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

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Cancellara takes Mollema

 

[DominicDecoco]

Overtaking Bauke now.

 

[Falken]

Curious about Rogers today, he looked very good in Dauphine TT.

 

[glassmoon]

Overtaking Bauke now.

3 min on 20kms?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Bit embarassing for Bauke.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Is it just me or does it look like Chavanel is going very slow?

 

[Bala Verde]

Painful for Mollema to have started before the canc

 

[dlwssonic]

cancellara is gonna smash this. Only superhuman times from wiggo, evans, froome, chavanel, menchov and TJVG can stop him.

 

[Publicus]

Jeebus. He caught his 3 minute man

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Bit embarassing for Bauke.


Now taking the michael drafting

 

[Yingge]

Fabian overtakes Mollema.

 

[Caruut]

Mollema really pushing it here

 

[Pharazon]

nice bit of drafting there Bauke

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

A riders worst nightmare - starting the time trial one position in front of Cancellara.

 

[Bala Verde]

Jeebus. He caught his 3 minute man

in 20k or so....?

At least he doesn't need to push it. No GC and recovering from injuries.

 

[Falken]

Poor Mollema, started 3min before Canc and is already caught.

 

[movingtarget]

He could do better than Cadel, but I find my self using could have, should have and would have often with Menchov recently

Menchov is completely unpredictable. A bookmaker's nightmare.

 

[Warhawk]

Bit embarassing for Bauke.

It'd be a lot more embarassing if it was anyone other than Cancellara, though.

 

[DominicDecoco]

That's one of the positives starting in front of Fabian. When he overtakes you and if you can keep a decent distance to him for the rest of the TT you might even end up with a decent time..

 

[Falken]

Casar losing time, +32 at 2nd split. Still a good ride.

 

[Morbius]

if

10chars

 

[DominicDecoco]

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

 

[Caruut]

Wow, normally I find those decorated fields a bit lame, but that one was incredible.

 

[Fetisoff]

LOL @ Sagan.
Casar is flying

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

It'd be a lot more embarassing if it was anyone other than Cancellara, though.

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.
