Paris-Nice 2012 - Stage 8: Nice - Col d'Èze (ITT), 9,6 km

[Morbius]

I also disapprove of him pretending to be offended only after making sure that he profits off Movistar's behaviour

So what was Wiggins supposed to do - let Valverde and Westra get ahead of him? Or pull a Cancellara and get the peleton to stop??

Porte starts 12.59, that will give us an indication what Pate's time is worth.

 

[classicomano]

De Clercq alrdy up 20 seconds on Pate.

 

[Trofinios]

De Clercq, 12.27 at first chrono. 22 faster than Pate...

yeah just like armstrong,wiggins wants some good times from his teammates to give him an idea how hard will he need to go.
he was following pate in the car.true professional.

 

[Sylvester]

He like CRUSHED Pierre Cazaux by like over a minute! I can even see Pate making the overall podium now...

 

[theyoungest]

With De Clercq doing that, I can't see Lotto not putting three guys in the top 5

 

[jens_attacks]

indeed pate even put one and a half minute in mighty awesome form kash.

porte will go strong i reckon,he might even win this itt

 

[Panda Claws]

Good final time by Hushovd.

 

[Kwibus]

Nice time by Declerq.

Not a top10 time, but good enough for him I guess.

Agree with Porte, with his relatively light body, he will do well today, at least top 5.

Porte on Team Sky's homepage:

"I'll be going full gas on the time trial tomorrow because I want to see where I am after my illness and my fall earlier in the week, but it's what Bradley does that everyone will be looking at and it would be an amazing achievement if he can wrap up the win."

 

[jens_attacks]

de clercq descent time
probably won't make top 20 though

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

If guys like De Clerq and Moncoutie go faster than Pate, then the people who keep claiming it's more of a normal ITT then an MTT should wake up by now

 

[classicomano]

Moncoutie like a boss!

 

[theyoungest]

Grischa Niermann made the top-10 in this time trial in 2000... not gonna happen this year though. A full 4 minutes slower

 

[jens_attacks]

moncoutie will smash it,he likes col d'eze

 

[Panda Claws]

Powerful Moncoutie

it's a time trial for ullrich,wiggins type of riders.
valverde would like a 7% steep climb,of course he still can do very well here

 

[Bavarianrider]

Okay, Pate wasn't that good.

 

[jens_attacks]

Grischa Niermann made the top-10 in this time trial in 2000... not gonna happen this year though. A full 4 minutes slower

can you posts the results from those years here?can't find them
i know moncoutie did well back then

 

[Sylvester]

No, he did just great. Mate and Moncoutié crushing it just means Cofidis will put 2 men in the top 3 for sure.

 

[Panda Claws]

Nice 20:11 by Moncoutie.

 

[Froome19]

32.VANMARCKE SepGARMIN - BARRACUDA 00:25:03 out of 33 wonder what has happened, he may be feeling a bit fatigued, I jsut hope his form is still there for the classics.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Mouncoutie, didn't excpect that

 

[Froome19]

Peraud does 11:47 ,12 faster than Monocutie.
