[roundabout]

Treks in force.

Felline and Silvestre should also be top 30ish.

Happy that Coppel did a good ITT and should get a good GC result

Ok, this makes more sense. CN has Dombro in 6th for Sky instead of Siutsou which would have been rather shocking.

If Kennaugh wants more than low quality 2.HC wins he really needs to improve his TT.

never stopped purito

 

[jaylew]

Kennaugh != Purito

 

[Forunculo]

never stopped purito

Yews it is. Vuelta 2010 or Giro 2012.

 

[hmpower]

Jesse Sargent looks like be peaking in TT at right time for commonwealth games

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Last stage:

Gatto or Haller, but what about Zabel?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

What a non discussion. He finished 4th out of the top 10 on GC in this TT.

People don't seem to be able to comprehend that just because they're disappointed his TT isn't a weapon, given his pursuiting background, it doesn't mean his TT is awful.

in a GT TT he will be in the bottom half of the table

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Don't talk rubbish.

In a GT more than half the riders don't try at all.

This whole discussion is just laughable and not remotely justified by his results. This is the first season he's been leading and his TT results when riding for GC have been -

22, 21, 11, 29, 19

Bottom half on a 1 hour GT time trial means losing more than 6 or 7 minutes to the winner.

yes, exactly. look at Bartali ITT to, awful results in a very weak field, like this ToA.

if he aims to be a GC rider than he needs to dramatically improve his TT.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

In Bartali he lost 30 second to Caruso over a 10km TT because he had already won the GC and was celebrating down the straight.

Yesterday he beat Caruso.

Just a total nonsense argument. He's a very ordinary TTer, but he's not the ******* lovechild of Jrod and Pandy. No one thinking remotely seriously could suggest that.

 

[spalco]

Uff, hard rain in the end, but at least I got a good spot to see the sprint because of that.

 

[roundabout]

Congratulations to Haller and Kennaugh

 

[Pricey_sky]

Great week for Kennaugh, he continues to impress me. If Froome does not make the Vuelta it will be a good chance for him to see what he can do.

 

[trevim]

Guess who finished 20th....

 

[Jagartrott]

Guess who finished 20th....

He's still got it!

 

[MBotero]

Great win for Kennaugh,still sad he didn't get a place in TDF team but Vuelta is close,let's see what he can do.

 

[JRanton]

A good consistent week from him.

Let's see what he can do in a world tour race. He'll probably be leading in Poland I'd imagine.

 

[VeloHuman]

Dan Martin looks to have recovered quickly. Hoping we'll see him lighting it up in the Vuelta.
