2013 Tour de Suisse, Stage 1: Quinto - Quinto 8.1KM

[spalco]

Easily the best time of anyone in the last 100 riders or so by Cancellara.

 

[Parrulo]

WOW Cancellara would have crushed this!!!!

 

[maltiv]

Monster ride by Cancellara, he's put more than 20 seconds into everyone else riding in those conditions

 

[Unkown]

Ouch for Costa. Is that bad compared to the guys starting around the same time as him?

Pretty bad, same time as Andy Schleck but we don't really know how much worse the wind is.

 

[woodburn]

Cancellara almost 22 seconds down but best placement among anybody that went late.

 

[SafeBet]

Considering Cancellara's performance, I'd say the wind cost all of these riders at least 30 seconds.

 

[jens_attacks]

fabian could have totally destroyed this

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Weird prologue from Mollema

Last (!!) at 15 seconds at the 1st time check, 108th at the 2nd, 55th at the finish (56th with Cancellara) at 41 seconds

edit: in fact Mollema rode one of the best 2nd parts of all.

 

[Tom T.]

Considering nobody has gotten into the top 30 for the past hour or so I would say yes.

Thanks. I only tuned in the last 10 minutes, so I would not have known that right away.

 

[Panda Claws]

Seeing as how C. Meyer would still probably have beaten all others, bar Cancellara, he is a worthy winner.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

He would have won for sure, wind robbed him big time

Having a ds who is a great tactician is vital..stephens choice of letting cam ride early was a masterstroke...great tactician can predict the weather

 

[Unkown]

You could probably take off 30seconds for everyone in the last hour and half and thats what their time would have been if the wind was the same for everyone.

 

[Panda Claws]

Good time by Costa.

 

[Unkown]

Good finish by Costa

 

[Ferminal]

Awesome by Spartacus.

Hesjedal a chance to take the lead tomorrow, although with that gap he may not actually have the form.

plus he fights crocodiles on tv all the time.
gotta love stephens

 

[Parrulo]

Good finish by Costa, even better then TJVG so the form is there.

Spilak not so great finishing almost 30 seconds down on Costa

 

[Potomac]

Good fortune for hesjedel to start early.

 

[Unkown]

Awesome by Spartacus.

Hesjedal a chance to take the lead tomorrow, although with that gap he may not actually have the form.

Yes just noticed that, would be good for his morale considering what he went through at the Giro, but doubt he really needs that, seems mentally strong to me.

The most important thing ... Manolo loves him too.

 

[SafeBet]

Awesome by Spartacus.

Hesjedal a chance to take the lead tomorrow, although with that gap he may not actually have the form.

I don't think this performance tells much about his form. It's not like he's ever dominated any prologue in the past.

 

[manafana]

opens this up bit with messy tt today, hopefully 2moro kicks off.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Wind has worked well for Dombrowski, lost a lot less than he might have.
