Well I have no clue about it, I just simply answered his question with that I read in your preview and he seems to believe it will be a fair amount slowerEshnar said:

I think Chaves might lose 20-30 seconds, though - he's more of a punchy climber who excels psychologically in 'mass start' races. Could be wrong though - afterall Garzelli won the MTT to Kronplatz a few years back.
Valverde, on a good day, could also win the ITT because it's so short.
Indeed. Nibali kept riding his own pace today and actually gained some seconds back near the summit of Valparola. He's good at pacing himself, but so is the diesel-engine Kruijswijk.SeriousSam said:

Nibs to win it
however- How much time will he gain against Kruijswijk & Chavito? Will he get to wear pink?
BTW- Valverde to claw back

Kruijswijk to crush the weak.
Nibali is also well possible since after he dropped he lost hardly any time climbing. I don't think Chaves will win (although its of course not that unlikely) but to me he just doesnt seem to be such a good diesel climber like Kruijswijk who just sets one high pace on a climb and holds it. However I could easily be completely false since I always think that a climber who also is good in flat TT's will win but at the end that usually doesnt matter at all.

This is going to be the acid test for Kruijswijk. I'd be very happy if he can win the Giro, and this is on paper the stage most suited to him

Say the first 1.8k take about 2.5 minutes (43.2kph on a false flat), then the part after that is 752m of altitude gain in about 9kms, so that's like 8.3%.
Final time Climbing time VAM (m/h)
22' 19.5' 2313.846154
23' 20.5' 2200.97561
24' 21.5' 2098.604651
25' 22.5' 2005.333333
26' 23.5' 1920
27' 24.5' 1841.632653
28' 25.5' 1769.411765
29' 26.5' 1702.641509
30' 27.5' 1640.727273
You make your guess

Well I do expect a higher VAM than usual, this is a MTT after all. Anyway I can't be as wrong as I was with the ITT, so I'm good

For the final 8.9km, so essentially the climb. Times in 2009 were aroun 27 minutes, in the first week of the Giro at the end of a short stage. However, this is the last part of the full climb, which is like 24km at 6%. Otoh, this the 2009 Giro.

Re:
Think it was high 1700, low 1800ish. However, Alpe d'Huez is like 40 to 50% longer. Altitude is the same
