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

[King Boonen]

DE Gendt currently leads at finish by 34 seconds.

 

[murali]

sergio paulinho comes in.

that means that de gendt and tony martin are slow.

 

[jens_attacks]

so 36:30 for martin?

 

[King Boonen]

Martin 36:29.

 

[murali]

36:30 damn gud call.


TM at 36: 29

 

[Pulpstar]

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

Ye real greyhound/hare situation for De Gendt, must be good for the motivation (If you are feeling good)..

Nice time 37:30. If De Gendt can climb (Stelvio) and TT how come he is nowhere near the GC btw ?

 

[Bakhjulet]

Ouch!!! 36.29 by Martin.

54.27 km/h!!!!

 

[Sophistic82]

De Gendt confirms his status as the ultimate chamaleon on the bike

 

[jens_attacks]

ahahah i was right 36:29....what an absolutely monster time. i don't think froome will beat that

Consistency. Winning a stage from a long break and hanging with the leaders every stage are two very different things.

If the wind is changing to aid later riders then Froome may get close.

último corredor en llegar a meta
1.MARTIN T. OPQ en 36' 29''


Good time,

Froome will be about 37, so he is going to win.
Porte, Castroviejo, good times, but not less than 37.

 

[murali]

so 36:30 for martin?

ok jens.


I was wrong.

I think 54.27 kmph

A very good ride.

Now i think we just have to wait for froome

 

[GazelleFormula]

TM at TTT speeds....on his own

 

[del1962]

Millar up next, I hope he goes for this, and we will see how he does.

 

[murali]

prob next time, they should run TM as a separate team.

 

[murali]

how good is millar in TT?

 

[Taxus4a]

Tony Martin: 54,24 Km/h


Millar is good, but.. he has difficult today, maybe not top ten...
He is doing an excellent job for the team anyway.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Millar up next, I hope he goes for this, and we will see how he does.

Millar's days of being a factor in a tt are behind him.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

how good is millar in TT?

St. David can be pretty good.

 

[uconnryan]

Martin smashed it. No one is challenging that for a good 2 hours.

 

[murali]

will de gendt be able to hold podium?

how many more real contenders for this stage are left?

Several who can beat De Gendt.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

OTL based on Martins time is +9:07

 

[Hugo Koblet]

54.24 km/h is, from what I can see, the second fastest time in a Tour ITT above 30 km's. Only David Millar on stage 19 in 2003 was faster. Is that right?
