2012 Tirreno -Adriatico, Stage 1: San Vincenzo - Donoratico, 21.7km

[Beech Mtn]

Colgnago came in 52 seconds down on Garmin. I think it was the case of Saxo doing quite well

Please god let Saxo do something well this year . . . their luck needs to change.

 

[goggalor]

Yes, but given the Coldeportes time it may simply be that Saxo were better than expected. It's either that or Garmin underperformed and the Colombians absolutely sucked.

Could be. A 53.5 km/h average (Garmin) isn't slow.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Maybe he's simply given everything on the first half of the course. Although the commentators were discussing a problema tecnico.

It was a technical, some three-four minutes from the finish.

 

[Fetisoff]

Great jobs, ******bags. Totally missed the Katusha finish alltogether.
**** this, I'm off to watch P-N.
I'll just stop by this thread for updates, it's no less informative than the freaking stream


19:21 for Katusha, not bad. Like I said, they weren't gonna lose a minute to other contenders

 

[Ney the Viking]

Farnese Vini clocks in at 19.28

 

[Ney the Viking]

sky not beating garmin by the looks of it

 

[goggalor]

Looks like Sky copied Katusha's Norwegian champion kit.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Saxo isn't that bad. Last year they got 4th.

 

[Fetisoff]

Sky - FAIL

33 seconds to Garmin. If Garmin are the winners today, that's a decent result for Katusha. It's not impossible for Sky or RNT or someone else to come in another 10 or 15 seconds faster than Garmin though.

Sky clocks 1904

 

[LaFlorecita]

Sky 19.04.

Actually yes it is impossible for Sky.

Saxo's time is looking better with every finisher.

 

[kanari]

What on earth did Sky to to Edvald’s kit..?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

1. Garmin-Barracuda 18:58
2. Sky 19:04
3. Saxo Bank 19:19
4. Katusha 19:21
5. Farnese Vini 19:28
6. Colnago CSF Bardini 19:50

Sky came in slower.
RNT? We'll see, I just don't fancy Horner's chances in this race at all.

But with this effort, J-Rod might actually gain time on Scarponi, and be close to Nibbles

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lotto 19.26

[goggalor]

Garmin's time looks pretty good now actually.

 

[Beech Mtn]

They need to take the giant grey "on the phone, Michele Bartoli" box off the screen, and put up more time graphics. This is hard to follow

 

[Ney the Viking]

Am i the only one that is bothered by the Livestrong "bracelet" on the RNT shirtssleeves?

 

[LaFlorecita]

A-S 19.20.

 

[Fetisoff]

A&S - WTF???

Seriously??? 19:20????

 

[goggalor]

Oh dear. The Shack look a mess.

Ultimo kilometro though. Will be a decent time.

No.
