2013 Tour of Romandie, Stage 5: Genève - Genève 18 Km

It says a lot about romandie when no one bothered to make race threads all week long

anyway short flay time trial to decided the last place on the podium as the first 2 already have been decided.

Imo kelderman takes it.

 

[Afrank]

Been a pretty boring Romandie GC-wise this year. At least we have the Giro to look forward to.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

1. Martin
2. Froomey ( a couple of seconds back)
3. Kelderman. (15++ sec back)

 

[Hugo Koblet]

1. Martin
2. Froome
3. Malori

 

[SafeBet]

Froomey will smoke them all. Panzerwagen behind him after yesterday's effort.

 

[greenedge]

Martin
Froome
to take the first 2- it could be in any order.

Then Kelderman, Malori, Porte... to take 3rd.

 

[BoxCoppi]

Wind speed is forecasted to increase during the day and there is a (small) risk of showers later.

Significant differences in riding conditions could cause an upset from early starters, e.g. Tuft, Turbo or even Rohan.

 

[wwabbit]

Froomey will smoke them all. Panzerwagen behind him after yesterday's effort.

Possibly... except that Froome also put in effort yesterday...

 

[movingtarget]

The Panzer will prevail followed by Froome and Porte.

 

[Miburo]

Possibly... except that Froome also put in effort yesterday...

Effort? Did he suffer?

Normally Martin takes this unless the alien does it again.

 

[SafeBet]

Effort? Did he suffer?

Normally Martin takes this unless the alien does it again.

He wasn't even at 100%.
Total annihilation today. Only possible surprise is Malori.

 

[movingtarget]

Watching Froome ride is an assault on the senses. He looks like he is trying to breed with the bike but when he disappears up the road I suppose it's all in the results. The constant looking down is weird too but of course that has it's purpose as well. When he is riding next to a smooth, stylish rider, the differences are even more pronounced. At the moment "ugly" looks like it might prevail at the Tour unless Contador can get back to his near best.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink says he sees this as an extra restday before the giro so no way he'll post a good time

 

[Bavarianrider]

Dead flat, no corners.
Average speed way about 50km/h i guess

 

[Netserk]

There's two 180 degrees corners.

He's going to help Clement

[Bavarianrider]

Tuft with 50,5 km/h.
Winner to crack 52 km/h i assume.

 

[SafeBet]

Tuft apparently not so fast in the second part. Many riders are gaining something on him.

 

[Gloin22]

Dennis fastest on intermediate.

Boaro fast as well.

 

[SafeBet]

Dennis fastest on intermediate.

Boaro fast as well.

Both could take the lead.

 

[SafeBet]

Dennis 8 seconds faster than Tuft, takes the lead.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Malori takes the lead.

 

[l.Harm]

Malori 14s faster than Dennis at intermediate.
