Eneco Tour 2012 Stage 6

[greenedge]

Durbridge, Phinney, Kwiatowski, Contador then Boonen in the top 10.

Tuft i think should also do a good ride.

 

[Kwibus]

TT isn't very long so Phinney should win this, allthough Durbridge could do this as well.
This should be pretty good for Boom as well and let's see what the OPQS guys will do. Chav, Terpstra and Kwia.

More importantly will be how Contador rides his TT

 

[bangnz]

Does anyone have a link to a timesheet?
Im looking forward to seeing what Contador can do.. Would be good to see him fully test himself

Btw some sources say 14,4 km, real confusing but eneco tour site says 17,7. So yeah let's go with that I guess

Tracing the route map shown here on Google maps confirms the longer distance.

 

[Miburo]

not TT´ieng for so long in a race will be a handicap.

I don't really agree, even though it's his first TT I don't think that will suffer so much because he has not that much rythm yet as opposed to normal stages.

Obviously i'm not a rider but I don't believe your TT ability will suffer much from it. I mean, the guy is been riding for 6 months a TT lol

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Irizar crushes the time of Boara at the split (-15s). So far Boaro holds the fastest time at the finish

 

[Der Effe]

Is there a tracker somewhere?

Well, of course it´s a handicap, you go faster in a race situation on public road than you do in training on a public road, which is where most TT´s are raced on.
It will always be different in any race situation when you compete, the setup, the closed roads, spectators etc. its just different.

 

[Samson]

Phinny crushing everyone.

 

[Red Rick]

The Great One is on his way

 

[Miburo]

Contador is on his way and we get millar on our screen the whole time, smh.

Contador seems to struggle btw

 

[Netserk]

Nice split for AC

 

[The Hitch]

Contador down by 4 seconds.

Are you ready?

 

[Antianti]

Struggle-shmuggle, third at first split!

 

[classicomano]

This is getting me really psyched for the Vuelta

 

[Miburo]

He seemed to struggle on his bike, yet again you can never tell in a TT lol

 

[Forunculo]

3rd but his position is not good

Is he testing?

 

[Antianti]

Hah, I agree he does seem to move about a lot. He commented earlier that he is riding a new bike and are using this as a test in order to make changes/adjustments.

 

[Cimber]

3rd but his position is not good

Is he testing?

Ye hé said hé is using this TT to try a new position, and try some new things ón his bike

 

[classicomano]

Nice TT from The Beast
