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

[Dekker_Tifosi]

According to Renaat Schotte, we have a fusion between Cunego and Pozzovivo called Damiano Pozzovivo

 

[Flamin]

Androni 10'29" after 9km

 

[sucotash]

Gadret will lose a huge ammount of time., already over 30 seconds behind Lampre on the first check

 

[Pippo_San]

Lol @ little Pozzovivo

 

[vcampbell]

Pozzovivo just like Cancellara on the TT bike.

Does anyone have a link to the split times? Gazetta's link didn't work for me

I'm following along on:

[sucotash]

Lampre not that bad I think, but we will see later how good their time is

thanks Catwhoorg

Gaps will be minimal among the Top teams. Not a course to create gaps. That's obvious already

quite obvious when the ttt is only 33km
The higher the speed the lower the gaps are anyway. A more hilly or very long ITT would have made big differences. This won't

 

[Random Direction]

these aren't the top teams.

EUS big time loss at the 2nd time check - Nieve is going to have several minutes to catch up

 

[sucotash]

Good time Katusha.

The bad TT teams will lose + 3 minutes, so the gaps will be significant

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Androni is going to do bad this way. Katusha already 30 seconds faster than them at poin 1. Day to forget for Rujano

 

[Ney the Viking]

Ah yes the 12" already between Katusha and Lampre at 9km shows that no big gaps are possible *rolleyes*

Not sure about that. You're right in that the top teams will be tighter, but already, the bottom of the barrel teams are 45 seconds apart 1/3 of the way through

 

[DominicDecoco]

9 riders in goal. Usually a sign of it's not going fast enough.

 

[Bumeington]

Harmon's such an idiot. Predicting 32-33 mins when AG2R's average speed was shown as 50km/h so far

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I think the damage will be significant for Gadret/Dupont, Nieve and Rujano

 

[sucotash]

Nine Ag2R riders almost together.


I do not agree that the gaps will be small. It will be 3+ minutes between the first and the last

 

[Mellow Velo]

Team Gadret, The Carrots and the Androids are going to lose eons.

 

[Flamin]

Euskaltel, absolutely horrible.

 

[JRanton]

Horrible time by the carrots.

 

[vcampbell]

Wow Carrots, just wow, that was terrible.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Here comes the fail train

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

First shock of the day, AG2R aren't going to finish last.
