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

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Impressive from Durbridge.

 

[SafeBet]

You've got to appreciate his sense of humor though. From his twitter...

"I do have the oppportunity to win a TT today though. 1st across the finish line wins right?"

He was very optimistic in any case

Yeah, great time.
Vino about to start!!!

It's a TT, what exactly are you planning to watch. All the interest is on the live timing screen, even after the TV starts/

 

[dlwssonic]

The question is will wiggins ride past evans?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Scorchio time from Kern...


And the expectations management continues. I'm guessing you think Wisconsin was good for Obama too.

Its still good to watch it on video. Better than staring at some words and numbers.

Durbridge time looking a little less blistering now Bling rolls through 30 seconds behind.

 

[LaFleur]

Schleck is about to start, lets bet, how many riders will pass him I'm gonna take a wild guess and say 5!

 

[roundabout]

Didn't he hurt his knee yesterday?

Not that he would have done a particularly good time anyway.

Well we disagree in that case - Given a choice between understanding what is happening and looking at pretty pictures, I'll take the information.

Wasn't that May?

Yes, Matt Lloyd is going to be 4 minutes faster.

Bling is actually a pretty good time trialist. He just rarely shows it.

Wasn't that May?

I remember something about him hitting the knee on the handlebars on the ticker yesterday.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

46.4kph at the 2nd check for Meyer, looks like its going to be a slow one today.

It will because of a sore throat.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Not getting much prettier from Samu - have to hope this a very injury affected performance.

 

[Frosty]

Dan Martin went 2nd off, how many will finish ahead?

Its a score draw at the moment. Travis Meyer has blazed away into the distance but Martin has scalped his minute man Gerard. Sammy Sanchez started 3 minutes behind and has made up 2:20 odd already.

Anthony Roux goes second.

Westra will go through check one in a moment.

 

[Pentacycle]

Westra 2nd at 0:13

I assume that because you don't actually watch TTs you like to draw conclusions from the numbers only, but of course there's also such a thing as motivation. And recovery. What's the use of Samu going full gas today.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Solid for Lieuw.

1hr left for departura of the best rider in this race

 

[webvan]

Westra not bad, how come Grabsch just can't perform in ITTs anymore ? Didn't he crush that World ITT a few years ago?
