schleck down 3,27 lmao.

 

[trevim]

I had an argument last night with a guy on ESPN who was saying that Schleck would challenge for the win, because he was the 2-time time trial champion of Luxembourg.

Lol, so I guess you won that argument?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

J Rod Top 35. pretty good

 

[Netserk]

I've such an aweful feeling for Contador in the ITT

Tbh it doesn't really matter that much. He'll need to crack Froome in the Alpes no matter what.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Oh cmon, that's actually very decent if you think how many collapsed later on If Costa has something left he will do well.

Costa fans must remember that this is not the Tour de Suisse but actually the Tour de France, where Costa is against the big boys.

 

[TheEnoculator]

Quintana has a very flat back in his TT position, kind of like Cancellara.

 

[Publicus]

So does Kreuziger put at least a minute into Alberto by the first checkpoint?

 

[thrawn]

Seems hard to judge riders at the first time check. Some have done poorly but left a lot in the tank and finish pretty high. Others have gone out too hard and faded.

Kwiatkkowski seems to be putting in a good tt.

 

[the sceptic]

schleck down 3,27 lmao.

Cycling expert Taxus predicted he would only lose 1'20 to Dawg

 

[Red Rick]

I hope Contador beats Andy by more than 31 seconds this time

 

[auscyclefan94]

Rodriguez not too bad.

Confirms what we always knew, ESPN doesn't know sh!t about cycling. You should have made a bet with him and won some easy money.

 

[Parrulo]

Kwia still good but collapsing a bit

 

[Miburo]

Costa fans must remember that this is not the Tour de Suisse but actually the Tour de France, where Costa is against the big boys.

Wasn't Van Garderen a guy who was gonna podium the tour according to many cyclist journalists?

 

[BigMac]

Purito 45'. Virtually behind Costa

 

[saneguy]

Andy is totally blown away. Would be down 6-8 mins.... Out of top 25 possibly

Very poor performance indeed. I know its not his strong skill but this is just too much..

 

[trevim]

I hope Contador beats Andy by more than 31 seconds this time

I wouldn't bet on that

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

How many times did Mick Rogers win the world TT title?

 

[Pulpstar]

Rogers ok time, Kreuziger has the look of a man who is going to put himself in the hole for 40 minutes. Bertie praying. Froome robotic on those rollers :O

 

[sjonnie]

Maybe he's following Chavanel's strategy

 

[auscyclefan94]

Contador looks fast to me.

 

[Afrank]

Andy is totally blown away. Would be down 6-8 mins.... Out of top 25 possibly

Very poor performance indeed. I know its not his strong skill but this is just too much..

Being further down will just open up his opportunities to attack and break away, don't despair. Still got plenty of chances to move back up in this Tour. He was always going to lose a lot in the TT anyways.

Costa fans must remember that this is not the Tour de Suisse but actually the Tour de France, where Costa is against the big boys.

Big boys like Porte and Evans?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dan Martin excellent, also top 35

 

[auscyclefan94]

Great comeback by Fyglsang. Pacing his effort.
