[CyclingEnthusiast]

Contador 11.54
Nibali 11.55
Pinot 11.56
Mollema 11.57
Uran 12.01

Very close, no major changes in the GC

 

[Rollthedice]

Great Bauke.

 

[Escarabajo]

Nairo dragging his feet!!!!

 

[rm7]

Bad TT from Nario.

 

[luckyboy]

All top 5 stays the same, unexpected.

I think Cummings finishes behind Contador by only one second on GC though

 

[Arredondo]

He needs to work more on his TT

 

[Escarabajo]

No ITT in the Tour this year. Puff!!!!

Re:

14 km ITT could net Nairo 30 sec handicap after first stage.

 

[huangho]

Pretty bad ITTs from Nairo, Rigo and Purito, Mollema surprise!!

Nibbs and AC are in form for ITTs, but Nairo got this in the snow.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Nice ITT by Berto. Significantly better than the 1st

Apparently Sagan is fine, he was too slow (Cancellara +25% = 14:13, he did a 14:22) but the roadbook says "The time limit, established based on the winner’s time expressed in minute seconds, shall be further rounded off to the subsequent minute"

edit: or maybe not, no idea what's supposed to mean exactly.

edit 2: so I guess it means the time limit was +2:50, it was "rounded off to the subsequent minute" =3 minutes, and thereby Sagan made it by 1 second

Makes you think what Kelderman could do on a good team...

I got the feeling for years about last years Rabo and it follow ups. Sometimes I wish the team vanishes so the good riders end up on a good team.
Right now Lotto-Jumbo is such a weak squad....

It would mean the 14:13 calculated gets rounded to 15:00 I would think

yes, maybe, Rai said he made it by 1 seconds though - but however, it was due to that strange rule that Sagan made the cut in the end

The difference in position is big. But the difference in movement was even more obvious. He moves far less than at Belkinfail

An excellent type of tt get a real mix with the overall and stage hunters, the 25km plus tts just not worth the pain for most riders.

I actually don't see a difference

Really? he sits much deeper

Re:

Not really.

People seem to forget that Mollema rode better TT's in 2013 then he does right now....on a Giant bike.

Bikes are not the most important part of the TT, but it sure seems that Giant makes good TT bikes and Bianchi does not.
