Re:

Is it still no rain and dry roads`?

Yes still dry, so there is chance that Froome, Pinot, ... will have and advantage if it starts raining later.

Old man Purito @ 12m38s.

lol

Sean Yates predicts the same. 11'09". He's Alberto's DS.

 

[Laplaz]

Purito really really bad today

 

[Samamba]

Gallopin & Rodriguez pretty bad.

Lol what? Wait and see

Fortunately I have better plans for today then waiting for an imaginary ride which puts 1 minute in to Adam Yates (and 90 seconds in to Jrod - double lol) in a 4k hill climb.

 

[Arredondo]

Purito is always under par at the beginning of Dauphiné.

And a mountain ITT doesn't lie.

Alberto put 50s into Yates on the climb in the Pais Vasco ITT.

Balaphilippe still hot! 12m00s, best time so far.

 

[Laplaz]

Alaphilippe 12.00

Well they all need it to even out with Contador I believe so only fair game

 

[LaFlorecita]

Is there an intermediate checkpoint?

Nope!

 

[rune1107]

Alaphillipe 12.00

 

[Brullnux]

Alaphillipe in 12', about 15 seconds quicker than I thought. I should stop making predictions, really.

 

[portugal11]

Only rain could stop contador in this prologue. He will do 11:10

 

[Miburo]

Ala doing his job as one of the outsiders. I don't think many will do better. Should be enough for top 5 i think

Wait for Froome's time first, or Pinot's. And besides, Contador may not be in full shape, it's his first race in a while now.

Pinot will not even be the first Frenchy today.

Oh come on.

Re:

Awesome. He has been missed lately.

 

[Poursuivant]

Huge gaps for a prologue, this is a serious climb.
