I'm really stoked to see if he can beat Dekker's time!

are those times real?
17:43 for klodi means 34 km/h.not possible

i found this post by our fellow poster here,Lupetto:

For comparison, the results of 2001 and 2000.

Paris-Nice 2001, Nice - Col d'Eze ITT, 10.0 km
1 Dario Frigo (Ita) Fassa Bortolo 19.53 (30.176 km/h)
2 Raimondas Rumsas (Ltu) Fassa Bortolo 0.27
3 Jose Azevedo (Por) O.N.C.E. 0.41
4 David Moncoutie (Fra) Cofidis 0.43
5 Marcellino Garcia (Spa) CSC-World Online 0.44

8 Grischa Niermann (Ger) Rabobank 0.37
9 Tomasz Brozyna (Pol) Banesto 0.38
10 Aitor Garmendia (Spa) Banesto 0.39

this looks indeed legit and more likely in agreement with the physics laws

 

[Trofinios]

I'm really stoked to see if he can beat Dekker's time!

I just hope he goes for it even if the course is far from perfect for him.

a bit suprising he must be recovering from yesterdays efforts but well see in his finish time.
Peraud just did 19:46 so there s not much doubt the winning time will be under 19 minutes as he has been on relatively poor form.

He wrote yesterday in his blog that his team asked him to take it easy today. He fell yesterday and couldn't move his right hand for a min or so so they were worried.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Porte 33 seconds behind.
Peraud to win this one?

 

[Vitapen]

Porte +0:33
Not good.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Porte at 33 seconds
More and more proof this is a mountain ITT not a normal itt

He's only 7 seconds faster than Bart de Clerq for crying out loud.

 

[Trofinios]

Oops, Porte sucks today.

I was just kidding. But I guess even in top form, this course wouldn't suit him enough for a stage win. Solid top 10 should be within reach.

 

[BRCYC11]

Porte's not in his best shape.

Porte: 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,

 

[jens_attacks]

bad time for porte.still not convinced that peraud was supersonic,the gc guys will beat that time

 

[Froome19]

Porte at 33 seconds
More and more proof this is a mountain ITT not a normal itt

He's only 7 seconds faster than Bart de Clerq for crying out loud.

Peraud has been climbing considerably worse than Porte, so thats no proof at all..

 

[Trofinios]

So maybe under 19 is not so likely, given the correct times 10k in 2000/2001.

 

[Gloin22]

I think it was obvious Porte wasn't going to do well after the sickness and the hard fall on Stage 2.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Peraud has been climbing considerably worse than Porte, so thats no proof at all..

But Peraud is naturally the more talented climber. Due to lack of form he can't do well in normal stages, but a short effort like this is different

 

[Mellow Velo]

No way in hell Kelly was faster then the riders during the Epo era.
And how can he have the record if when Klöden and Frogo clocked in faster?
Or do you mean the record for the 80es?

You asked about the old course, which was used during that era.
That's the record for then.
France 3 live in 5.(minutes)

This, and seeing Moncoutie at the top, gives me hope, Valverde may indeed steal the race.

 

[dlwssonic]

We'll know when the almighty Tony is at the first time check

His form is quite bad right now and tony cant climb!!

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony not good +35

He needs to go back to training and rebuild.

 

[Trofinios]

Martin 12.21 first chrono, 35 seconds behind Peraud.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Martin 35 seconds slower than Peraud. Not going to do anything today

 

[dlwssonic]

this is a climbers TT
Wiggins can be defeated!

 

[jens_attacks]

So maybe under 19 is not so likely, given the correct times 10k in 2000/2001.

still those were 400 meters longer.a stratospheric westra-wiggins can go below 19 here
