Re:

Bit early to say Dennis has won with some big riders still to come. It's not like Cavagna is a world beater

Yeah 33s, but on Cavagna. Not one world class itt-er other than Dennis been on course

Yes, at 15:57 you will have your win, I think. :razz:

No I think Dennis is the main favorite and he's better than Dumoulin 9/10 times on a short course. But to say it's decided just after Dennis set his time with all favorites still to come is a bit too much. It still has to be ridden.

What is time cut on this stage?

 

[Red Rick]

Dennis might take over a minute out of some GC climbers today. Gaps are gonna be huge

Yers, maybe Dumoulin will not risk too much, his main target is much more important. So maybe Van Emden could beat Dennis time, probably nobody else.

 

[Red Rick]

Van Emden probably won't top 5 on this course. I think Dennis has this already.

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Maybe too hilly, too technical, yes.

Re: 2018 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Jerusalem - Jerusalem ITT 9

Dumoulin, Froome, Campenaerts, Van Emden are still realistically a possbility.

For the latter 2 it's maybe too hilly, but we don't know.
Froome is injured, but maybe he's still good enough (worst day is usually a day after a fall)
Dumoulin it's too short, but the hills and corners are perfect. So might still be really close.

:surprised: Siutsou broke (something in) his back?!











(No time to push the start times with Siutsou's withdrawal?)

 

[DNP-Old]

Sepulveda 3rd.

 

[RedheadDane]

Aaah, yes. "Lars Bak Ytting."

 

[Krokro]

Pinot will start in a half an hour. Coffee break.

What a great time by Conti!

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Mullen's big target of the year apparently, hoping he goes close.

[Rollthedice]

Bilbao boom!

 

[Laplaz]

Goncalves same time as Dennis at the 1st time check

 

[Krokro]

Wow Bilbao with a massive time here considering he is more of a climber, isn't he?

 

[DNP-Old]

Wtf is going on all of a sudden

 

[Rollthedice]

I think Dumo will beat Dennis.
