The Hitch said:what about fignon. He was in the yellow jersey. Last it in the final tt though. There was no "on a good day ye can do anything" magic for him. No. The reality was lemond was the better tter.
Willy_Voet said:I think the OP was talking about 'being professional'. These days folks don't lose yellow jerseys in final TTs. They do what it takes.
scribe said:Berto already knows all this. He might be the superior TTler by far, but he attacked Shrek's mechanical out of fear.
Ryaguas said:I'm with Moose... is this serious???
In all his career he has lost time in TT... now you can't expect that Andy is not going to lose time in the TT just cuz he is a "Pro rider"... is like I've never been good in math and now just cuz I have a yellow jersey or I'm "PRO" I will be Einstein... come on guys... be serious... you can't be such a fanboy...
LugHugger said:Er.....
2010 TdF Prologue, 8.9 km, 18 days ago. Time differential - 36 seconds.
So much for Schlecklets TT ability.....
Final ITT - 52 kms.
Anybody care to speculate on Saturday's time differential?
