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

[GazelleFormula]

will de gendt be able to hold podium?

how many more real contenders for this stage are left?

Froome/Porte/Kwiatkowski/Rogers/Talansky/Chavanel

And some others. Don't think de Gendt will keep his spot on the podium.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Only three riders within 2 minutes of Panzerwagen's time at this point.

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?

The dawg will beat it, and if he does, I´m done with cycling

1 David Millar (GBr) 54.359 km/h
2 Lance Armstrong (USA) 53.986 km/h
3 Jan Ullrich (Ger) 53.642 km/h


But i think those are c****c results

 

[spalco]

-1.01 is not the usual Tony Martin dominance, so I have some doubts if that time is going to hold up. Froome might actually win this stage.

 

[King Boonen]

Fingers crossed.

 

[SafeBet]

David Millar with a decent first split, 37 seconds down on Panzer.

 

[Pulpstar]

Cam Meyer beat Spartacus' time in the Tour of Switzerland. Though I doubt the wind will play AS big a factor here.

 

[Bakhjulet]

LOL, le.tour has Tuft as reference at 1st chrono. Martin in a different league I guess...

I mean,Really?
then you'll miss Alberto 4 victory at Tour

 

[King Boonen]

You mean 15 seconds?

Nope, not changed the time on the ticker, still Tufts.

 

[xrayvision]

Fingers crossed.

you missed the sarcasm

Probably you should look at tuft's time, and that is a solid 100 s.

yes

lance in mulhouse i think was 55 km/h plus. but it was tailwind from start to finish

seems like i was wrong....only 53.98 km/h

 

[King Boonen]

you missed the sarcasm

So did you.

-1.01 is not the usual Tony Martin dominance, so I have some doubts if that time is going to hold up. Froome might actually win this stage.

Castroviejo coming up, he will be an indicator. In the Dauphine ITT, Dawg was +52 behind Martin and Castroviejo +1.08. If Castroviejo beats De Gendt, I believe Froome could challenge Martin.

 

[murali]

i think the ticker believes that tony martin is of an entirely different class, so shouldnt look at other people's time compared to him.

letour has prob added some intelligence to their tickr s/w

 

[uconnryan]

Martin did 36' 54" for 32.5 km at the Dauhphine.
He just did 36' 29" for 33 km today.

Both routes were flat, but he did a .5 km longer course 25 seconds faster. Can't imagine that time getting challenged.

wasn't it the stage in which wind changed to assist the later riders??

Same here.
It would take an alien to do better.

Makes no sense to compare those purely on the km's. Wind is a big factor.

TM was complaining at tht time tht he was not 100% fit

De Gendt was +2.25 behind Martin in Dauphine, today +1.01. De Gendt much stronger today or Martin a bit weaker? Hard to say yet.
