Huh? Why? :eek:

Because they are saying the ITT should not have been done in Sagres because everyone knows Sagres already, and that the time trial perhaps should be canceled because of the wind.


Yes.

Interesting that he only took a little more than a single second over the first half, and then 10 seconds over the second half.

that's not interesting considering martin is a diesel so he starst slower

Well he isn't climbing any better than Kwia and he is time trialist much worse than him, and Kwia isn't even a podium contender for the Tour so i would say this is looking pretty bad for him :eek:

Also nice time trial for Contador. Can't wait to see how he does tomorrow on the Malhão.

C'mon, the fail climbs of Algarve mean nothing. Besides, yesterday Kwia went and Costa didn't react, so we can't say Kwia is climbing better than Costa atm.

I wonder if we're going to see another Hesjedal situation here with losing power with the weight?

Nice riding by Contador, and Kwiatkowski continues to impress. He'll have a great year.
