2013 Tour de France, stage 11: Avranches - Mont-Saint-Michelle 33km (ITT)

[SafeBet]

Berto struggling now. He keeps moving on that saddle.


Dawg best time at first split. But I don't think he will beat Panzer.

 

[martinvickers]

Froome faster then Martin. Quick, to the Clininc!

He can't keep this up surely - has the wind shifted - noting Valverde's time too

 

[Afrank]

Only a second faster. Hope the wind picks up, I want Tony to win this.

 

[thehog]

The dawg just went full ***!!!!!!

Full *** indeed

 

[BigMac]

Deja vu Tony Martin - Froome / Samu - Nibali

 

[auscyclefan94]

Bertie's second split was not bad but not great.

 

[ILovecycling]

Fvckin Froome

Contador fading at 2nd,3rd sector can kill him

 

[uconnryan]

Everybody is slowing down later after the first check but Martin didn't.....hang on Martin!!!

 

[Hayabusa]

Last section is into a headwind so I reckon that'll give Martin the TT win, but Froome will destroy his GC rivals if he continues like this..

 

[Broth3r]

Someone tell the frenchies they have a bunch of incompetents in the production office. No airtime for half of the top 20.

Froome:

"Red Five standing by!!"

 

[happychappy]

Go Froome! Such an absolute star. Demolishing the haters with every pedal rev

 

[Kender]

Only check that matters is the one across the finish line

 

[webvan]

Contador falling away whilst Froome continues to fly...

Everyone lost tons of time between TC1 and T2 except DeGent with 15" lost...we'll see if Froome can do better...

 

[Shardi]

froome wont win. Tony Martin will be superior on the open parts of the course. The first part is lumpy and wind-protected.

Froome 25s down on Martin at the finish.

 

[King Boonen]

That was expected. Let's see the 2nd check before panicking.

This. Valverde was only 24 seconds of Martin after all.

 

[brilleaben]

What's surprising about Froome being better than Martin so far? Nothing.

 

[brian1225]

Frooomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is the fastest by 1 second

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Nieve @ 5:20 !

 

[TheEnoculator]

Contador doesn't look very comfortable on the saddle.

 

[webvan]

Kreuziger : not as good as Bertie on TC2, 2" second behind, means Bertie is riding well, best ITT in years.

 

[BigMac]

Costa near finish.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Contador doesn't look very comfortable on the saddle.

He never does on an ITT bike.

 

[Pippo_San]

I want to hear the uproar in the clinic when Froomey gets this with over a minute on Tony

I bought a Belkin product and it is quite good. The cycling team is quite good as well!

FYI: Belkin is a reseller. Yes, that's their logo on the shell, but the device/cable is all contract manufacturing. You can buy the same product from zoom/monoprice for lots less.

They are smart, IMHO to spend money on a cycling team. But, just know that their stuff isn't particularly good/special.
