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

[Trunnions]

These longer TTs are terrific. Can't you just feel your quads tiring too?

 

[goggalor]

Martin by 25"!

 

[Marcus135]

Tony Martin slaughtering this part of the course also 25 seconds faster.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tony Martin

Amazing 2nd split time

 

[roundabout]

Surprising that it's only 25 seconds after 40km

 

[Gloin22]

Hmm, just 25 secs faster than Rogers. Last year that would be a minute at this point though

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Froome wins the Olympic race.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

David Millar also with an awesome final corner

 

[will10]

Millar nearly ditches his new P5

Did not expect more from the awesome one.
wish Kash had done better though

 

[JimPanzen]

Wiggins

But Wiggins is a bit taller. I don't know, but biomechanics are an interesting thing for sure

 

[doperhopper]

the french saying Tony took 58x11 for today

 

[Trunnions]

Wiggins

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

 

[Publicus]

so I guess Martin has the diesel warmed up now

 

[Lanark]

Hmm, just 25 secs faster than Rogers. Last year that would be a minute at this point though

The same difference as it was at the first time split. But Rogers seems to be doing really well, can't really rate Martin's time untill Wiggins and Evans have passed.

 

[roundabout]

Same time between checks 1 and 2 for MArtin and Rogers

Everytime I see those 2 names together I can only think of Iron Maiden's song "Blood Brothers". It's almost a reflex

 

[Tony Martin brute hero]

Martin not very impressive looking at the time gaps and the riders he beats at the timecheck

 

[Arnout]

Froome wins the Olympic race.

Thanks, I was planning to watch but it's not necessary apparently.

 

[trevim]

Grabsch style.

 

[will10]

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

 

[webvan]

Rodgers in much better form this year...Chavanel started out a tad fast it seems, lost 30+ to the best guys.

Let's see how the big guns cope.

 

[trevim]

the french saying Tony took 58x11 for today

Grabsch style.

 

[Trunnions]

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

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Thanks, I was planning to watch but it's not necessary apparently.

Froome vs Millar - private grief.
