2015 Paris-Nice, Stage 7: Nice - Col d'Èze 9.6km ITT

[BigMac]

Majka 23 seconds worse than de Gendt.

Judging by their tweets the Sky duo seems ok,but if Gallopin can recover well i think he still has a chance to hold the jersey.If we add Kwiatkovski and Fuglsang this should be a great battle. Or maybe Rui Costa will crush them all.

Gallopin is the clear favourite for the GC imo. It will take something pretty extraordinary for him not to win I think. Don't be surprised if he's very close to taking the win on the stage too...

Anyone know why Wiggins didn't start today? He's pretty much only at PN for race days but mainly the TTs...

You mad? Stage win? He's in good form, but not that good.

And considering what happened last time up Eze, Porte can easily do it. I think Tony can hold him off though, it'd be a great achievement if he does.

What? Not a popsicle's chance in hell that Gallopin will be close to beating Porte unless Porte is suffering a lot from his crash.

And Porte looked absolutely fine after his crash - just a bit of road rash. I'll be amazed if Gallopin can hold on to his lead (wouldn't be surprised to see Thomas or Kwiat overtake him as well)

Talansky with a strong TT, for the first race for the season not a bad indicator.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Talansky does a 21:00

Yes he's not in the form he was in during 2013 PN but that's almost 1 and a half minutes slower than his time in 2013 - just highlights the effect the wind and the rain is having

oh god. I wish I could violate the tos for stupidity

Re:

unless something bad happens, i think Gallopin is going to win PN.

i am betting on majka for stage win.

regarding porte, thomas, i am not sure. both of them crashed yesterday, both of them had to work real hard to catch up with kwiato.
kwiato did too much work yesterday, so he too is going to be affected.

Yea, right..

Tony Martin new best time: 20.52.

Don't count on it

Good ride by Taaramäe too. Not the best P-N for him this time. Hopefully stays in top 10.

 

[webvan]

What wretched weather...Gallopin warming up, it's surprising to see a top rider who's not "skinny", that might have helped actually yesterday in the cold and rain.

lol, you do realize he won this very tt a few years ago?

:facepalm

There goes Richie, I'd be surprised if he recovers after his bad day (even without the fall) from yesterday...if ihe does, it might be a sign that he's no longer "soft in the head".

And off goes Tony ! Wow, he looks SLOW unless he's pushing a big one ?
