Nah. It's soft climbs. Tony Martin is better on climbs like this than the actual climbers.Taxus4a said:Jack_89 said:I'm not so sure that will eventually change the position. There are still five days, there is time to recover
And then we know him , often spreads nice lies![]()
Today a pro rider told me that a friend of him saw Contador on TV spanish program with crutches, after to be 4 hours trining... It is his way, he say now he will lose aerodinamic...for sure he wont, it is just the same theatre than ever, becouse from tomorrow onwards that illness is totally the past.
He said as well the clims are very soft, where both of them has sections plus than 10 %.. of course is not an ITT for climbers, it is ideal for Tony Martin, but the climbs are not soft.
Red Rick said:Secret masterplan is obviously to dislocate the other shoulder too in order to unlock the new superhuman tt position, allowing him to put minutes into his opponents
That is some BS... that was like 2 days afterwards. Sorry Taxus, I don't believe you (or the pro rider or his friend)Taxus4a said:Jack_89 said:I'm not so sure that will eventually change the position. There are still five days, there is time to recover

good post ray. people just can't admit Berto is awesome.ray j willings said:Contador, what a liar, I mean here we have a rider who comes down quite hard and injures his shoulder,mentions in a interview that he will have to change his TT position so he will be more comfortable
What a bastard. I mean Porte and Aru's heads will be spinning, just how many cm's will Bertie move his arms on the bars![]()
You cheeky Bertie haters.

Probably. Top 3 in GC I guess.SeriousSam said:Did Bert get a helicopter ride like Porte?
I did not spot Alberto in pictures of the T-S team bus during the transfer, and GT organizers often organize helicopter rides for the leaders so they don't have to spend 4 hours on the team bus.SeriousSam said:Nah Richie got one because Dave arranged one. The question is whether Oleg and Alexander did likewise.
I hope you are right, but its still long way offSeriousSam said:Great day for Contador with Porte having that mechanical. Bert's chances to keep the maglia rosa after the TT are now much better. If so, the Giro is pretty much won and he won't have to go nuclear in the mountains and can just follow Aru and Porte, out-sprinting them in last 800m like he did with Froome last year. Meaning he can save energy for the Tour.
The double is ON

Technically, if you wheelsuck "until the end" you do not win, it's a universal truth.damian13ster said:So what you are hoping for is worst win in GT history?ILovecycling said:I hope you are right, but its still long way offSeriousSam said:Great day for Contador with Porte having that mechanical.

That would be in way worse style than Wiggins in Tour de France 2012 and Contador in Vuelta 2014.
At least in those mentioned cases time was gained in individual time trial, and then there was wheelsucking until the end.
In this case it would be time gained through Team Time Trial, opponent mechanical on pancake- flat stage and then wheelsucking until the end.
Don't get your thinking at all
