Re: Re:

1 minute to Porte and Uran after 15 km. That is like a flashback back to 1994.

Re: Re:

He was all of 6 seconds ahead of VBD. He's putting in a very good time, but it's made to look monstrous because those around him aren't all that good.

Don't forget he's losing 2s per km because of his position!

 

[Ramira]

Seriously why is everyone ignoring the time set by Jurgen Vandenbroeck?

What's more likely?
That VBD and Contador are both racing out of their minds.
Or that Porte and Uran, who have both shown a lot of weakness the last 2 weeks, aren't at their best.

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Amador and Van den Broeck will likely move into the top 5 or close to it

 

[Publicus]

Yeah he's going so great that he hasn't caught Landa. I think it's more that Porte and Uran are off than Contador is really on.

Re: Re:

Porte slower than the Bastard of the North, whose time trial skills are toxic.

Jon Snow is riding?

yep, he has Sky skinsuit ...but he havent cut his hair so he is 10W slower

Re: Re:

yep.
But people said he will never be the same again

you'll be able to disprove them only in july. there's no sensation in this this tt

 

[Asero831]

Amador is now in Podium. We'll see if he can dislodge Aru in 2nd place.

Who's the Bastard of the North?

Mike Nieve, nieve is basque for snow I think, GoT reference

Its Spanish for snow.

Basque for snow is something like Xerexaradeanx.

Oh and its an ASOIAF reference

Oh sorry, thought not everybody would know the term ASOIAF

I don't think so, he was around 20th at the first check into a headwind, he is far ahead of all of the other GC contenders, Contador is most certainly on.

He is going to catch him before half way.

Nieve knows nothing about tt'ing

I spit my drink out my nose!

LOLLL that was Awesome!

 

[Glocknerkoenig]

Don't post here often but it's disappointing to see the bile towards Porte for what seems to be no for no reason other than he races for team sky. what a bunch of gloating ***** you lot can be, really reduces the quality of this board.

 

[Kokoso]

Re:

Landa proving Astanal gains are by no means universal against the clock

And that's great.

 

[Red Rick]

Nieve is riding so good cause he's used to summer snows of the North obviously

 

[Flamin]

Aru 1'02" slower than Conta under the 35k to go Banner.

book fan, series hater,there there

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Lol, Andrey Amador in the top 5, vamos vamos!!!

He's such a strange rider, been a great domestique over all terrains, but never really remotely suggested a GC capability. However, he can win MTFs from the break and top 10 Gent-Wevelgem... yet be unthreatening enough to be allowed in the breakaway on stage 4.

 

[Ramira]

Re: Re:

He won't be. Honestly I think there's a good chance he's the best GT rider in the world right now (unfortunately we haven't really had a true matchup between the current top 4 since, well ever really).

But there's no way his effort in the Giro won't affect him in the TDF. Quintana/Nibali/Froome will still have a far better preparation.

Now the fact that the will probably have this Giro wrapped up after today will help him a lot, no need to exert himself in the last week, he can just follow and have 1 explosion to show he's truly the best and conserve as much as he can.
