Re: Re:

Thanks, was just bringing a touch of reality. Talk of 55km's was ridiculous.

yep, unless spartacus or wiggins got a 1990s full ret@rd program and got a heated del monte or moscow velodrome transplaced to altitude in mexico city or bogota

or ullrich or still bullish on phinney

56,3 the tests are predicting.

If he doesn't do much better than Dan Bigham I hope the latter tries to reclaim it.

 

[sir fly]

Doesn't look promising so far, imo.
Maybe the heat's gonna be turned on later.

 

[Red Rick]

Guess it's very likely he does a negative split?

The plan was to ride negative split so I suppose everything is going according to the plan.

Yeah, tables turning in the second 10 minutes.

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna going into the 15s already.

 

[sir fly]

The third decade looks full on.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Poor Filippo, he'll get dizzy soon. Why didn't they let him race on the road and where are other competitors?

Visit the dot.

 

[Red Rick]

Slowly going over 57kph in actual lap splits

 

[sir fly]

About 4 seconds quicker in the third tenth than he was slower in the first.

 

[Tim Cahill]

7% increase from that ultrasonic lubed chainring?

But has he ever attacked in the Spanish countryside from 120k out in an anonymous stage race in mid March because 'The sensations were good'.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Ganna now is gaining 0.5 seconds per lap vs the record pace. Ridiculous, what an engine.

 

[KZD]

He's ganna do it, at this point the question is by how much, I will say 56.5km

 

[Lequack]

Ganna is now the favorite to win the Tour.

 

[sir fly]

This piece was lightning fast.
Nearing the mark.

Right on the mark after 42 minutes.

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy ***, he's not just surpassing Boardman, he's embarrassing him!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Boardman's record about to go?

 

[Krzysztof_O]

He's going 59 kph, holy f**k.

 

[DNP-Old]

Boardman's record about to go?

He's already in the green on the Boardman index.

 

[Lequack]

Boardman's record about to go?

 

[DNP-Old]

He's 18 seconds faster than Boardman at the 45 km mark.

 

[Panda Claws]

I am not that impressed. In Gilbert's book he says that he and Leukemans rode 55 km/h in the final of the 2010 Ronde van Vlaanderen but didn't gain time on Boonen, let alone Cancellara.
