2014 68th Tour de Romandie, April 29 to May 4 - WT

[roundabout]

Pretty average last half by Froome

 

[RichieTheBest]

quite predictable given the hill was really hard

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Froome beats Sergent by 8 seconds. Unbelievable!

 

[miketrout27]

Good ride Froome

 

[Rollthedice]

So what's with Uran? Sucks in the mountains and smash it in TT?

 

[pastronef]

well, a good warning to Alberto. July will be intense

Bad day yesterday or good day today.
We need a bigger sample size

Body-fat percentage to high?

Va Va Froome

 

[miketrout27]

Contador may be a faster on the climbs, but Froome is the man to beat in the TT.

Overall good Romandie. Was nice to watch. Congrats to Froome, deserved winner.

Also nice to see Costa building up his form. He will do the hat-trick in TdS.

Depends on the depth of the field participating. If any of the big 3 or 4 (Contador, Valverde, Froome, Nibali) is there, he will have a tough time

 

[Dazed and Confused]

GC:
1 Froome (SKY)
2 Spilak (KAT) +0:28
3 Costa (LAM) +1:32
4 Frank (IAM) +1:44
5 Nibali (AST) +1:48
6 Intxausti (MOV) +1:52
7 Fuglsang (AST) +1:56
8 Izagirre (MOV) +2:07
9 Herrada (MOV) +2:15

Froome is very solid. Congrats to him.

Of those four only Froome will ride to win, and he'll ride Dauphine (together with Nibs and Contador, I think Valverde will ride it as well).

Well team Sky says Froome will do Dauphiné, and I suppose the others will too.

 

[The Blues]

Impressive tt from Frank.

 

[Alpechraxler]

Impressive tt from Frank.

it was solid. Impressive would it be if he would stand on the podium now and beat rui costa to 4th.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Very good TT by Pinot, a bit let down by Talansky. Could not watch, did he have a problem?

 

[willbick]

What an AMAZING day for BRITISH cycling!!

 

[TANK91]

Jeez he only beat Sergent by 8 seconds so hold your horses. Martin clearly struggled. I cant wait for July great supporting CF you no its really in the bag bar a crash. What idiots though Spilak had a chance many thought he could beat Froome in the ITT haha.

Yes, the problem was: not good enough

He finished only a few seconds behind Froome last year. I got the feeling he wasn't on a good day, his climbing looked really bad, almost Mollema-like.

LOL, thx

He's getting ready for the Giro? Can't be going 100% all the time..

 

[Escarabajo]

So Uran has been training more on his TT skills. Probably he does not have the orgency to train on his mountain skills since he already have that. Besides the Giro might come down to those two TT. Remember that we don't have the Froomes in the Giro, so he has to beat the likes of Quintana and Purito.
