Giro d'Italia Stage 1: Amsterdam ITT (8.4km)

[Libertine Seguros]

Having to defend the maglia rosa early on in the race is probably the last thing BMC needed.

Great effort
C
We dont know how good BMC are in the TT cause apart from Cadel we havent seen anyone from BMC time trial - and they havent done 1 TTT yet

We have, but they all sucked.

Yup, this is where it gets interesting.

 

[Kender]

woah nibali nearly ate barrier steel heh

 

[trompe le monde]

Not a bad ride by Karpets. He looks phlegmatic, if I can used the word, on a TT bike though that could be attributed to his height.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Nibali's not holding back.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Glad it is still dry-ish. I feared we would see a repeat of the Vuelta where your slot made all the difference.

 

[Moondance]

Nibali is really going for it.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Wow, we have an new type of dog crossing the road!

 

[Moondance]

Henderson is going to be close.

EDIT: Just missed out. But form is good. Could get the pink if he finishes top 3 tomorrow.

 

[trompe le monde]

Konovalovas on the tarmac. Now it should get interesting, not that Nibali has it on cruise control.

 

[sportzchick]

Woot! Great ride from Henderson 2nd for now!

Henderson makes a bid and comes up short. Lets hope that trend for Team Sky continues.

Cuts to a ****ing advert just as Nibali is coming to the end

Woot! Great ride from Henderson 2nd for now!

So far he's the best placed of the sprinters to take the MR on time bonuses

 

[auscyclefan94]

the big boys are starting!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Nibali gets the bird!

 

[trompe le monde]

Damn. 8 seconds in arrears by Nibali. Stiil, great ride for Vincenzo.
