2013 Tour de France, Stage 4: Nice / Nice 25km (TTT)

[Jelantik]

anyone has the start list and time ? i need to go to work and planing to watch it at work But won't want to miss the important team..

 

[Pulpstar]

Looks like Eddy King is not part of the plan for Cannondale ;D

 

[Flamin]

Argos 14'14" at the first intermediate.

 

[Roderick]

Since this year I think, since they have a separate competition at the world champs for ITT and TTT

But only in the Tour?, cause I think I remember seeing Dowsett ride the TTT in the giro in his national champion-jersey

 

[Amused]

Four, five minute time limit?

 

[One Man Grupetto]

EDIT: Why is Ted King not on a TT bike????

He crashed on Stage 1 and was in pretty bad shape so I am guessing that this is an injury-related decision.

I'm not 100% sure but it should apply to all TTT's if it is the case.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

If the time check is 13k, that's pretty sharp, upwards of 54kph

 

[puffin]

I make that 54.8 km/h

Argos 14'14" at the first intermediate.

 

[Nastyy]

Omega destroying it.

 

[Alphabet]

Did I just hear Paul Sherwen say that Hushovd still rides for Garmin?

 

[woodie]

He crashed on Stage 1 and was in pretty bad shape so I am guessing that this is an injury-related decision.

Maybe... He has clip on bars on his road bike though so unless is the geometry between the two bikes its a weird decision.

Either way I hope he gets through the stage.

 

[Flamin]

OPQS riding 4,4 km/h faster than Argos

Go OPQS Go!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

OK, so Argos was rubbish, and that OPQS time looks scorching.

 

[puffin]

OPQS 13.16

58s ahead,

58.8km/h

nice.

I think some teams didn't pay attention to the rule at the Giro. Cataldo also wore his champ jersey but other riders on other teams didn't wear theirs. Maybe their only enforcing it now.

Makes sense

Yeah that sounds about right

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Argos should be much better at TTT's.

 

[Ferminal]

Argos should be much better at TTT's.

They have no one to take long turns, pretty hard on them.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Lotto only 8 secs down on OPQS at inter so OPQS aren't flying

 

[Pulpstar]

Lotto only 8 seconds down on OPQS. They'd have bitten your hand off for that pre-race at the intermediate methinks.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Looks like more crap Argos than amazing OPQS then - good news, yellow is the last thing they need.
