[Gloin22]

Who will be able to beat Sky in TDF TTT ??

No-one.

Becasue there isn't any

 

[Delicato]

Who will be able to beat Sky in TDF TTT ??

Noone, simply because there won't be TTT.

 

[The Hitch]

So which is it?

I think it's about as expected unless you have some *** quote about Nibali as a signature.

lol

10 char.

 

[Tony Martin brute hero]

Not a good sign that Martin has'nt caught Martens yet...

OPQS aren't exactly slouches in the TT.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Taaramae loses 4 minutes. Still a long way from his old level

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Voeckler loses 4'38 as well.

 

[Fetisoff]

Who will be able to beat Sky in TDF TTT ??

Euskaltel. (in 2020)

Two minute gaps remember.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Looking at the times. It's only Rogers who accelerated in part 2 and Froome

Millar and Sanchez can't keep up

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Millar & Froome very tight in the Olympic also-ran battle.

Personally I'd expect an in-form Nibali to be top 20 in an ITT like this.

 

[Publicus]

Are we sure that's not Leipheimer?

 

[trevim]

13. PIRES Bruno 146 TEAM SAXO BANK 01:06:26 00:01:49
20. NAVARRO Daniel 141 TEAM SAXO BANK 01:07:01 00:02:23

So.... Is Saxo Bank picking up some WT points with two crushing top20 GC on the final of the race?

I have to say I'm truely impressed by Pires. Not bad.

 

[roundabout]

Personally I'd expect an in-form Nibali to be top 20 in an ITT like this.

I don't. I would say that it's too long and too flat for him.

 

[Fidolix]

Look, all Sky 1st time splits are slow if you look. Wiggo should gain later on in the TT i Think.

I also think he won't go full on today and will want to loose yellow to Martin, imho.

loooooool omg

 

[Tony Martin brute hero]

Two minute gaps remember.

Paul Martens was alreday 1 minute behind at 18 km so that implicates Martin is nog riding hard enough to really beat the best time at T2?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Are we sure that's not Leipheimer?

plus 1 ...very similar.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

No-one.

Becasue there isn't any

Good Answer

 

[Trunnions]

Millar 4th @2

 

[Publicus]

Van Den Broeck needs to lose the white gloves.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Van Den Broek biggest suprise of day for me

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Decent by Vandenbroeck, he clearly improved his time trial. Unlike Nibbs...who is still at the same level in ITT's as 2 years ago

 

[will10]

Paul Martens was alreday 1 minute behind at 18 km so that implicates Martin is nog riding hard enough to really beat the best time at T2?

44s is not one minute. And if he keeps gaining at that rate you wouldn't expect him to have caught him yet.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Porte has been asked to take the day off I assume.
