[Barrus]

Schleck 33:35

 

[ttrider]

Thats excellent for Frank

 

[Barrus]

Just read that Gesink needs to ride somewhere close to 34 minutes, don't think that will be done.

But anyway great TT by F Schleck

Morabito 34 minutes precisely

 

[ak-zaaf]

So 34.13 for Gesink to win?

 

[icefire]

FSchlekt's TT is as good as Armstrong's? Or Armstrong's TT is as bad as FSchlekt's?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Good ride Morabito!

 

[luckyboy]

Nice TT for Frank

 

[Barrus]

unless Andy suddenly "finds" his form, I think Frank could finish higher than him in the tour

 

[Parrot23]

FSchlekt's TT is as good as Armstrong's? Or Armstrong's TT is as bad as FSchlekt's?

Man, I'm really confused too. Lance must be **** to be struggling to beat Frank in a TT. The world is turning upside down.

 

[Magnus]

FSchlekt's TT is as good as Armstrong's? Or Armstrong's TT is as bad as FSchlekt's?

Probably a bit of both.

Andy will find his form...

 

[Publicus]

FSchlekt's TT is as good as Armstrong's? Or Armstrong's TT is as bad as FSchlekt's?

Either way, it's a bad sign for Lance. He can't climb with Frank and the thinking always has been that he would get the time back on the TT. Now that doesn't seem as such a foregone conclusion.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Morabito now definetly 3rd possibly 2nd!

 

[Barrus]

Does anyone know how much the other contenders lost in the second part, so that we can make an estimate of the final time of Gesink

 

[Parrot23]

He can't climb with Frank

IMHO, not convinced of that still. Lance has been climbing well. It's just really weird that an older guy is climbing getter than he's TT'ing. Indurain lost his climbing first, etc.

Think Lance will surprise with his climbing at Tour. Frank's climbing should suffer if he's tt'ing better, in therory, LOL (with some big exceptions)

 

[auscyclefan94]

On the streams chat room

I am ****ing because lance is so good!

 

[ttrider]

Gesink miles back absolutely terrible

 

[Publicus]

No way he holds on to the overall. Gutty effort though.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Schleck takes the overall!

Who would have thought that he would ever win a race due to a ITT?

 

[Barrus]

Gesink lost it. Great win by Frank Schleck

 

[auscyclefan94]

Morabito 2nd on GC!

 

[ak-zaaf]

Schleck takes it.

What were the odds for that?

 

[Publicus]

Frank is going to be a bit of a beast at the Tour. And Saxo Bank is going to be a monster team.

 

[NRS_Comp1]

Can someone explain me how in the world Frank schlek is now able to TT with the best ????

 

[auscyclefan94]

How is lance 2nd?

Sorry, miscalculated!
