Paris-Nice Stage 6: Rognes - Aix-en-Provence (ITT) 27km

[superconfex]

What... that's not horrible. 11 seconds off LuLu. Wouldn't have expected much better from him then where he finished.

True...but i was expecting top 10 rather than outside the top 20

Samu 15th. What is tomorow like?

 

[Jamsque]

Wiggo needs 29 seconds on Klodi to get up to 2nd on GC I think.

 

[spalco]

That winner better not be a bmc though, otherwise your comment will have been a half spoiler.

I know who won, but answering that question either way would be spoilerish too, wouldn't it?

I don't know... of the names above him the only ones that I'd find suprising in the least would be Mollema, Talansky and maybe Sivtsov and De Gendt. I see several names behind him that are suprising (Rogers, Gerdeman, Tjallingii, Kreuziger)

 

[sublimit]

If anything Peraud is more of a TTer than a climber.

Your right. French champ from 2008

 

[bohino11]

Thanks nice double bet won with peraud to beat chavanel

 

[boomcie]

Good work cadel!!!

I like a good vendetta.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Good performance by Klöden - but not good enough

Congrats to Panzerwagen.
I think RS will try to drop him in next stages as soon as road goes up.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Martin
Kloden @36"
Wiggins@39"

The rest nowhere.

 

[pedaling squares]

Great rides by Martin and Wigans, and now they're going to be put made to suffer if they want to keep their podium places. Should make for a couple of good days.

 

[Anonymous]

so 1,2,4 on the stage now 1,2,3 on gc.

PLeased for brad but not overly convinced stage races should be decided by tt's

 

[Jamsque]

I think Der Panzerwagen has held on to 2nd overall....

GC:

Martin
Kloden 36
Wiggins 39
Taaramae 1:10
Peraud 1:14
Leipheimer
Brajkovic
Sanchez
Tondo
Mollema

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

klodi in at 34:11 @+46

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Hindsight is 20/20

I predicted the failure of loser leon. most overrated rider within rabobank and as you can see that is against some strong competition

 

[superconfex]

Taaramae to go on a suicide mission tomorrow

 

[Moondance]

I think Der Panzerwagen has held on to 2nd overall....

GC:

Martin
Kloden 36
Wiggins 39
Taaramae 1:10
Peraud 1:14
Leipheimer
Brajkovic
Sanchez
Tondo
Mollema

Martin is Der Panzerwagen, not Kloden.

I don't see either Klödi or Wigans breaking away in any of the two remaining stages. I'd say the most dangerous rider for Martin is Taaramae.

And what the hell's up with Talansky. After yesterday's stage, I wouldn't have thought he could do so well. Hell, even if he'd been up there yesterday it would still be better than expected.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

The Great Bauke Mollema now 10th in GC

 

[Rocksteady]

With Neither Martin or Wiggins true climbers, I could see some teams try to drop them in the next couple of days. Martin seems to have the power to keep up, but Wiggins could lose time in the next stages.

 

[Tuarts]

Klodi or Taaaaaaaaaarmae may be the only climbers who can make up some time on the GC now but are thye strong enough to attack Martin?

I think Vino has the last stage wrapped up, he'll probably take Tondo + Sanchez along with him in the winning break

I was suprised as well... but pleasantly so.

Whoops, I seem to be making all kinds of mistakes today.

I'd love to see Wiggo go on a charge to try and get three seconds out of Klodi and move up a place, but he'll probably get dropped at some point on Sunday and finish outside the top 5.

LLS had back pain after his crash yesterday. He should simply be able to do a top-10 in a time trial like this.

But I don't care, Mollema FTW! On the attack, together with Taaramae.

Samu 15th. What is tomorow like?

basically 2 cat1's rolled into one, but about 90 kms from the finish
