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

[Red Rick]

the french saying Tony took 58x11 for today

Wasn't there a bet between Grabsch and Martin about who would find a shop selling a 60 front ring first?

 

[El Pistolero]

Reckon Bradley getting the slow down message in his ear-piece?

Yes, the only reason Wiggins could ever lose a race is if he does it on purpose.

 

[Publicus]

Is Wiggins about to catch Evans? Or is that Grivko?

 

[JimPanzen]

Brajkovic has always been a good TTer since U23. Regular battles with Turbo Diesel

I know, I didn't say it comes out of the blue. But he's not the guy you would expect to push high watt numbers on the flat. It's just intersting.

 

[spalco]

Wiggins doesn't really look comfortable to me, lots of movement on the bike (by his standards) and swerving from side to side on the road.

Aerodynamics plays a big part in it. Brajkovic is about as aero as you can get.

You call that a chainring?

THIS is a chainring

Evans is the rider who started ahead of Wiggins.

 

[goggalor]

Evans a minute down. Ouch. No water bottle maybe?

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Low frontal area, narrow shoulders, good position etc...

Stupid haircut...

 

[Arnout]

Evans looks uncomfortable today for some reason.

 

[Gloin22]

Same time between checks 1 and 2 for MArtin and Rogers

Indeed, so his time isn't really that mind blowing.

I noticed that earlier. Even looked like his hips weren't square on the saddle.

That's a new one. I had never heard of that. But to me Grabsch is the man for it

All about W/CdA. Being anorexic skinny like Janez certainly helps the drag numbers.

Indeed, so his time isn't really that mind blowing good.

1st Time split

Evans 1' late so it could be him...yep

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Wiggo Boom.

Absolutely destroying those *****es.

 

[will10]

Wiggins!!!!!!


That is astonishing!!!

 

[Marcus135]

Evans looks uncomfortable today for some reason.

He has had no water since KM 4 or so, he sweats a huge amount, it will be affecting him a huge amount by now.

 

[goggalor]

Holy **** Wiggo. That's ridiculous. Must be in superb shape.

9. EVANS Cadel 11 BMC RACING TEAM 00:49:54 00:01:01



Wiggins DESTROYS Martins time

 

[webvan]

Wow, Evans going to be crying tonight

 

[will10]

Wiggo only 25 seconds down on Cadel on the road. Go get him Brad!!
