2019 Critérium du Dauphiné stage 4 ITT 26.1 km Roanne

[Simurgh]

Thibaut bad +34'' already

 

[woodburn]

Nice ride for TJ.

 

[JosephK]

TJ 16 seconds better than Tom D. Great ride for TJ, but it gives you an idea that Tom is off his form. Hopefully, his doctors will get that splinter out of his knee.

I really think the wind conditions changed.


Even Buchmann going as fast as Big T

It's possible, but Porte was slow while riding at the same time as Buchmann. I think it is just that Dumoulin is still recovering from his injury and isn't in top form.

 

[woodburn]

Porte really died in the second half. Maybe mechanical or something?

Re: Re:

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

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

Indeed - but those days are long over, I'm afraid.

Meanwhile Fuglsang is doing pretty okay!

French director thinks G Martin is going to take yellow i suppose?

Surely Teuns is going to crush Martin in this TT.

 

[yetiyeti]

Wow.... just tuning in and Froome is out for the Tour with a fractured femur. That's a huge impact on the Tour.

Van Aert crushed it.... so impressive.

 

[Rollthedice]

Awful Martin.

Surely Teuns is going to crush Martin in this TT.

Not to mention that both Lutsenko and Fuglsang are on pace to finish far ahead of Martin on GC today.

[Hugo Koblet]

Geez. Pinot just has one of the worst styles in the peloton. Both on his ITT bike and his regular bike.

 

[Simurgh]

Yates or Fuglsang in yellow after today

 

[woodburn]

Looks like Fuglsang can take yellow if he can hold it.

 

[Simurgh]

Fuglsang must be less than 1'00 slower than Van Aert to take yellow

 

[Simurgh]

Thibaut a bit disappointing

 

[happytramp]

Is WVA the new Seán Kelly? Bunch sprinter, TT winer, and who knows what else?

 

[Simurgh]

Nairo rather bad +1'35'' - Fuglsang in virtual yellow!!

 

[WKA311]

Yates in yellow. Dissapointing TT from Fuglsang.

Re:

What are you talking about?

It's one of his best TTs in years - he is not a usual suspect in the top 10 of a TT.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Fuglsang in Full Song now closing on AYates

 

[Alexandre B.]

Teuns almost saved the jersey.

 

[shalgo]

Teuns so close; 4 seconds behind Yates.
