2012 Tour de France: Stage 9: Arc-et-Senans → Besançon (ITT) (41.5 km)

[Caruut]

The American veteran Chris Boardman is about to start

 

[glassmoon]

That's amazing work by the farmers there. Insane.

that one was probably the best in years...
lol, Pater overtaken - no stress at all. hope he will do some joke in finish

 

[Machu Picchu]

LOL @ Sagan.

why, what happened?_?

 

[TheEnoculator]

How much time you think Cancellara will gain in this stage?

 

[Bala Verde]

Getting caught on a 3 minute gap in 25 minutes riding is embarassing for a decent pro, even against Fabian.

Obviously Bauke isn't trying today, but that will still feel a bit embarassing for him when it happened.

Let's see how many people in the final stage standing will have > +3m behind their names in relation to Spartacus. Lots of embarrassment to go around I bet.

 

[Swifty's Cakes]

How much time you think Cancellara will gain in this stage?

at this rate it will be enough to go back into yellow!

 

[Falken]

How much time you think Cancellara will gain in this stage?

I think he will finish around 52 minutes.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Fabian 39:40

 

[Pharazon]

Canc 1:09 up

no one's touching that today

 

[Caruut]

Bloody hell Canc.

 

[Warhawk]

Let's see how many people in the final stage standing will have > +3m behind their names in relation to Spartacus. Lots of embarrassment to go around I bet.

The way things are going right now, I'd say at least 80%.

And that's assuming we have some good ones coming.

 

[burning]

Only Wiggins has a chance to beat this time

 

[glassmoon]

Fabian 39:40

he's smoking it big time.
so what u guys think? over or under 1 minute on Wiggo?

 

[Bala Verde]

Only Wiggins has a chance to beat this time

Can Spartacus put a minute between him and Wiggins?

 

[Publicus]

So yeah. Cancellara has this in the bag. Despite not really having a chance at the podium, RSNT is having a fantastic Tour de France (thanks largely to Cancellara, but still).

 

[its like that]

Good ride this by Chavanel

 

[The Sheep]

Chavanel bossing it too

 

[Hugo Koblet]

OK I take my Chavanel statement back. Amazing time!

 

[burning]

Amazing time by Chavanel!!!!!!!!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

La machine... close

 

[Machu Picchu]

he's smoking it big time.
so what u guys think? over or under 1 minute on Wiggo?

Under on Wig, over on all others.

 

[Fetisoff]

Chava

Gonna lose at least 30 seconds on the flat part though, IMHO

 

[will10]

Can Spartacus put a minute between him and Wiggins?

No way. Remember Fabian's time is flattered somewhat by Tony M. being off colour.

 

[Trunnions]

Wiggo is at this very moment shaving off his sideburns to gain time.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Chav only 7 seconds behind Cancellara!
