Re: Re:

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

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

I meant after the finish. They just randomly started riding through town.

Vervaeke gets the pink mountain jersey (fastest on the climb) and the white best youngster jersey.

I saw some team buses down that road. Perhaps theirs was as well.

Quintana is a fuoriclasse, really

Jep, great to see this guy performing like a champ!

Thanks cyclingnews, had no idea Kwiat went back to Etixx after LBL

Quintana's TTs are getting better and better...

Re:

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

Well he had some bad luck with the weather. It'll be ok for the rest of the week I guess

Re:

Seeing the Inter split gives you a better idea, ofc the weather was bad of the descent but he seem to be climbing very well, rather than being awesome on the flat.

He also seems to be willing to take risks on the descents. He had by far the best time of the late starters. Froome's descent however was...

Hopefully he'll take the longer TT.

 

[Publicus]

Anyone have the full list of intermediate times? I'd like to see how the late starters compared to each other

Maybe he feels he has to.

I wonder what the reference is for his original mediocre TT.

Re: Re:

The cook will be happy with the cheese.

On a more serious note, I am happy Vervaeke is performing well this season.

He's a diminutive Spaniar.. I mean Columb.. I mean Colombian.

 

[May0maniac]

Kelderhamster crashed and still finished only 33sec down, that's not too shabby.

 

[May0maniac]

The weather should be ok on the next 2 few day, rather cold but sunny.
It could once again be a problem on Saturday, rain and maybe even a bit of snow on the mountains.

[Tank Engine]

Those are big gaps after a prologue thanks to the crazy, changeable conditions. Some of the big GC guys lost time and some dark horses are well placed. That could make it a very interesting/strange race. I only saw the last few riders and Nairo did a great ride.

 

[TMP402]

Another sign of Astana's new GC hope, Rosa's progress.

 

[Gigs_98]

I have no idea if tomorrows stage is really flat or actually pretty difficult, hard to judge from the profiles. Depending on which is the case either Kittel or Gerrans ftw.

Four categorized climbs. It's too hard for Kittel. It's probably Gerrans territory, but Albasini will probably have something to say about that.

 

[SafeBet]

Albasini's usual superpeak at Romandie so everybody will be working for him at Orica, I believe.
