[Netserk]

 

[Parrulo]

porte by at least 15 seconds. . . .

 

[Netserk]

Last year:

 

[Cyivel]

Westra going to have to go at least as well as last year, probably wont be enough still.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Westra ftw

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Porte will demolish this. Westra second, Chavanel third.

 

[davemchol]

Anyone think Navarro will push for the top ten?

 

[jens_attacks]

the times of brad and westra's last year were monster times.
this year, i can see three guys getting close to that time:westra,richie porte and chavanel
talannsky to drop out of the podium, richie porte to win overall of course

 

[Pentacycle]

Westra ftw

Porte is ready to crush him, so Westra for 2nd.

Is it Klöden that has the record?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Well, maybe, but only because Westra is always second

 

[jens_attacks]

Is it Klöden that has the record?

they went faster than kloden,they went around frigo and kelly's time i guess

the record must be that of rominger, probably around 30 seconds faster than what they did last year

Just shows how clueless I am

Thanks anyway

 

[roundabout]

I think the courses aren't the same.

But someone like Rominger should be the fastest up the climb. Just because he was.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

I don't think Porte can beat Wiggins and Westra's times from last year.

Westra is my pick for the win.

 

[Cyivel]

Yeah, there are definitely two different lengths, I remember them talking about Sean Kelly (well him talking about himself) having a very good time on one, Wiggins was faster in time but was on the shorter course, I'm sure we will hear more about it tomorrow as well

I think I've remember that right.

Edit: Well at least two!

the courses weren't the same indeed, 9,5 km then 10 km, then 12 km then 12,5 km then again 10 km and now 9,6 km. but if you cut the time for flat(which is approximate of course) rominger is by far the record holder.

 

[manafana]

Looking forward to this normally ASO cover these well, id be in camp that sky will have porte right for this.

 

[Froome19]

Porte to win by a good 30 seconds or so from Talansky

 

[Orbit501]

The Silent Assassin to go one better than on de Lure?

He didn't ride this TT last year as he'd already abandoned.

Wondering what Quintana will bring to the party as well?

 

[Afrank]

Porte will probably solidify his GC lead.
Talansky and Tejay to go into the red zone and finish on the podium.
Or even better...move past Porte on GC.

 

[Hartog]

Got some expectations for a good ride by Westra, but don't think anyone can challenge Porte for the GC.

 

[Ruudz0r]

This is one of Porte's training climbs, so he is the favourite for me for the stage (so automaticly for GC aswell)

 

[Pentacycle]

This is one of Porte's training climbs, so he is the favourite for me for the stage (so automaticly for GC aswell)

What was he doing last year in this TT?? He finished almost 2 minutes down on Wiggins.

 

[El Pistolero]

This is one of Porte's training climbs, so he is the favourite for me for the stage (so automaticly for GC aswell)

Does this mean Gilbert will get second then?
