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

[Parrulo]

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

don't think so, he is pushing a really big gear

 

[spalco]

why should he improve his position? he will never need his itt anyway as he doesn't race for GC on 1 week races nor GT's

Having a strong TT would help in breakaways or long sprints too.

So this is Horners first ITT in 8 months?

 

[Beech Mtn]

Papy on the course now

 

[The Sheep]

Nibali smoking it

 

[Parrulo]

nibali just put 2 seconds on horner on that corner alone

go to a smaller gear nibs <_<

 

[spalco]

Are there any intermediate times?

 

[woodburn]

No split times?

 

[happytramp]

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

I agree. Hoping for Nibali but Kreuziger looks very good.

 

[Lexman]

Nibali takings risks in the corners...

 

[The Hitch]

Are there any intermediate times?

Yeah at like 4k, which Nibali should be approaching.

 

[BillytheKid]

Nabali very good... taking the risks

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Are there any intermediate times?

Yes. Nibali +7s of Cancellara. Good split time.

edit: nope Kreuziger much slower

 

[Jannemaan]

Kreuziger constantly shifts in the saddle...

 

[The Sheep]

Kreuziger slower

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kreuziger much much slower! He's out

 

[Highlander]

Scarponi didn't help his cause today as he finished well down.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Kreuz looks really smooth

 

[DominicDecoco]

Awful coverage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kreuz looks really smooth

But he is going horribly slow.

 

[The Sheep]

Horner also slower.

 

[royalpig180]

wow Kreuziger WAY down...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Horner already +11 seconds of Nibali

Nibali is going to win!

 

[The Hitch]

Nibali going to get around 10.50 it seems.

 

[royalpig180]

I wonder if Nibali went out too hard... hopefully he can hold up the pace to the line. Go shark go!
