Re:

Well we know if he crashes he'll be super bad for the next week.

 

[rick james]

Heavy snow...no wonder that bad bend was taking victims

 

[DNP-Old]

Nairo is in tremendous form.

 

[Bushman]

looks really slippery now. Makes Quintana's time extremely impressive.

[RedheadDane]

Uhm... where did Spilak and Majka go off to?

 

[johnymax]

Too bad the late starters had the worst conditions. Or is it good. The gaps are pretty big for a prologue. Maybe we'll see more aggressive racing.

 

[gunara]

I only saw the last 4 or 5 riders. Wow, Gorka....

Re:

Too bad Sagan is not here. Seems like this technical prolog is made just for him

I don't want to hijack this thread, but after watching the way the Ardennes were ridden... I only thought about him dropping everybody in every one of them, besides GW.

He would certainly finish LBL solo if the race wasn't ridden in a different way. If Matthews finished Amstel in the front group, he would certainly finish way way ahead of him and maybe even exploded Gilbert's pet muur.

Small crash at the start

Someone post the video :-DD

Spilak +22 in the snow, Zakarin +30 in good weather. It's clear who is the Katusha leader here

 

[CheckMyPecs]

LRP not even in the top 100. I know the weather was a factor, but still...

Re:

Spilak 36th, 22s down.
Majka 68th, 27s down

Re:

It was snowing and raining for the last guys. They all had to go a little slower. Spilak was around 5'55", Majka was around 6'00".

they both had some of the worst conditions

 

[BigMac]

Haha, that was such a brain fart. Somehow even funnier at 2 fps.

 

[sir fly]

Movi has discovered the secret tt formula...
The prologue results could've hardly been better for the rest of the race.

 

[SafeBet]

Tommy D again second in the prologue. Giant can't win this season
