Giro del Trentino 2013

[Eshnar]

What are they here for if not to get a decent ttt test against reasonable opposition?

It's a test, but as in every test no one will go full gas...

 

[Swarley]

BMC 25'' slower than Sky at the intermediate. Colombia lost 1:06 at the end.

 

[theyoungest]

Good result for Colombia. They didn't come last.

BMC have just 6 riders, hard to get a result.

and also they surly had to drag maikol rodriguez to the line and they b asiclaly rode with 7 riders here anyway since marco corti is in the team.

Cause 14km will wear them out for the giro?
Surely there are incentives? Spots on the team, wt points, training... I don't see them getting much out of going half-@rsed

 

[Dazed and Confused]

BMC 16:09

Barely beating Rusvelo.

Cannondale same time as BMC: 16:09

Wt points? This isn't WT

It's a team time trial, of course they'll go full gas.

 

[Better Call Saul]

Wt points? This isn't WT

Really? Jeez this really is a b event. That explains the pelotons tactics this morning

 

[Michele]

did you notice the teams on the startlist? There is only 6 WT teams riding. For them the race is about prep for the Giro. For the non WT teams and those that are not riding the Giro I am sure they will be taking it with a bit more effort.

no wonder, they have a horrble team here for ttt

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ouch.. what happened to Champion Systems?

ticker say they were delayed at the start

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

very bad cannondale

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so Cerny could take over the leaders jersey...

Still Sky will probably take the front anyway.

[Afrank]

New general classification:

2. Bouet (AG2R) +11"
3. Rodriguez (Colombia) + 16"
4. Van Rensburg (MTN Qhubeka)+44"
5. Kochetkov (Rusvelo) +49"

 

[JRanton]

I thought Astana would do a bit better than that. Sky don't have a very good team for the TTT but I guess Wiggins might have made the difference.
