Simulation thread. Only for crazy people.

¡¡1h7'50"!! BEST TIME. BUT LETS SEE IF ITS ENOUGH TO GET THE VICTORY. THEY HAVE HAD A BIG BURDEN CALLED BRAMBILLA.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Garmin is on the road. They should be in the top10 today. No doubt this is a great stage for talansky to continue winning time on the rivals. Not a superteam but with a specialist like navardauskas and good rouleurs like Rathe.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

SKY IS JUST ABOUT TO START. Well organised squad. Also with riders like PORTE, KENNAUGH, HAGEN, THOMAS... GREAT TEAM FOR SUPPORT DOMBROWSKI........



NOW THEY ARE IN THE FIRST METRES...

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Later we will comment the disaster of Time Trial of the first team to take the start today, Colombia Coldeportes... with only five riders. FOR SURE THESE ARE HARD MOMENTS FOR JOHAN CHAVES.

¡¡FDJ HAVE JUST FINISHED!!


1h13'45"

TOO MUCH TIME LOST FOR THIBAUT PINOT... UNDERSTANDABLE IN A TEAM WITH NONE TT'ERS AND ONLY TWO ROULEURS LIKE VICHOT AND OFFREDO.

[Jason_Mercier]

¡BMC IS IN THE STARTING RAMP! IS THE LAST TEAM.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... ¡¡GO!!

ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ.

Van Garderen has a very good team for this TT with Taylor Phinney, plus riders like Burghardt, Bookwalter and even Nerz. Maybe will fight for the top3.

¡¡RADIOSHACK IN THE LAST CURVE!!

JUNGELS IS THE FIRST... SERGENT, GALLOPIN....


1h9'05" NOT...

BAD TT FOR THEM.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

WTFFFFF!!!!!! ¡¡¡ORICA GREEN EDGE IS CRUSHING ALL THE RECORDS!!!

[Jason_Mercier]

MATHIAS KRIZEK.

ONLY 5 RIDERS LEFT IN CANNONDALE. Sagan and Moser relay, the rest of the team at wheel


ASTANA TIME: 1h10'01" Not bad for Aru and Nibali. Nice TT of Huffman assuming the responsability.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Bmc is doing it nice in the partials...

Sky too.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Sky is in the last two kms... Thomas pacing, hagen, porte, kennaugh, dombrowski and henao.

 

[Cyivel]

Great stuff as usual.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

WTF!!!



¡¡¡BMC IS PASSING CANNONDALE!!!

Straight line: Van Garderen, Phinney, Bookwalter, Burghardt, Nerz.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

¡¡SKY IS ALREADY HEREEE!!

200 METRES,


100M.


¡¡1h7'32!! Great time!! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FOR JOSEPH DOMBROWSKI.

NOW ONLY BMC CAN BEAT ORICA'S TIME.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

¡¡ATTENTION BECAUSE THE FIFTH MAN OF BMC DOMINIK NERZ IS SUFFERING!!
THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THESE LAST METRES....

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Bmc is literally flying... Nerz seems to be recovererd.
Last kilometer, ¡¡tejay van garderen wants the yellow jersey!!

 

[Jason_Mercier]

INCREDIBLE EFFORT FROM PHINNEY.

LAST 100....



VAN GARDEREN CROSSES THE FINISH LINE............ NERZ. ¡¡1h7'04"!!! SUPER PERFORMANCE.

Second position.


GREAT WIN FOR ORICA which have dominated the stage from the beginning to the end.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Cannondale arrives too...... TEJAY VAN GARDEREN is the new leader of the tour de france.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Great stuff as usual.

Thanks
