Majka also with a bad position, huge gap between head and handle bars

Re:

I have an impression that Aru and Purito started more enthusiastically than Dumoulin.
It's reasonable to be cautious. It's been exhausting race so far.

Dumoulin usually has a very strong last part.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Current top intermediates

 

[Bumeington]

Meintjes 1'10 down at first check oh dear

Re: Re:

Tom's position on the bike is amazing, hes like a bullet.

Hiding the head well - look at JRod his head in way above the body, Aru looks like he's done some TT training

Specialized wind tunnel in the winter.

 

[fauniera]

What's surprising about that? He is a tiny climber.

Re:

Time trials in grand tours really need something like a virtual head to head using GPS

Every once in a while they do have exactly that.
It's almost always terribly inaccurate and misleading. That's why it's not always used

 

[LaFlorecita]

lets hope the red jersey will bring purito more luck than in 2011

Or 2010 which was an all time awful time trial for a leaders jersey.

He's also obviously lost a Giro jersey on the time trial. Today will be 4 (is that a record).

Amazingly he somehow managed to hold on comfortably in 2012. Yeah I know it was a hilly tt but still.

Comfortably = by 1s (IIRC)

Majka also with a bad position, huge gap between head and handle bars

Looks bad indeed. Windtunnel test sometimes show that certain positions that don't look ideal for a TT are better for that rider.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

moreno 50 sec down on first intermediate. Piti 19 sec down

In the 2011 Vuelta he was already second +1sec to Dan Martin before the TT. So this is the 3rd time really.

Noo, I hate GPS in a ITT, it kills the suspension, I only want to know the gaps at the timechecks.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Rodriguez looks horrible.

Re:

Dropdead awful position on that thing from Purito.

 

[sir fly]

Purito should really work on his position.
Looks like he's on the bars only because they've put it on the bike. He'd rather hold the drops.

 

[bajbar]

Majka is already 45 seconds down on Domoulin.

 

[TomLPC]

TD is killing it! 1st by 9s at 17k

 

[Gigs_98]

Dumoulin leads.

 

[Billie]

first time for Dumoulin at first check

Re:

Yep, awful position. If you're not good at time trials, surely you should work extra hard to hold the best possible position.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Purito would be faster walking tbh

 

[Carols]

Duloulin looks Awesome!!!!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dumoulin 9 seconds faster than Oliveira even

 

[Afrank]

Dumoulin meanwhile seems to be motoring along pretty well. 1st at the first intermediate.
