Giro 2011: Stage 16 Belluno - Nevegal12.7 km ITT

[Scirea]

You never saw Arroyo rode an ITT if you think that's bad by his standards.

good ride by jrod

 

[Parrulo]

wow rodrigues!!!

i know its a MTT but i was expecting him to lose a bit more time

 

[Publicus]

It was 6th, I think. Not sure of time.

35" back so 30'26" by my calculation

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rodriguez in 30:00, I expected more of him

 

[Bala Verde]

Jrod good time... 5th place?

 

[Ramira]

Slow start by Contador, seems he's conserving a bit for the climb

 

[luckyboy]

Well that bike change paid off.

 

[Tuarts]

Rodriguez makes a bike change and finishes 16 seconds down?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali went all or nothing from the start. But I think he will pay on the climb

 

[Parrulo]

contador saving energy for the climb. . .

 

[Moondance]

Contador does not go all Tony Martin over Neebs

 

[Publicus]

Slow start by Contador, seems he's conserving a bit for the climb

Definitely pacing himself for the climb. He's +13 at the time check.

 

[Bala Verde]

Well that bike change paid off.

the one that won't be x-rayed now?

Contador 7:57.. off the pace?

35" back so 30'26" by my calculation

#BertieFail, bad night in the hotel?

(Will proceed to take a minute off everyone on the climb).

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

conta + 13
nibbles has a diesel so should do well in the climb

 

[The Hitch]

Yes Contador down. On Scarponi too.

There is hope.

Arroyo rode the best ITT of his, i bet top25 is like winning for him.

He lost 1 minute to basso on Kronplatz last year which was like winning for him back then.

 

[luckyboy]

lol 'a little vulnerability in Contador'

He's 4 minutes up

 

[Ferminal]

Wow Roman 2nd.

 

[Publicus]

Nice ride by Kreuziger.

 

[will10]

very good by Kreuziger, better than expected for sure

 

[valentius borealis]

Kreuziger 2nd for now

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

very good time by Kreuziger

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kreuziger with an excellent time! Only 3 seconds slower than Garzelli
