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

[ingsve]

lol who leads, exact same time overall ?

edit; it should depend on who has the best places on each stage overall.

No, it never depends on place points when there is a TT. They look at the hundreds of a second. Horner is 18 hundreds of a second ahead.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Impressive ride by Klödi.
S.Sanchez can be happy that he didn't catch him

 

[Havetts]

Betting J-rod is probably 3 to 4 mins down on Kloden

 

[roundabout]

32.30 with 2k to go. Tsk, tsk.

 

[icefire]

Will Purito get to the finish before the start of Roubaix?

 

[luckyboy]

Rodriguez going to be 12th on GC or something.

His gearing looks weird.

 

[jobiwan]

Kloden!!!!

 

[Spine Concept]

So Gesink podiums both in TA and Tour of the Basque after the final time trial... Who would've thought Good on him!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Okay, this is a complete mystery to me. Klöden only bothers when he has to sign a new contract, he prefers to take things easy and ride without pressure instead of going for the win, he never attacks, he rides for the Shack and there's plenty of Clinic stuff about him.

Then why do I and many others like him?!?!?!

I don't care if he used to be doped or not but I also like him somehow despite he's a uncharismatic coward. what I liked about him how hard he bashed his home country and refused to ride for them anymore.

 

[Kwibus]

So do I have to keep an eye on Kloden for the TdF as well now?

Or will there be a stage in which loses over 6 minutes like every other TdF again?

 

[Bala Verde]

Rodriguez will finish tomorrow when everyone is watching P-R...

 

[Ildabaoth]

Purito could be a better TT with a good training. His gearing is awful, so he does it very ineffectively. It even hurts the eyes to watch him TTing.

 

[roundabout]

Rodriguez going to be 12th on GC or something.

His gearing looks weird.

Nah, just holds on to 11th

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kloeden wins. Big chapeau. Horner beats Gesink by .18 of a second for 2nd. Sweet

Pretty sure it is more about who had better places in the stages, I could be wrong tho.

anyway horner beat gesink on every single stage, so probably fair.

podium for gesink tho;

3 races (not even riding that great at TA or here)
1st, 2nd and 3rd. Pretty decent season he is having all things considered.

 

[Kwibus]

Well 33rd for Purito isn't that bad for him at all.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Impressive ride by Klödi.

Well, Cobbles, I said I wouldn't be happy if everybody rode within themselves for the TT, but if we got a half decent race and somebody won it with a good TT, then they'd deserve it.

I'm not going to pretend that I like the result, but credit to Klöden for the win. The Shack boys looked strong all week, and in reality, I never had any doubt we had a Shack 1-2 on our hands. Mainly because it's the result I wanted least and I'm a pessimist, but because Horner and Klöden both looked strongest from start to finish.

Oh i see. close thing.
A shame

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oh and Kloden and Horner for the top rung and a podium spot.
Probably Vino to fill the other.
Best of the Spanish might well be Intxausti.
Don't fancy either Sanchez or Rodriguez's chances.

Depressingly predictable snoozefest.
At least Bobby G got amongst them, so the Rabo boys should be chuffed.
Amazingly, he took much of the time going downhill, not up.

 

[Ferminal]

Oh... so Tony Martin won the stage, the times they were showing of Klöden coming in where for GC?

That was confusing.

 

[The Hitch]

Wtf is this. 2 people on 47 seconds, 2 people on 63 seconds, 5 people on 68 seconds.

1st, 2nd and 3rd. Pretty decent season he is having all things considered.

Really concerned about his climbing though. I really hope that his improvement in TT hasn't gone at the expense of his climbing. It shouldn't have though, had he done it properly. Is there a logical explanation if it did?

 

[python]

bobby proved his tt progress. climbing as ever a par. gc-ers watch out !

 

[luckyboy]

He was ahead of Martin, but lost time towards the end.
