VAN AERT CRAZY

Re:

There are different reports about the extent of Chris Froome injuries. L'equipe indicated a broken pelvis, Brailsford a broken femur. Both demand a slow recovery, I doubt he will compete again this season.

Worst part is... it could be both…

Anyway: WvA is fast.

 

[Red Rick]

Meanwhile a man must wonder why the hell we're seeing PhilGil all the time

 

[JosephK]

What the Wout?!!! We knew he was strong, but this is uber strong!

 

[sir fly]

Impressive ride by Van Aert.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

That's... Pretty good from Van Aert.

 

[Simurgh]

46 seconds faster than Dumoulin, wow

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Amazing that they have absolutely no idea what Van Aert is capable of, he wasn't filmed once during his ride except for the fixed camera's.

Re:

46 seconds faster than Dumoulin, wow

Tremendous time, although Dumo is far from his best today. Several riders I think will beat Tom D. on today's TT.

 

[Lequack]

Is he the favorite to win the Tour ITT now?

 

[woodburn]

Is Van Aert going to be a GT contender?

 

[Simurgh]

Kruijswijk doing allright - 3rd at +48''

Re:

If he loses 10 kg, sure.

 

[woodburn]

Yates +8
Porte +14

Re:

As long as the GT contains hills no longer than 2 km...
He's a Watts machine, so northern classics and time trials: yes; mountains: no.

 

[Bushman]

Van Aert did an amazing ride, sure, but it’s clear that Dumoulin is not in top shape. 2 seconds is front of Kruijswijk and 12 in front of Alaphillippe.

 

[scapewalker]

Am i right to assume WvA probably spent like 10% of time on tt bike compared to your average pro as a junior?

 

[Simurgh]

Porte uninspiring +1'18''

 

[Rollthedice]

LRP slightly better than Dan Martin.

 

[Oliver]

Poels not so good halfway. Ineos will have no one else to win the Dauphiné

 

[shalgo]

TJ is VG.

 

[Simurgh]

Bardet actually surprising me with only +1'52'' - had expected worse, but perhaps I just still remember that horrible Marseille TT

 

[scapewalker]

Looks like they are all going faster at the end of the field.

Maybe the wind...

 

[Laplaz]

Pinot not too good unfortunately

For somebody who thinks of winning Tour de France it is still bad.
