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

[Publicus]

Mick Rogers new best time.

While Porte goes through the 2nd check point at 1'41"

 

[wirral]

Who's bright idea was it to have the finale include freaking speed bumps???

Inspired by the Giro, the organisation discovered crashes at the final corner boost ratings.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Richie Porte far off the pace at 1:41. Weird

edit: amador collapsed as well. now 1:20 behind

 

[Trunnions]

Injured Daniel Martin finished 30 seconds ahead of AS!

 

[Gloin22]

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

Think same. No point going with all capable riders in the TT imo.

 

[goggalor]

I guess Porte doesn't want to go the olympics.

 

[roundabout]

Well, here's Martens within sight. SHould be a pretty good time for the brute hero at check 2

 

[spalco]

Why's Martin constantly looking down at his handlebars, isn't that un-aerodynamic?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I wonder if Rodgers will ever find the ITT form that made him a triple (?) World Champion...

Well if he found that, he would face a two year ban a little later

found some back it would seem.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Chava dropping away, 2nd at point 2.

 

[Trunnions]

Froome 1 sec slower than Millar @2.

 

[Publicus]

Chavanel is continuing to hold his own. Only 4" back at 2nd checkpoint

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Chavanel is weakening!! 4 seconds slower than Rogers and only 5 seconds faster than Kelderman now.

Chavanel lost 9 seconds to Kelderman already too

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

How has the Astana guys done? (Kash)

 

[TeoSheva]

Chavanel slower than Kelderman in the middle part...

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Chavanel slower at 2nd time check

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Chavanel is continuing to hold his own. Only 4" back at 2nd checkpoint

No, he is weakening. Just compare the time he lost to Rogers, but also Kelderman.

Holding your own is something else.

 

[Gloin22]

How has the Astana guys done? (Kash)

35. KASHECHKIN Andrey 27 ASTANA PRO TEAM 01:07:51 00:03:28
36. VINOKOUROV Alexandre 21 ASTANA PRO TEAM 01:08:01 00:03:3

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Get on Sylvain Chavanel at 150/1 - each way bet with Bet365. If he finishes 2nd or 3rd then you still get odds of 50/1 against your stake.

That is great value.

now looking good

 

[JimPanzen]

How a skinny dude like Brajkovic can deliver such a descent ITT always makes me wonder.

 

[Marcus135]

Evans has not had water since the first few kilometers, with the amount he is sweating that must be starting to take its toll.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Super impressive by kelderman
Excited to see if he can keep a high place at the end of the race

Wiggins

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Tony now killing it.

20-30 seconds in front.

 

[will10]

Martin fastest at split 2
