2012 Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 7:San Benedetto del Tronto: 9,3 km ITT

[Beech Mtn]

Had to step out for a minute. Came back just in time to see the great time-trialling best that is Purito.

please, comments for me intermediate time are welcome too

Don't let it be said the Dutchies don't set their goals high

White in the Tirreno is the equivalent of a win in any classic though.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Di Luca with a horrible time. Loses his position to Poels

 

[The Hitch]

incredible because Meyer had a HUGE lead thanks to the TTT.

To quote you the race would have been raced differently if he had not gotten that lead in the ttt, so meyer maybe allowed poels to get time.

 

[Vitapen]

Anybody knows what was Pozzovivo's time?

 

[skidmark]

the road Nibali's on looks terrible.

 

[Parrulo]

there goes nibali he will fly, and in case some here don't notice it, i am using an hyperbole again as a bike rider can't fly

 

[wirral]

Nibali in a big gear. Surprisingly few crowds; couples strolling along.

Someone has a grudge

 

[El Pistolero]

YES!!!

Wout Poels wins the white jersey in the Tirreno Adriatico

incredible because Meyer had a HUGE lead thanks to the TTT.

And do you really believe Vacansoleil only discovered yesterday that Wouter Poels is eligible for the white jersey? Meyer was riding against an invisible enemy... Quite sad, another fluke for Italian race organisations.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nibs looking good

Ofcourse not, Meyer/Poels is not about overall race leader (they just race to hang on in the white jersey, they are not busy with race tactics) so it didn't change any of the race dynamics. Unlike the situation with Nibali/Horner

I hope even you are intelligent enough to realize that

 

[BillytheKid]

Horner 42. What? he's 40 and 41 in October. Yesterday he was 39 though.

 

[Parrulo]

the sharck will eat horner like if he was a baby seal

I can't believe that some people would be so ignorant as to think a bike rider would fly... shows no respect for the laws of physics.

 

[spalco]

Nibali is swerving around a lot, hope that doesn't mean he's uncomfortable or something.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Nope, metaphor.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali is rocking his upper body a lot. Is that his usual style?

Wasn't Hitch on your eternal ignore-list?

 

[cineteq]

Nibali seems to be in the zone!

 

[royalpig180]

Kreuziger looking really strong... better than Nibali IMO.

This was the best comment of the forum even if it may not turn out to be true.

 

[The Hitch]

Here comes the man.

horner is hardly a baby
