Publicus said:Just a horrible comparison here. Go back and look at the profile for the Annecy ITT in 2009. There's a lovely Cat 3 climb in the middle.
TANK91 said:Yeh you should have seen the Giro that your fav rider won then.
robow7 said:And yea, it was such hilly profile that Cancellara (the incredible climber that he is) beat all the rest other than AC by a couple of seconds.
All results should be looked at in relation to how others finished.
Carols said:My electric went out just when Berto went down the ramp...no router, no tv!
I've been on pins and needles. Actually Very Pleased he only lost 2 mins! It could have been much worse. There is still Hope he will find some form!!!
How did he look on the bike?
LaFlorecita said:Yes because Valverde is a loser. Champions don't ride for second place because everyone will forget about anything but the winner in 5 years time.
Publicus said:He looked a heckuva lot better than at the Dauphine. He was getting blown around quite a bit by the cross-head/tail wind on the last two-third. He seems confident despite coughing up another 2' to the Alien.

Miburo said:You're wrong, second place is as important as first place in this tour.
TANK91 said:So Miburo, La Flo, Carol and Jelantik are you happy with today? I thought he was better for sure, it don't say aloto be beat by Mollema but he has defo improved hasn't he.
robow7 said:If the past few years are any indication, second place often ends up becoming 1st place.
