[Parrulo]

shame. but i doubt he is doing any good

vilela also doing a good time trial.

andre cardoso did 23 minutes on the first time check. how far behind mestre is that?

 

[trevim]

Mestre taking 37s from Broco at km17

 

[Parrulo]

broco losing 37 secs to mestre on the first time check

also wouldn't they be better off by doing this time trial on a road bike? its always up and down and very tough climbs.

Ricardo Vilela fastest in the 2nd split. Rui Sousa 10s slower
