Re:

Porte has a decent chance of gaining time from Froome.

Maybe this is the year he finishes on the podium?

Would be incredible if he can finish on the podium with the others having a 1:45 headstart

 

[Asero831]

Daniel Martin also losing time

I once read that Mollema tried two different university degrees and failed to complete either of them before gambling it all on a cycling career.

Physics disagrees

Re: Re:

No time check for JRod?

15'12

That's quite good, if you look at riders like Henao, Meintjes and Barguil (similair characteristics)

Only problem is the first section is uphill which is good for him.

It's the same for the riders i mentioned

 

[MartinGT]

Thomas going well

I think TGM has a bachelors' degree in something like economics.

This may seem quite petty, but it annoys me in the light of yesterday.

Quintana is starting, and there's a kid who's clapping, and looking right into the camera, with his back to Quintana.

So you're bothering to go and watch the TT, and when one of the main contenders actually comes by, you're more interested in getting on TV.

No wonder cycling has spectator problems. If there was a way to focus on cycling rather than getting on tv (maybe blurring out faces?) things like yesterday would be far less likely to happen. As we'd have real fans, who know how to behave.

the Dawg not liking his front wheel

Re: Re:

There will be in an hour or so

Haha, I fancy Porte to catch him here.

Well, Rodriguez started after Porte so that would be impossible.

V Garderen 11th 14:53..

Carlton Kirby: "Bauke Mollema, sounds like he was named underwater", goes on to pronounce Bauke Mollema with an underwater bubbling noise.

 

[SeriousSam]

There aren't many real fans. Most people who go to sports events just want to have a good time there, take a few selfies, perhaps get on TV.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Porte only 12th at 2nd check, 27.04

 

[Bumeington]

Porte +1'08 at second check, good prediction D_T!

 

[rick james]

nice bit with Quintana there with Endura, wonder if he came to Scotland for it

Blasphemy.

 

[dgodave]

Wow. Look at those trees bending in the wind.

 

[Big Doopie]

valverde to take over leadership of movistar...(?)

 

[Jungle Cycle]

D.Martin not using full disk...

 

[burning]

I am expecting a second Mont Saint Michel TT from Dawg, I hope that I won't get disappointed

I wonder what the reasons are for not stopping him from commentating about cycling.

Or commentating about anything else for that matter

 

[woodburn]

If Froome is anywhere near Dumoulin, he'll be up 3 minutes on everyone.
