2019 Giro d'Italia stage 9: Riccione - San Marino 34.7km ITT

[Brullnux]

I hadn't noticed until now, but Movistar have really reached peak Unzue this giro. They should be able to keep the prestigious fastest team awrad until the end of the giro, with maybe even three placings between 5th and 15th

Landa living up to the hype.

Both Nibali and Yates don't look particularly happy!

 

[Brullnux]

The last wet TT in the giro was awful, all the favourites finished within about 20s of each other, but guess who came first, two minutes ahead of them? Primoz Roglic. Sure, he did it when it was still dry, but that was also the ninth stage...

 

[Rollthedice]

Pozzo climbed well.

 

[Climbing]

The new best TT'er is off, hide you babies!
Edit: rofl Astana boys having a laugh!

 

[Rollthedice]

Vincenzo starts.

Pretty sure he would have liked good weather, there are a lot of technical parts.
Off he goes, GOGO Nibbles!

 

[HelloDolly]

Its drying out so will favour Roglic better

 

[Brullnux]

pretty good from Ulissi, I don't think Campanaerts time will stand but it should be close.

Somebody said that Landa was already on the road. Havent seen him once. Too bad he really is not a TT rider.

Ten minutes won't have a particularly big effect imo.

 

[Amazinmets87]

The 2015 ITT where Contador put minutes into his GC competitors wasn't particularly dry...

wobble from Yates

Re:

I feel like the commentary made that into a much bigger deal than it was.

 

[IndianCyclist]

MAL bad

 

[Laplaz]

Puncture for MAL

Nibali took that corner a lot better, it could mean something over the course of 50 minutes.

 

[Rollthedice]

59 sec l. Down Nibali first check, 31 sec better than MAL.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Nibali will win this TT

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yates faster than Nibali at split one

I know the weather is bad but that isn't great, same time as Pozzo who was barely trying
