Has somebody link on livetiming with intermediates ?

Not raining at the moment but very cloudy sky.

Throw Pedersen out of the race, wtf is this ***.

 

[Samamba]

DQ for Pedersen please, this is ***.

Re:

I think Trek as team there should get some kind of punishment for that or the driver of the car.

They know Pedersen is coming up from behind. Just pullover and let him pass the car. Instead of essentially drafting him up.

It looks really bad when it was the same team involved there in that situation.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mads, behave yourself.

(I'm surprised two teammates were allowed to start right after each other.)

What is he doing? I don't have images yet :surprised:

 

[Rollthedice]

Just in, 58x11 for Yates. He'll catch Dumo.

Caught up with his minute man (BVP), and got a bit of a draft from the car behind Van Poppel, which happened to be a van...

Average speeds are dreadful. Tuft going 47kph average...

This. Or explode.

Thanks for sharing, weird situation and looks like a rather unfair move

 

[RedheadDane]

LoL at the 15 K to go gate.
Imagine being a TT expert, fighting for the win, and suddenly seeing the message "Full gas now!" flash over the road in front of you.
"What the *** do you think I'm doing?"

 

[Red Rick]

Victor "If I'm not the fastest when I cross the line then I've had 2 flat tires" Campenaerts, 2nd at the first intermediate.

Some don't know how to use properly a rest day.

 

[sir fly]

Over two minutes between the first and last at the first intermediate.
That's a lot.

... And over 3 at the second time check.
Plenty.

Yates: 58x11
Dumo: 56x11

I feel like this is going to backfire tremendously for Yates. Just seems odd for a small, lightweight climber to go with this gear for around 45 minutes.

It's the feeling he has that he's invincible.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hang on. There were four Willier riders among the first 6 starters? :surprised:

Mullen cramping up

Seems like he's gotten over the issue now.

Let's see what his knees think when they feel this.

Are they riding FIXED?

'cos otherwise largest gear really doesn't matter, especially if it can actually just mean better chainlines and gaps in the gears they actually use most of the time.

 

[Samamba]

Campenaerts won't win this TT if he doesn't ride a really fast last part.
