[Gloin22]

Pinotti owns Thomas by 15 seconds at split 1

Expected after Thomas labour with Cav and the ladouts

It's going be great fight between Pinotti v Larsson though.

 

[dlwssonic]

He is a man on a mission.
There is still GEL!!!

PINOTTI SMASHES GERAINTS TIME BY 15s
DAFUQ!!!

Well Thomas isn't all that good in TT's. I wonder where all the hype surrounding him comes from.

 

[Potomac]

The Italian announcers keep talking about football Americano

Thomas said he totally spared all the energy during the mountains for the TT..

He speaks English.

 

[BillytheKid]

There're now saying Phinney was held up by a stopped moto and car on the course. Hmmmm. Hmmm. Wierd.

 

[dlwssonic]

Well Thomas isn't all that good in TT's. I wonder where all the hype surrounding him comes from.

But he did pretty well to be beat the provisional best time by 14s.
Just shocked with Pinotti's performance, thought it might have been too flat for him.

 

[dlwssonic]

So is GEL the last big TT for the win??

 

[dlwssonic]

Bad time by GEL...

 

[Gloin22]

He speaks English.

Uhmmmm....

Do you want more examples of Thomas's quite good TT's ?

From what I've watched he's been drafting 50% of this course

He's got the italian friendly motorbike in front of him.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bad time by GEL...

Didn't he fall in this Giro?

 

[dlwssonic]

Nowander GEL looks banged up!

 

[dlwssonic]

Didn't he fall in this Giro?

Yeah I didn't know about it.

Yeah the cars have been pretty close and his minute men have helped too
The italians really want an italian to win.
Pinotti smashes the second intermediate by 26s. Its his to lose!!

 

[Pharazon]

that Moto was redicilously close to Pinotti

 

[trevim]

Uhmmmm....

Very solid results. But no way that would put him as a favourite for a TT like this. And it's not like Pinotti doesn't have that kind of results too.

2nd split

1 BMC - PINOTTI Marco(ITA)23'49"
2 SKY - THOMAS Geraint(GBR)26"
3 RNT - SERGENT Jesse(NZL)38"

Pinotti doing well so far Let's wait for Larson to really see how good his time is.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Any 'legs' to the story that Phinney was held up by moto?? or just opinion unbased? I missed his ride...

Just look at his motorbike pilot vs Larssons ! It's 3 times as close, this is just silly

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Hilarious motorbike assistance for Pinotti. That's ridiculous.

Larsson came at 36s at the first split. Can't blame him, he looks banged up.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Pinotti has been paced for 20 kilometres now...

i know...

you can't even see the GEL moto, and the Pinotti one is so close you can see the lettering on the pollion passenger, even on my crappy stream
