WTH??? DID VDB JUST BECOME AN ITT GOD IN GC??? xD

Same at Romandie. Great TT, crap climbing.
Seems he's going back to his younger days when he was a TT specialist who could climb a little bit

Well he was 4th in Romandie, only 19 seconds behind Tony Martin and ahead of Rohan Dennis. I seem to recall he's been focusing a bit more on his ITT, and he's had the TT talent ever since he was a youngster.

Rob Hatch talking about how Porte's early season form is deserting him, and how he won everything he entered earlier in the year, how great a win Paris-Nice was. Sean Kelly: "oh, Paris-Nice is easy to win" :D
True dat. Usually the commentators always hype up the races they won themselves to be exceptionally hard, but not Kelly
When the commentators have won things in particular specialisations or only a few things they'll always make a big deal of it. Kelly won so much though, he can probably be a bit fairer on it.

That and joke about it since he won, what was it, seven Paris-Nices as opposed to many he only won once or twice?

Commentators...well Kelly...sound sure the wind and conditions aren't changing. Kelly generally seems to know what he's on about.

It doesn't look windy on the course, but one has to assume something has changed
Maybe Kirenka had a tailwind

If Contador and aru also do a shitty time and vdb keeps it going then he might get the rosa.

Unlikely though but would be hilarious.

Kelly is great, end of story.

Kangert only 4th. I expected much better from him since he said he'd go for the stage today and the TT is his strength

Kangert 1:17 behind Kyrienka. That's a lot more than I'd expect of him based on his previous ITT's. So thinking the circumstances have changed in some way.
