Critérium du Dauphiné 2012 stage 4, 53.5km, Villié-Morgon-Bourg-en-Bresse, ITT

Eddie just over 1min behind. Looks like Turbo didn't slow down at all in the final 15km.

Just thinking Wiggins could catch Evans here if he has a great ride and Evans has an average one

Thank you

Your expectations for Durbridge and Van Garderen were pretty low, I seem to remember from somewhere upthread...

Have any of the big guns started yet? No.

And I haven't said what you said. I only said I can't see Durbridge winning and neither Van Garderen. Top 5 at best. "pretty low" would mean i expect them outside the top 10 or something which I never did. Your conclusions are faulty

You implied Van Garderen's result in the Dauphine TT was due to a weak field. He was 4th then, might very well do the same today.

That would mean at least 2/3 big guns would disappoint. We'll see.

As an example, a flat 30mile/50km* time trial could be won in 1 hour exactly. Adding 25% on, gives (60/4) 15 minutes extra to get to the finish. 30 miles(50kms) done in 1:15 gives an average speed of 24mph/40kph.

Its mountain time trials which are harder, for instance the steep Plan de Corones TT in the Giro 2008 was done after several hard days in the mountains, and 6 guys couldnt make it up in time.

*Not a direct conversion but rounded numbers are easier.

Thanks for that quick tutorial.

The link reads like a rogues gallery eh?
Signores Ricco, Di Luca, and Pelizotti!

fast finish by old man Hincapie

 

[deValtos]

Are there any streams up just yet ? I can't find any myself.

 

[Woody22]

Oh, it's okay everyone. Bruyneel has just stated that Andy's time was due to "bad luck".

Nothing to worry about.

Eurosport finally.

Eurosport finally.

Eurosport actually broadcast this? There's tennis going on!

 

[Woody22]

Kelderman!!!!

 

[Fetisoff]

Kelderman fastest at 1st check???

 

[GazelleFormula]

holy ****, what is Kelderman doing?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Andy's **** is showing. That was a hard fall

 

[hatcher]

Implosion coming?

 

[Gloin22]

Wow. Dekker Tifosi to go CRAZY

 

[classicomano]

Wow TMWK tearing it up!

They just showed Andy finishing.

Amazing bikehanding in the last 50 yards - I would not be able to keep a bike upright going that slowly.

 

[will10]

Wow Kelderman, let's see if he can keep it up

 

[theyoungest]

Maybe the wind changed. Lots of fast times suddenly (of course, also by good riders, but still...)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LOL Kelderman

He is blowing himself up

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Maybe the wind changed. Lots of fast times suddenly (of course, also by good riders, but still...)

That would still mean Kelderman is riding faster than Kyrienka who just started ~10 mins in front of him or Van Garderen 15 mins.
Can't be all wind

But ofcourse he is blowing himself up now
