I think I should clarify.

For a rider of porte's caliber, it seemed as if he was not intent on beating TM's time. He was consistently slowing down across all the 3 sectors. The Porte that i respect might have lost time in first check, but he would not have lost by a similar margin in the second 2 sectors.

Bad choice of word: "slowed" sorry.

He would not have beaten it anyway. Martin after all is the World TT champ. Unless of course we are back to the days of Contador where 63kg riders beat 75kg specialists!

Meh, didn't expect much from Schleck here anyways. I expect 3-4 minute loss by the end.
