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

[wwabbit]

De Gendt catches Navardauskas...

 

[murali]

TM slowed down to 53.4 kmph

I think its going to be froome's day

 

[TommyPlus]

Riders have been saying the last few KMS are into a strong headwind

 

[Sasquatch]

Wind switch?

Doubt it.

I would be surprised if anyone got within a minute of Froome and Martin at the end of the day.

Both of them will blitz this.

 

[fantomas]

Bak gained 1 minute on Tuft from 2nd to finish?!

 

[SafeBet]

Bak gained time on Tuft in the last part.

 

[TommyPlus]

Bak went from 11th at first check to third at the finish line.

 

[murali]

Sub 36.30 for TM?

This looks more like a 37:30 + to me

 

[Bakhjulet]

Roy +8 at finish. Good job! Think the wind is changing.

 

[roundabout]

not really a wind switch

wind is predicted to get stronger during the day. That was already predicted yesterday
So later starters do have the advantage

Bak did the last part faster than Tuft

 

[SafeBet]

Bak gained 1 minute on Tuft from 2nd to finish?!

More like 10 seconds.

 

[murali]

Roy 8 sec down on tuft.

 

[SafeBet]

Roy also took time on Tuft.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bak did the last part faster than Tuft

and the last part was predicted to have tailwind.. so if tailwind gets stronger all day, then ofcourse his last part is faster

 

[fantomas]

More like 10 seconds.

1:42 down at 2nd, 40s down at the finish. That is 1:02 gained according to my calculations.

Edit: Argh, sorry, hen was only 49s down at the 2nd chrono.

 

[Bakhjulet]

This looks more like a 37:30 + to me

Tuft's time is 38.04 and Martin is ahead with 53s at 2nd chrono. He will definately go under 37 min.

 

[murali]

any news about wind condition anywhere?

 

[Cramps]

Sub 36.30 for TM?

I'm guessing it will be about 36'45"

 

[Gloin22]

1:42 down at 2nd, 40s down at the finish. That is 1:02 gained according to my calculations.

1:42 down to Martin.

Not to Tuft.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

1:42 down at 2nd, 40s down at the finish. That is 1:02 gained according to my calculations.

Please take a relook at the split times.

 

[fantomas]

1:42 down to Martin.

Not to Tuft.

Yeah, I noticed and made an edit.

 

[Bakhjulet]

Post removed. 2nd time...

 

[murali]

Tuft's time is 38.04 and Martin is ahead with 53s at 2nd chrono. He will definately go under 37 min.

I think then he will have to motor much faster in the final section

 

[Taxus4a]

Amazing Roy in the last partial.

Tony best time...he is going to put more that one minute in Turf, who start strong, so I think Tony will win, except change conditions...

De Gent knows Marin is behing him and doesn't want to get caught
