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

[Hugo Koblet]

Wilco great!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kelderman tries and fails for the usual Rabocrash.
Chava faster than Martin. Revolt at OPQS?

 

[spalco]

I really didn't think Durbridge would get beaten by so many guys, now it looks like he might not even make the top10 if the split times hold up. Did the wind shift so dramatically or what?

 

[cineteq]

Wilco number 1 favourite for the Tour?

Now he's to replace Gesink in the Tour

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Slow from Cadel +17

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Hmm, I don't think Evans looks very aerodynamic.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Are these shots of Tony being slowed down? It looks terrible for some reason.

 

[therhodeo]

Chava killing this or just setting splits?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans 4th at 17 seconds

 

[doperhopper]

Sylvain "Tornado" Chavanel

 

[roundabout]

VDB is still doing very well.

I don't see the problem. A top-10 in a Dauphiné time trial is a very good result for a neo-pro. The field is fantastic here. Many a world championship has less time trialists in good shape.

 

[DenisMenchov]

JVDB +37 at 2nd chrono

 

[Mellow Velo]

Decent from Evans.
Froome on the charge.
VDB 2 pretty fair.

 

[will10]

JVDB is doing an awesome ride.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

VDB is still doing very well.

He'll finish just in or out the top 10 thereabouts.

 

[therhodeo]

Evans position doesn't look great.

 

[roundabout]

I don't know why, but Evans doesn't look that great

Sure. It's just that I was much more impressed by his time than apparently I should have been.

 

[goggalor]

Evans 17" down and Wiggo at 11".

 

[Mellow Velo]

Wiggins 11 seconds down.
Froome 2nd.

 

[Trunnions]

David Millar looking worth an Olympic GB Team slot?

 

[TeoSheva]

Wiggins 3rd

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Pretty ordinary for wiggins

 

[Havetts]

Kelderman faster than Froome!!!!
