TDF Stage 19 - Saturday, July 24 2010, Bordeaux - Pauillac, 51 km ITT

[MKirilenko]

Unfortunately Martin really died at the end. He beat Grabsch by 1:14

It says 1:31 (?)

 

[Scirea]

It says 1:31 (?)

My bad, i saw the 01:14 in the 01:01:14 time. Strong finish then.

CNs feed says he got through the 36km time check only 9 minute ago, is the live feed not live?

 

[MKirilenko]

Cancellara 9s faster on 2nd CP!
@Cerberus
TdF feed is "liver" than CNs

 

[who dat]

cancellara reverses deficit at 2nd time check

yes

Cance is 9s faster now in the 2nd time intermediate check

 

[Scirea]

Cancellara by 9 seconds over Martin. Konovalovas is winning it for him, perfect leadout.

 

[Scirea]

He just caught Konovalovas before the 2nd time check. If he will win close it will be the reason.

 

[who dat]

cancellara maintains advantage

 

[Scirea]

Still 9 seconds. Told you, Konovalovas decided it.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Big time gaps! Martin did not gain much over the last 5 or 6km's on Grabsch so FC will win.

 

[ttrider]

Cancellara and Martin having an excellent battle, shame we cant see it
Millar thinks Contador will win?! Surely its a power mans course

Wish this year's world championship TT is more interesting than last year's

 

[Scirea]

17 seconds for the race stopper...

Definitely is, but the question is how much power riders have left after 3 weeks. Still will be very surprised if AC wins it tho. Who has been able to take an extra couple of quiet days after the rest day to build up some power for this?

 

[joy118118]

cance beats martin by 17s

 

[auscyclefan94]

Virtuel Yellow
Tjallingi
Hondo 1'42''
Martin 3'40"
Kroon 4'08"

 

[who dat]

cancellara extends lead to 17s at finish does anyone think any of the late starters can better that time?

Well, It is reported that Cancellara was considering on focusing on the road race. I hope that is the case. People are underestimating our little course in Melborune/Geelong. Out of the sprinters I only see Freire being there and possibly Ciolek.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I am hoping Menchov has an absolute blinder today! Also that a schleck has a shocker!

Cance won MSR, so i dont think Geelong will trouble him.

yes he wants the RR win, but give up TT? well, I prefer seeing a new Worlds TT champion

Geelong won't trouble him by being to hard, the issue is whether it will be to easy. If it's to easy he won't be able to attack and lose the sprinters.

 

[Sasquatch]

Cancellara has hinted he may not be concentrating on the world time trials anymore. He's won it plenty of times, he doesn't need to keep winning it. He wants the rainbow jersey on the road. Then his career will almost be complete.

 

[Sasquatch]

All depends on if there are splits before they get to Geelong and if the circuit is done on a high pace.

But if say a group of three or four get away after the bridge or before the bridge after the first climb, who is going to be left to chase for the other countries?

it is a course not easy for sprinters i think

next year's Copenhagen course is more for sprinters
