Pais Vasco Stage 6: Zalla-Zalla 24 KM (ITT)

[Jamsque]

T-Lok was finishing in the autobus most of the week so I think he's improved some. Still not great, you're right.

 

[roundabout]

Purito is going in 20 minutes or 1 hour 20 minutes?

30 minutes. 16.48

Gerrit-Jan, what sort of performance do you expect from Fabio Andreas?

 

[Rocksteady]

Duarte!!!!!

 

[Jamsque]

Pinotti goes 2nd fastest

Gerrit-Jan, what sort of performance do you expect from Fabio Andreas?

Maybe a top 20? depends on if he will go full on. I hope he will.

 

[meandmygitane]

he has 20th time with about 40 guys to go. so maybe top 40. looks really bad to me

He has been down in the autobus nearly every day so... plus the motivation for doing a great TT isn't there..

But you are right that he should be a little bit better placed, but really bad doesn't make sense in the context of the racing earlier in the week.

What about Rigoberto Urans placing?

 

[hrotha]

Just watching the end of yesterday's stage - was that Samu trying to go off the front in the final km?

Seems he might not be totally confident for this TT if that was the case.

I think it was Gorka Verdugo.

 

[Bala Verde]

the top 50 is trickling in...

how's Hoogerland doing this season?

So it's between Kloeden, Sanchez, Horner and Hesjedal?

Guess the same applies to Uran on a smaller scale.

At least i hope that his result is not the best he could do.

 

[insideout leadout]

-Hesjedal
+Vino
+Gesink ?
+Tondo

 

[Jamsque]

Uran seemed to be riding OK until he had a shocker on Thursday.

CVV just went 9th fastest, he's getting better every day. I hope he has an injury-free season this year.

 

[The Hitch]

Let the games begin. Vino starts.

 

[Havetts]

Let the games begin. Vino starts.

Let's hope that Sky is not just bumbling about in their training, racing and tapering scheme for classification riders. Wiggins from last year would be a good example how to not do it

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Aupa Beñat!

 

[insideout leadout]

Nice time by Fuglsang +29.

 

[roundabout]

Nice time by Fuglsang +29.

Unfortunately TT is the only thing he's been good at this season.

Vino definitely has the best haunches in the peloton

 

[Rocksteady]

HesJay off.

 

[icefire]

Basque commentators say Vino is 26s after Martin in the first time check

Looks like wind conditions are changing

 

[roundabout]

Yea, seemed blustery when Garate was finishing.
