i find absolutely outrageous that turbo diesel's biggest fan in the whole world wasn't invited to aguascalientes to cheer for him

how come, ruben?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I'm afraid of Mexicans

 

[screaming fist]

I can't help but think the way he approaches this is also his way to help himself say goodbye. If he doesn't make it might be easier for him to move on. To the Dutch: Is he really so well connected with the Dutch sports media? Might becoming a sports journalist be a logical career move?

 

[Red Rick]

I don't really know, but what I do know is that it takes NASA to calculate exactly how much more charisma he has thant for example Robert Gesink

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

the strategy is too start slower and end faster. THey want to keep a level schedule of 52,5.. so not start as fast as Dennis or Bobridge

Spiderman is ready to rock!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He's riding laps of 16 seconds... the plan was 17

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone got a decent stream, ES still doing ****ing ski jumping, which is brilliant to show in NL and the nos stream is taking months to load

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

3km done, Dekker is riding 52,8km/h average

 

[screaming fist]

It's on ES2 here in Germany, which I don't have. In the only stream I've found the picture is 30 seconds behind the audio.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dekker is already riding above 53km/h average now..

 

[nuvolablu]

How are we supposed to follow if they don't give us updates on the current average

Dekker is already riding above 53km/h average now..

thanks

He seems to have a really poor feel for the black line. As in, I haven't seen him touch it in about two minutes. Whereas Voigt seemed more disciplined in that regard.

 

[Red Rick]

53 is that his speed or hematocrit?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dekker still doing 16s laps... amazing

Yeah, his steering is really poor. He's making unneccesary meters

 

[Red Rick]

what speed is a 17.0000 lap and what is the length of the track? 250 i'm guessing?

 

[happytramp]

So no graphics of any sort? Nothing?

You need to count the laps by yourself.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

After 12km

53,1 average

He is about 10 seconds faster than Dennis right now
