2015 Vuelta Stage 17 : Burgos - Burgos ITT 39 km

[TMP402]

1.BODNAR M. TCS in 47' 05'' 49.32 km/h
2.BAGDONAS G. ALM in 49' 22'' at 2' 17'' 47.04 km/h
3.HOWSON D. OGE in 49' 32'' at 2' 27'' 46.88 km/h

So Howson would still be 2nd even if he hadn't crashed.

Cummings goes fastest at the first intermediate.

 

[BigMac]

Terpstra not doing very well.

Such a corny pun.

Re: Re:

The big day is here . Did Purito get the right combo of rest, riding and mental motivation to put in a great ITT? I hope so. It would be awesome if he is only 20 or so seconds behind after today. I'd love to see him take down this Vuelta. There is plenty of time for Dumoulin and Aru to win GTs in the future. Puritos' time is drawing to a close, go get it!!!!

Take it to the Clinic, Carol

LOL absolutely nothing clinic related! Purito has been known to be blocked post rest day so I hope he did it right this time.

He's been giving a magic show though

Re: Re:

how is the wind?

18km/h blowing from SW with gusts up to 36km/h. Not foreseen to change during the stage

good news for Dumoulin. More wind the better for him

 

[BigMac]

That's just amazing, thanks for sharing, Flamin.

 

[SafeBet]

Cummings lost almost 48 seconds to Bodnar in the second part.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Cummings 35s slower that Bodnar at 27 km.

 

[damian13ster]

Bodnar said that he will take it easy on the first part and advised Majka to do the same. Bodes well, Kiryienka just 8sec ahead

Bloody Marvelous, thanks for the gales of laughter .

Now hopefully he has a magical ride today!

Hope that guy put some magic in his TT bike for today. Purito is just a great guy, unfortunately chances are slim he'll ever win a GT.

 

[BigMac]

With Oliveira going down the ramp just after Lulu, I fear we won't get pictures of the latter. :'(

 

[damian13ster]

Kiryienka 23s behind Bodnar!

 

[Flamin]

Bodnar really smoked that 2nd downhill-ish part.

 

[Ataraxus]

There is increased wind speed between sector 1 and sector 2 apparently

 

[Flamin]

Re:

That could explain some things.

 

[damian13ster]

Re:

Yeah. Only 1s better on the last part than Cummings. Will be tight between him and Belarusian, but I think Bodnar got it

 

[BigMac]

That technical part doesn't really favour Kiryienka's brute force.

 

[Winnen]

Re: Re:

At Chaves level according to that Dutch professor

So TD will be almost 4 minutes faster

Did anyone see which gear Bodnar and Kiryienka where pushing?

 

[SafeBet]

What happened to Cam Meyer? He lost more than three minutes in the last part.

 

[StannisBaratheon]

This stage will witness the birth of a new cycling legend

 

[BigMac]

G 27 seconds down on Cummings on 1st chrono split.
