Omg tudor developed live time checks

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna's s/min vs are higher now than in 1st ITT than in the first ITT

 

[Netserk]

Only on track to take ~1'10" on Affini. Hmm.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This TT is slowet than I thought. Still Ganna for the win

Foss looking to rebuff thief accusations with this ride

Everybody was holding something back but it was Pog who advanced from 10th in the first split to 3rd in the second and his acceleration compared to competition was striking. OTOH Ganna's advantage over his rivals was significant already in the first split.

In fairness Ganna is by far the best time trialist in the race, there is no Remco/Tarling/Wout and so on so the advantage at first time split is of no surprise to anyone. He should be winning this time trial easily with 45+ seconds on every other rider.

Only on track to take ~1'10" on Affini. Hmm.

Affini was onlu 27s behind Pogacar at T2 in Perugia

Foss looking to rebuff thief accusations with this ride

Likely won't make the top-5 in a depthless TT field. He's still bang average.

 

[Brullnux]

Only on track to take ~1'10" on Affini. Hmm.

I thought this was more or less the gap to be expected on Affini? Similar gap to the flat section of the first TT

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This will be more than 1:10 to Affini.

 

[Netserk]

Okay, he goes really fast here.

 

[Brullnux]

OK yeah Ganna is going hard, nice pacing too. 1:05 on Affini already.

 

[JosefK]

Ganna maybe ganna do it ...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Only reason Foss is losing loads to these riders is because he's an honourable cyclist who doesn't draft-abuse, cooked everyone fair and square in the 2022 World Championships, the real race of truth.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Its pronounced 'Roel Van Sintmaartensdijk' you idiots, god.

 

[Didinho]

Nice victory Pippo.

 

[Red Rick]

Motor bike saving fuel by suckwheeling Ganna real close

 

[Tim Cahill]

Get that man some sunglasses and 1x Luke Plapp

 

[KZD]

Ganna takes 1:26min on Foss, if Pogačar beats this, then he really is time trialing at Remco's level.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Ganna to take his helmet and suit off to reveal G, would be hilarious.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Its pronounced 'Roel Van Sintmaartensdijk' you idiots, god.

I hope the pronunciation was not worse than Rule Fun Sintmaartensdijk because that‘s the bare minimum

 

[Netserk]

First section dragging down the average speed a lot.

 

[Brullnux]

Good time from Bjerg

 

[Brullnux]

Do we need to crowdfund spf50 for Foss

 

[Netserk]

Is the prophecy true?

this man in the pictures is credited for Pog improving the TT to the level where he will sweep Ganna at both TTs at the Giro
