2012 World Championships, Men Individual Time Trial: 45.7Km

[TheEnoculator]

Contador +40. He's not gonna make up that time on the Cauberg.

 

[The Hitch]

Tony Martin going to catch Contador at this rate.

 

[screaming fist]

Looking forward to Martin catching Contador!

(edit: The Hitch beat me to it)

 

[Miburo]

Damn, now i'm just hoping Martin won't catch him

 

[Parrulo]

outside of spain Contador is nothing anyore!

already with clinic hinting pathetic posts?

 

[Afrank]

Martin only 4 seconds down on Phinney, he's looking good.

 

[luckyboy]

Surprising how far down AC was

 

[hoerpi]

Wonder if Tony can catch Contador, if that happens this place will implode.

Edit: A little late it seems...

 

[cineteq]

Martin only 4 seconds down on Phinney, he's looking good.

Contador 40 seconds down on Phinney, not good.

No surprises there, I'm still on track.

 

[Bavarianrider]

already with clinic hinting pathetic posts?

Already getting insecure?

 

[Parrulo]

Already getting insecure?

i am not insecure, it doesn't really bother me.

what does bother me as a mod are clinic references on the road race.

 

[cineteq]

This is going to be a great head to head between Martin and Phinney. I will still lean slightly towards Martin. Phinney could struggle once again on Cauberg.

I think it'll be more between Martin and Van Garderen.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Tony to pass Alberto on Cauberg.

 

[Bumeington]

This is going to be a great head to head between Martin and Phinney. I will still lean slightly towards Martin. Phinney could struggle once again on Cauberg.

Tony wins by 30-45 seconds

 

[Falken]

Nice, Kessiakoff going quiet well. Go Kess!

Nice, Kessiakoff going quiet well. Go Kess!

Not really.

 

[goggalor]

lol at this being a battle between Martin and Contador. Contador's a solid time trialist, but rating him that much higher than Phinney/Van Garderen/Kessiakoff etc? Come on.

Anyway, go Taylor!

 

[Falken]

Not really.

That's because I have reasonable expectations of him.

But, I see now that he is losing time quiet fast...

 

[the asian]

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

Bertie having a bad day.

 

[Miburo]

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

I think Martin will take it.

Edit: Contador might decide who'll win.

 

[Afrank]

Anyone know how far back TJVG is?

 

[goggalor]

Phinney killing it, but he needs a buffer before Cauberg. Hopefully he'll go better than in the TTT.

 

[meat puppet]

phinney going really well, hoping he takes it. but probably tony will win with a handy margin, though,

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony is loosing it in the corners i fear

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Even on second mark Pinotti can't surpass Gruzdev!

I think we're looking at top 5 here.
