Itzulia Basque Country 2021, Spain, April 5 - April 10

Magical time for Roglic: 17'17''!



I don't think so. IMO Rogla will be very close to victory with this time (or will win).

Difficult to say, becouse to know a good reference on the climb is important, but I dont thing Pogacar will make a big difference with him as well. another important name for today is Adam Yates. But all of them could have a bad day.

I think Pogi can only beat this time of Primož. But, max for 10 seconds is my guess.

17:17 and now the wait begins!

Bevin was 2nd in a very hilly Vuelta ITT in 2019 only 25s behind Roglič on 35km. He can defend himself very well on hilly ITTs. The bigger question is his form.

 

[titan31]

Buchmann finishing soon and Schachmann starts soon. They'll be interesting times

 

[Luthor]

Pello is the real indicator, only 11s down at the intermediate.

Pello is the real indicator, only 11s down at the intermediate.

Last name very fitting today too.

 

[johnymax]

Strange about Mollema. Probably he wasn't going all in or maybe something happened to him during the TT

 

[Luthor]

Last name very fitting today too.

I avoided it because of the possible confusion lmao I'm rooting for a top10.

 

[Luthor]

Vingegaard 2s on Roglic at the intermediate, the guy is flying

 

[SafeBet]

Didn't know Chris Harper was TTer too.

 

[Gregor_Slovenia]

Jonas is flying but I think that there is still some space on the course. But Primož probably allocated his power very well. Not going full gas on a climb, pushing down into the city at full power.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Didn't know Chris Harper was TTer too.

He already showed it in UAE, but he will probably lose time in the flatter parts.

Buchmann finishing almost 50 seconds down and was 14 down after the climb means it looks like Roglic saved himself going uphill alright

Or that it is a lot of time to gain in the last 10km if you can push on.

Well it was expected. Buchmann is a climber and not that good of a TTer.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Cancellaru has this one in the bag.

 

[titan31]

Bilbao lost an extra 30 seconds after the climb there too. Be interesting what Vingegaard does hefe

 

[Luthor]

Vingegaard 18s down on Roglic. The guy can go for a top10 GC if TJV allows him.

 

[Red Rick]

Bilbao lost an extra 30 seconds after the climb there too. Be interesting what Vingegaard does hefe

2nd at 18s.

 

[Taxus4a]

It looks like Roglic time is a very good time.

2nd at 18s.

That's a good time. Would be pretty cruel for Rog if he sits there the whole race and Pog wins

Vingegaard (better known as Chris Harper) to top 5 today.

Thank you Jonas. Making me look good with my prediction
