Other examples as well

 

[thehog]

Porte just motoring away from the rest, yes, so credible

Very normal. Just rides away from everyone.

 

[Parrulo]

the borg is strong in porte. . . just rides away on the flat with people trying to follow his wheel

 

[LaFlorecita]

Is he riding away on the flat

 

[The Hitch]

Talansky was on peak for pn like porte. He is now doing breakaways.

Porte is still in 100% form.

 

[infeXio]

He's the new Cancellara. He'll probs contend for Paris Roubaix next year aswell

[LaFlorecita]

Very normal. Just rides away from everyone.

He is FroomeDog, Martin and Cancellara combined

 

[thehog]

He's Cancellera, Ullrich, Indurian rolled into one.

LOL!

Cycling is getting funnier and funnier.

 

[Baltazar]

Talansky was on peak for pn like porte. He is now doing breakaways.

Porte is still in 100% form.

Nah, looks like PN was Porte's 80% form.

 

[thehog]

He is FroomeDog, Martin and Cancellara combined

Is Porte doing PR this weekend? Should be a favorite.

 

[Ferminal]

Finally got a chance to ride for himself today.

 

[infeXio]

Felt nauseas when I saw him go Cancellara on them on the flat. Didn't even stand up, just rode away ala Cancellara PR 2010

 

[Ferminal]

Single arm fist pump!

 

[Afrank]

Porte just motoring away from the rest, yes, so credible

That was a incredible display of clean cycling!

 

[SafeBet]

****ing unbelievable.

We need to get Bruyneel and Saiz back. Even up the field.

 

[the sceptic]

Porte has worked on his time trial position guys, this is completely normal. When he wins the ITT by 1 minute tomorrow it will be another great victory for clean cycling.

 

[SeriousSam]

So has Porte surpassed Froome in the "most absurd and unexpected improvement" category now? I'm still on the fence.

 

[infeXio]

Probably going to see him riding across the line not even being exhausted tomorrow

In his first year in PRT, Geelong TT world championships in 2010.

So by that logic László Bodrogi(Silver Medal '07) Stef Clement (Bronze Medal '07), Iván Gutiérrez (Silver Medal '05) all bettered Porte's result at Geelong. Yet aside from national chmapionship titles, something that Porte hasn't done, these guys did nothing. Yet Porte who was doing a rather good 'Mick Rogers' in 2011 is now producing results like the final stage of P-N and everyone is ok with it.

 

[Alpechraxler]

First he has to pass the doping test. With the cold during the whole day he shuldn't be able to p i ss right now. So doping test failed

 

[Ferminal]

He beat Vlad Karpets for his maiden pro win. Gave him a lesson in cadence.

It was raining. So it means he washes his hands all day.

Marginal gain.

 

[Cyivel]

What are the starting gaps tomorrow, Porte to catch Alberto if it's a minute

I'll go with 35 seconds to Porte.
