[gerundium]

Belkov average speed: 40,3 km/h. this is a damn hard TT!

 

[movingtarget]

The final 3 k took Belkov 8 minutes.

The climb will catch out many riders.

 

[jens_attacks]

1:21:32 for belkov and gazzetta specialists predicting that the average time will be 1 hour and 5 minutes lol lol

wiggo to clock around under 1:16:00 and explode the giro

gavazzi already 10 minutes back crazy

 

[Winnen]

Already gaps above 10 minutes. This could be a massacre today.

Belkov top 10 performance?

 

[Bavarianrider]

40,2 km/h for Belkov. This is way harder then it looked on paper.

 

[jens_attacks]

Why would Belkov be a good indicator ? Wiggins will do better than 1.16.

Miguel Minguez beats Bobridge

 

[whittashau]

So the cut-off will be about 19 minutes

does anyone know at what average speed did menchov win cinque terre?

It was about 45-46km/h by my calculations.

 

[roundabout]

does anyone know at what average speed did menchov win cinque terre?

38.5 or so...

 

[jens_attacks]

sergent putting the turbo on the second part. nice performance

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Gavazzi in serious danger there.

 

[gerundium]

does anyone know at what average speed did menchov win cinque terre?

1:34:30 over 60,6 km.

avg speed: 60,6/(1 + (34,5/60)) = 38,5 km/h.

[roundabout]

Gavazzi in serious danger there.

A winner would have to beat Belkov by 7 minutes for Gavazzi to be 25% slower

 

[jens_attacks]

thanks this itt is very hard too but not that hard of course

 

[jamesmasters]

Is it raining? (Wiggins will be crying for his mummy if it is).

Belkov seems to have been slow after the first check - if Dowsett continues to outperform, and then someone puts 2 minutes in to him, it could be very tight.

 

[Cimber]

Is it raining? (Wiggins will be crying for his mummy if it is).

Actuelly Wigins is Lucky. The rain should be worst about 5 pm (when Wiggo is done, but Nibali is still out there) according to the forecast

 

[Bavarianrider]

Sergent will be Top 10 for sure. Maybe Top 5

 

[theyoungest]

Millar, not the worst time trialist in the world, loses 12 minutes already.

 

[jens_attacks]

millar losing 12 minutes to sergent ahahahahha

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Sergent's already done half the job. It will be very tight.

 

[burning]

Sergent beats Belkov by 3 minutes

Looks like Gavazzi's Giro is over
