2012 World Championships, Men Individual Time Trial: 45.7Km

[JimPanzen]

i think it's the first time Contador disappoints in a TT but it's not done yet but ok.

Maybe because it's an isolated ITT and not part of a stage race. On paper Contador should also be able to be competetive in severeal one day races but always prefered stage races. I think it suits him more.

 

[Miburo]

Can Phinney catch Kess?

Crash of pinotti

 

[Cyivel]

Pinotti, nooo

 

[Afrank]

Pinotti went down. He was looking great too.

 

[BillytheKid]

Phinney should struggle towards the end.
TJVG really impressive, so far.

Bertie having a bad day.

True. Some reversal on the Valkenberg will reverse the order?

 

[the asian]

Pinotti Crash That's a pity.

 

[wheels of fire]

Noobs tipping AC favourate

There is no way AC can match the strength of heavier riders on such a route with wind and no selective-long climb.

Pinotti just lost a medal chance, a shame ;(

 

[TomasC]

Did someone notice why he fell?

 

[Aristarchus]

Pinotti abandon incoming?

 

[meat puppet]

that corner's gonna be decisive, im afraid.

 

[Afrank]

Pinotti's ride is over.

 

[Bavarianrider]

[DominicDecoco]

How cool is Bettini?

 

[Parrulo]

Did someone notice why he fell?

a combination of a really bad line and too much speed going into the corner

il grillo being supportive.

contador about to get caught. ouch

 

[BillytheKid]

Did someone notice why he fell?

Road paint. dry to wet...

 

[Miburo]

Marting is close to Contador

[sultanofhyd]

Catch incoming..

 

[The Hitch]

Martin about to catch Contador

 

[meat puppet]

Did someone notice why he fell?

wet patch - dry patch and and a crosswalk. too much speed too, i reckon, given the circumstances.

 

[Aristarchus]

Martin almost 2 minutes up on Contador

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Did someone notice why he fell?

He slipped in a corner. Probably one of the white stripes that was wet.

 

[goggalor]

Catch coming up! Choo choo!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Top 10 for Dowsett then, pretty impressive.

 

[The Hitch]

Maybe Contador can do like Larsson and follow MArtin to a silver

 

[Afrank]

a combination of a really bad line and too much speed going into the corner

contador about to get caught. ouch
