Ofcourse Kelderman vanishes off PCS when he should be posting a time.

36 seconds down on Roglic I think

Wilco faded in the second part, 5th at 36 seconds.

Roglic happy with what he did.

I wasn't expecting Kelderman or Schachmann in the top 5, but the fact they didn't even come close makes Johnnymax's prediction gain traction.
Foss 3rd, is one of the guys i expected ahead of Vingegaard.

Jumbo 1 2 3

 

[Luthor]

Foss 28 seconds down. JV full podium.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Foss was six seconds faster Vingegaard on the flat (if you can call it that) and 10 better than Schachmann.

Voss was six seconds faster Vingegaard on the flat (if you can call it that) and 10 better than Schachmann.

Yeah even I knew that, buy my brain continues to fart all over the forum these days

Watch out for Yatesy (new and improved edition) and Pogi.

I think Pogi will smash this. At least in the first split I expect him to be around 10s ahead and keep that advantage till the finish. Yates won't be far either. I expect him to be around Vingegaard's time.

 

[RedheadDane]

Did that guy catch Fraile, or was overtaken, and then re-caught him in the finale part of the stage?

 

[Lequack]

Now we have a live stream of Roglic eating and looking at his smartphone. Maybe that was his plan all along.

 

[Bushman]

You think at best only 3 other riders will beat his time?

Van Wilder should smoke his time, obviously
I dont think more than a handful of riders will beat Vingegaards time.

Haven't you read the comments? Only Pogacar can challenge him

He had overtaken Ladagnous, but Fraile had obviously used more energy than him.

 

[JosefK]

Carapaz only 13 seconds down at the split. For him (not a TT superstar), not bad. Maybe Ineos is going to be strong (again).

I was thinking more of Leknessund, but sure, apparently it's a joke to think TT prodigies that can climb, might do better.

First intermediate is also much down to climbing/punch ability.

Leknessund hasnt really been in great shape so far. I do expect a lot from him, though. Seems to have a great engine but has struggled a bit with consistency so far.

 

[johnymax]

Hirschi only 4s down on 1st split. He'll fly in the Ardennes

Leknessund hasnt really been in great shape so far. I do expect a lot from him, though. Seems to have a great engine but has struggled a bit with consistency so far.

Because people see him as a GC rider, which i do not at this time. As a TT'er with climbing legs, he's been very consistent and very good.

What happened to Mas?

 

[Fernandez]

What happened to Mas?

That he is very bad

 

[Salvarani]

What happened to Mas?

Poor form.

Crashed in GP Miguel Indurain I think also.

 

[johnymax]

McNulty to start
