Paris-Nice '12: Stage 1 Dampierre-en-Yvelines - Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse (ITT), 9,4 k

[Trofinios]

Valverde on the course. Sub 11.45 or else his chances for GC is lost?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

De Gendt is leading

 

[jens_attacks]

valverde pretty fast on the climb but he will lose some time compared to omega and sky

 

[TeoSheva]

Valverde doing well for the moment

 

[Kwibus]

De Gendt fastest time.

 

[Cogombre]

Valverde 18'' down.

 

[TeoSheva]

11.49 for Valverde, 18sec behind the leader

 

[El Pistolero]

That's a really bad time.

 

[jens_attacks]

i think richie has just won this edition of paris-nice.he will have 30 seconds on valverde at the end of the day,more than enough

 

[Trofinios]

11.49 for Valverde, not that good. He lost 16 seconds to Chavanel from Chrono 1 to finish. That will be 30 seconds to riders like Wiggo and Martin.

Valverde has shed a few too many kilos to still be able to TT, it seems.

Just hope we won't hear that he will try to win TdF.

 

[Kwibus]

Just hope we won't hear that he will try to win TdF.

I'm pretty sure he will try to win the TdF

He won't though, but he will have a go at it.

 

[theyoungest]

no doubt about that,he's skinnier than at kelme

He's also skinnier than just before his suspension.

 

[Kwibus]

He's also skinnier than just before his suspension.

Indeed. He has never been as skinny as he is right now.

Any chance of a livestream today btw?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Morkov 2 seconds faster..

Oh well. Dekker beat Menchov, that's good enough for me

Yes! Well done Michael!

 

[Kwibus]

It looks like Samuel Dumoulin crashed.

53. DUMOULIN Samuel 54 COFIDIS LE CREDIT EN LIGNE 00:13:37 00:02:05

Didn't Dumoulin give it all for the KoM points in the Dauphiné prologue, then pretty give up and lose a ****load of time in the finish. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case here as well.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol Michael and Dani nice and cosy together with the same time:

17. MORKOV Michael 137 TEAM SAXO BANK 00:11:55
18. NAVARRO Daniel 131 TEAM SAXO BANK 00:11:55

 

[El Pistolero]

I hope Degendt still finishes inside the top 10.

 

[Trofinios]

Thor is up. Maybe the climb will ruin his chances for a great time.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I hope Degendt still finishes inside the top 10.

Yah that would be nice.
