Van Garderen also loses a lot of time in the second part

 

[pedaling squares]

Great, was just about to sit down and watch for the first time - ad break...

Hopefully you didn't suffer through the same Sidi commercial that I saw.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Porte new leader with 28 secs on Westra

I love the HTC colored rear wheel on Martin's bike.

t'was painful.

 

[The Sheep]

Porte 28 seconds faster than westra

 

[Ferminal]

Nice time Richie...

 

[kurtinsc]

Mollema in at 10th at the split, 35 seconds back. Ahead of Tjallingii, just behind Gerdeman.

I found that suprising. Nice ride.

Wonder if the wind changed so they're getting some push on the front side and a headwind on the back.

 

[Mellow Velo]

TV misses Porte taking the lead by 28 seconds.

 

[Jamsque]

Come on Wiggo! Cav messed up in T-A today, someone has to fly the flag.

 

[royalpig180]

Nice ride by Porte! I imagine that the real favorites will post the best times still though... how far down was Porte yesterday?

 

[Ney the Viking]

Porte new leader with 28 secs on Westra

Kid showing promise, if only he climed a bit better

 

[Moondance]

VDB2 is failing. 18:10 at the first check.

Yeah Mollema is a lot like Gesink, not so good on very short ITT/prologues, but if it gets longer he moves up.

Probably will end up somewhere around 20/30th

Richie Porte!!!

I hate it, its making my eyes go funny. Having to look away from the screen

Erk. Not good.

Thanks for that. In the Paris-Nice thread. Who would have thought?
No need to watch it, now.

 

[Sophistic]

Porte has to be the most aerodynamic rider ever, 62kg and a better TTer than climber...

VDB2 is failing. 18:10 at the first check.

I'm guessing he'll say that he doesn't care anyway and it's only press' expectations that make it a big deal.

He is like 1:30 back, blew too much on the climb.

I find you lack of faith in TGBM disturbing.

I personally think he is more than 62kg, looks like he could loose a kilo or two.
