If true it's just about over But I still have some concerns about his stamina.
Nice ride today!!! Great rides by Purito and Valverde; Alberto knew the route and the riders with the exception of Froome. Now he pretty much has his number also I think
Forunculo said:He is far from his best, he did an average hilly-TT. But seems Froome is fading fast.
At least 2013 looks good with Andy, Contador and Froome at his best. The TdF 2013 course sounds to be epic from the rumours I see.
And Contador warming down
icefire said:Yeah, on Friday Degenkolb will be second for the first time in the sprint
Publicus said:I wouldn't say he's far from his best, but he's definitely not on top form. The 2013 TdF is going to be epic. In a way I feel sorry for Wiggins already.
jens_attacks said:indeed the way he went today...he looks he might be in top form in asturia or very close
definitely,not an average time trial
it wasn't contador going average but valverde,kessiakoff,intxausti going like missiles.purito too

UpTheRoad said:Why should anyone have any confidence in Andy Schleck returning to form? It was no surprise that his crash that took him out was in a TT. Granted, it was windy and technical and he may not have been the only one to crash that day, but he did everything possible to give himself the best chance of taking himself out of commission with his lack of training, lack of racing, lack of finishing racing when he did start, and lack of preparation in the TT on a TT bike.
Carols said:BTW Alberto will be wearing Combo Classification jersey tomorrow???
LaFlorecita said:but how?????
