[Klubban]

Sergent just +7s behind Martin. Either Martin hasn't done the strongest of TT or Sergent has perfomed an excellent TT.

 

[BigMac]

SKY coverage just started.

[Klubban]

Ludvigsson currently 3rd, +35s.

Not too bad.

Both Sergent and Ludvigsson took time on Martin from intermediate to finish. Wind changes? Martin too hard from start?

 

[miketrout27]

It will be a big fight between Spilak and Froome

Ludvigsson currently 3rd, +35s.

Not too bad.

Neither apparent nor likely change in wind, probably some small mishap for Martin.

Yes, there is one at 7.04 km.
Ignatyev was there in 12:05
But no more said about it sinece it was announced on tourderomandie.ch

 

[Klubban]

Nasty little climb, some really steep sections.

 

[whittashau]

Basso again way off the pace.

 

[Klubban]

Good intermediate time by Uran.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Wind's quietened down. The winner is going to be one of the last to go, likely Froome or Spilak

 

[Klubban]

Get the feeling Froome will destroy the climb. Remember the destruction in Oman up the Green Mountain...

 

[GuyIncognito]

Wind's quietened down. The winner is going to be one of the last to go, likely Froome or Spilak

Urán barely slower than Martin....

 

[Ruby United]

[manafana]

yeah the steep sections (about 3 of them) are 200-250m long each.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Anyone got start times?

Everyone's already started

 

[Le breton]

Earlier I may have said the same thing, but it does not seem to be happening.
10 min. wind speed averages have been steady at 25 km/h
