have a nobody leading.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Absolutely gutted about Alex.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kreuziger profits.
Phinney the carriage, not the train.

like i said on the last page, Astana did a bad final part though. They lost a lot of time compared to earlier parts.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Absolutely gutted about Alex.

Same here, very very odd and dissapointing

 

[Gloin22]

like i said on the last page, Astana did a bad final part though. They lost a lot of time compared to earlier parts.

Still he benefits on most other GC contenders

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

OPQS also made up 8 seconds to Astana in the final aprt

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Greenedge not setting the course on fire.
