Re:

i looked on the map though and it seems another route,different to 2009. am i right?

i believe tom domoulin will scorch the earth today and win overall. gonna cheer for him

I trust your predictions as ever and today I really hope you are right!

Re: Re:

Normally Domoulin should be able to get 40 seconds on Thomas shouldn't he!? But I fear that Thomas pulls out a goofy performance and wins TdS actually!

Hard to tell if his last three days of grabbing seconds is out of strength or insecurity.

It could come down to seconds obviously so I think it makes sense. The fact he did so well on the MTF finish and the 2nd stage do not suggest he is out of strength. Maybe the mtf still hurt his legs though.

Not to contradict what you said but for some added info, Thomas said after the MTF that he had the legs to follow Pinot's attack but had never gone full gas (certainly for his own benefit) on a MTF and was worried about altitude issues.

Re:

In 05 Freire won T-A. Cancellara winning Suisse is fine.

Cancellara also won T-A.
Cancellara also won 5000 million days in yellow at the tour. Having a guy like Fabian on the palmares only elevates the race.

Go Pinot and Reichenbach.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I think Dumoulin will win the time trial but much closer than anticipated. I especially doubt that he can take enough time on Thomas or Spilak. Even Pinot is pretty hard

 

[Jan the Man]

I agree with Dekker Tifosi.

I think Dumolin will win the time trial. It will be difficult, but not impossible, for him to overtake GT and Pinot.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Spilak may surprise as well.

If I had to put money on it my final GC will look as follows -

1. Pinot
2. Dumolin
3. Thomas

However I am not confident at all and think that the GC gaps at the end will be very close.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Cancellara quite a lot better than Brandle...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Malori pips by 3s Cancellara at 21km mark by

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah Cancellara isn't going to win

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

Compared to the time he did in 2009 on a more difficult course (i think), Fabian's time seems extremely poor. I expect guys like Dumoulin to be 3 minutes faster than that, and Sagan 30s faster than Tom.

lol what are you blabbing about again. if you honestly think dumoulin, world class itt rider will have problems taking 1:20 in nearly 40 km you have completely lost it. would make pinot one of the best itt riders in the world

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well ok honoustly he should take at least 1'40.
But Spilak and Thomas? Hmm

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

spilak? lol show me any good itt he ever did

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Malori fading at 33km (now 13s behind Fabian)
Cameron Meyer - fast off the ramp

They shouldn't count. So easy without bonus seconds
