Look out for Santa!

 

[jens_attacks]

thank you so the podium is still in his reach

ok not really but santa will slaughter some favourites in the mountains big time

Can't imagine wiggins attacking much. He'll finish with, or slightly behind, Nibali on every road stage. And then there's the matter of the MTT..if he is indeed ill now, and recovers greatly, he could conceivably win the race there, but I bet against it.

if he's ill, he should be like evans last year then. finishing god knows where. maybe he should dnf and prepare to take leadership from Froome at the tour.

MS lost that stupid minute , oh well

 

[postmanhat]

Well done Dowsett! I expect the wait took more out of you than the TT

Two weeks of smug Italians now

 

[Magnus]

You are reading too much into one climb. Just like others in this forum. Trust me when the big mountains come results can be reversed completely. Aerobic versus anaerobic.

7 minute anaerobic effort?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Lots of people are forgetting Gesink. With only a MTT left, he is in contention for victory if he stays upright. The TT course was great for him and he limited his losses.

 

[jens_attacks]

processo alla tappa also talking about climbing times
pretty much they don't mean shiit to be honest

cadel as expected super strong, no surprise there

 

[hughmoore]

Great ride by Cadel, thankfully he is not in Pink just yet!

Why is Santambrogio gone from being tbh a hack on the climbs to this year being super strong? *cough* *cough*

Yes, all Cadel needs to do is to wait and then pounce. Nothing too fancy.

Actually Gesink is fabulous at short MTT, he can even take time off other favorites

Santa's TT was not bad either if I remember the results correctly.

 

[Escarabajo]

7 minute anaerobic effort?

No. By any means. But it could help the bigger guys and not 100%.

It killed some of the smaller climbers even though "it was a climb".

As another person in this forum some other riders could have started the climb fresher than others.

It is not as big of a deal as people wants it to be, really.

Look at Gilbert in the past. Does killing everyone on the steep hills told you the story about how good he was going to be on the big climbs?

Anyone got s time for Sanchez? Clearly not great

 

[auscyclefan94]

I didn't even hear him mentioned. Must have been ordinary.

 

[maxmartin]

Anyone got s time for Sanchez? Clearly not great

4 min down?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Anyone got s time for Sanchez? Clearly not great

[taiwan]

Thanks all.

 

[maxmartin]

too bad for MS' that stupid one minute fall, otherwise GC could be even tighter

 

[deValtos]

too bad for MS' that stupid one minute fall, otherwise GC could be even tighter

When did that happen ?? Was that today ?

 

[the sceptic]

too bad for MS' that stupid one minute fall, otherwise GC could be even tighter

Not to mention Henao and Uran.
