Ponferrada 2014 World Championships, Sep. 21st-28th

[Cance > TheRest]

Quaade fastest between 1st and 2nd split(?).

He gained 2sec on Vorobyev

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Chavanel flying

 

[ciranda]

Quaade fastest between 1st and 2nd split(?).

edit: 2nd fastest less than a second slower than Oliveira.

Chavanel one second after these two from first > second checkpoint.

And Dowsett twelve seconds slower so Quaade is clearly stronger.

Just heard interesting thing from local (czech) commentator. He claims that Barta is on the same level (performance) as the best ones (wiggo, martin) but will lost the time only because they have better machines (tunnel tested, etc) and those can save a lot of seconds on the tt that long... Are those fuji bikes so much worse, that it'll cost him lets say 1 minute on the 50km race?

If he's on the Norcom Straight 1.1 it has been extensively tunnel tested, as the video on their website so aptly demonstrates.

Basically, he's talking out of his bum.

I think it was just an over-enthusiastic commentator.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Martin started slowly. - 4sec

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Nice performance by Dillier.

 

[ciranda]

Chavanel one second after Chavanel + Quuade first > second checkpoint.

And Dowsett twelve seconds slower so Quaade is clearly stronger.

Barta also just slower but Sergeant a little faster from first to second.

 

[l.Harm]

Everyone gains time on Chavanel second part




and Kiryienka as well now

 

[indianfanboy]

any live video links?

 

[the sceptic]

lest go panzer

 

[Akuryo]

Martin started slowly. - 4sec

Yesterday he said (after riding the full course) that you could lose a lot of time if you go all in too early. It is not like last year where you could push full gas from the get go. So he is just riding smart. At least thats what I hope.

 

[VanBsr]

R.Dennis 3s faster than Martin according to GPS

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Chavanel went out too hard.
