LRP is gonna lose about a minute today, I think.

More like 45 seconds

Katusha fastest at first intermediate - heheh.

Super Zak!

Katusha is also a rocket launcher

They are just cruising at 60 Km/h

Politt, Goncalves and a full sprint train plus Zaka on good TT bikes, they don't have anyone to support him in the mountains, but a lot of firepower for the TTT.

Yeah, they went under the radar a bit in the discussions before this stage. Looking at the riders they have in this race though, they are definitely capable to put in this performance. But yeah, a bit of a surprise.

Don't forget Dowsett. Indeed a strong team, flying quite a bit under the radar on the forum when looking at the corresponding thread...

UAE better than Movistar!
But their performance was expected TBH.

With Cancelaru everything is possible.

 

[Rollthedice]

LRP awful.

 

[F_Cance]

lost one rider early due to a mechanical and Skujins is ill. So the bad time isn't that surprising. Would be a bit less bad without this bad luck.

Re:

57 seconds -- not good.

 

[Rollthedice]

Sputnics lost a bit of steam in the end.

Just the same old bad luck, bad position etc etc.

Rohan marshalling BM for Nibali

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Oh Simon . . .

 

[Salvarani]

Stupid mistake from Yates going so slow after his turn and not getting on the wheel on the last rider. They cant wait for him.

 

[Rollthedice]

TBM in line with Sunweb and MS, first check.

 

[KZD]

Simon is just in the Tour to help Adam in the mountains.
Bahrein going really strong.

 

[70kmph]

Tour is Over ?

A Wanty rider on a road bike :lol:

Mitchelton bad
