Giro 2017, stage 10: Foligno - Montefalco 39,8km (ITT)

Re:

decent Teejay

He is not a bad time trialist (other than crashing often) but even a good result today will not fix all the other issues, therefore, his today's result is meaningless

I really hope that's not true!

It is.

Rolland was riding a nice gear :lol:

Damn. Oh well, lets see what happens.

Landa did a decent time trial

 

[TommyGun]

Landa not bad, all things considered !
I think the gaps will not be that large.

 

[HelloDolly]

Landa showing what might have been

De Kleerhanger isn't exactly the most aero dynamic tool...

Quintana in pink... wait... no pink boots? where's the pink flamingo?

Re: Re:

Gaviria crashed after 3 km but continued his TT...

Why are there so many crashes today? Is it raining?

High speed, stiff rims, bad surface here and there...
Normal for a technical tt.

Also, winds hitting over 20kph at Montefalco. Always rough on disks and TT bikes. Even rougher if you weigh 120lbs. Nairo will struggle lose 3sec/km methinks. /predicting

Quintana in pink... wait... no pink boots? where's the pink flamingo?

Stating his intent. He's not planning on keeping it.

 

[rick james]

the roads in parts are pretty chopped up...expected better

 

[TommyGun]

Geeeeeeeeeeeee !!

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Thomas flying

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Thomas is really crushing it. He should lead by at least 40 seconds at the finish, when he's already 41seconds ahead of LuLu

Bet they don't have Rhubarb Lime though!

 

[DanielSong39]

Dumoulin may have to break 51 minutes to have a good chance of getting significant time gaps against the other contenders... I don't know whether he has that in him anymore.

We may see a reverse Tony Martin transformation here, from killer time trialist to fringe GC contender and good-but-not-great time trialist.

I never stop there, its either half way up the climb or we are flying down the descent and don't want to stop as the tailwind can be too good...when the sun is out :lol: the benches outside look an amazing place for a bite and a drink

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Some nice motor pacing for Dumoulin over there...

 

[portugal11]

Big tom is risking a lot

Movistar, If you're looking that's how you make a NC jersey

go go go thibaut!

Re:

It looked more like a hindrance than a help to me.

Tom doing his thing

Nibali not in the rythm..
