That's pretty awful. He looks like a salty old ******* yelling at kids to stay off of his grass, or to not be "always after me lucky charms!". Swear to god, he has to have a pot of gold hidden somewhere.

SafeBet said:Does anybody have the first intermediate times of the Barolo ITT?
Top10 GC riders if possible.
hfer07 said:Pozzo
Quintana
Uran
basically after this stage, Quintana will be 100% securing the Maglia Rosa while the podium will be up for grasp between Uran, Rolland & Aru.

Bavarianrider said:Not even close.
Tomorrow riders will have to ride on the limit more than 30% longer.
Cookster15 said:Yes Mont Grappa is longer but Plan de Corones was a much much steeper MTT. No contest on that point.

Mellow Velo said:Not just about extreme gradient.
1100 vertical metres as opposed to 1600,(40% more) tomorrow.

deValtos said:What kind of time is the winner expected to do ? Presumably over the hour ?
Frosty said:OGE have two riders left, sitting second last and third last on GC. Will they make the time cut tomorrow? I think they will but it could be a close one?
Bavarianrider said:Yeah, don't think anyone will break the hour, though Quintana might get very close
Bavarianrider said:Isn't the time limit like 25% in TT like this. There isn't really any danger to miss the cut for a pro.
gerundium said:7 flat km's: 9 minutes. (~47 km/h. No TT bike so lower speeds)
1530 meters of altitude gain. Assuming a (high end) VAM of 1700 m/h for the winnier We can guess roughly 54 minutes for the climb up Monte Grappa.
Winner should ride roughly ~63 minutes. Due to length of the climb i wonder if 1700 m/h is attainable. Could end up with a winners time slightly higher more along the line of 65 minutes.
