it's 5km ofcourse the differences are very small. 10 seconds on 5km still means he lost 2 seconds per km and almost 1 second per km on Evanscineteq said:Placing is irrelevant.

lol....
Dekker_Tifosi said:? JvdB actually did much better prologues than that. Unlike his long ITT's his prologues where almost always very good.
This is actually one of his slower prologues.
Too bad CQ is down or I would have posted some examples
No no and no, see above. Long ITT will tell us more. Like I said JvdB has done better prologues.

You clearly lack every form of perspective
You're such a joke. You start with placing and now you say the course is too short. You clearly always look for excuses.Dekker_Tifosi said:it's 5km ofcourse the differences are very small. 10 seconds on 5km still means he lost 2 seconds per km and almost 1 second per km on Evans

But I guess distance is irrelevant to you as well. LOL

Be accountable.
Logic-is-your-friend said:lol, not really. He has never sucked as much at prologues, that's true. But to say he did "much better" would insinuate he ever came close enough to winning one (and i'm talking about the last 4 to 5 years). And my remark was first and foremost based on his statement that he wouldn't be "up there" in the Dauphiné.
