Poor Dennis. Lost bronze because of bike change

 

[rick james]

Froome just barely got the bronze medal.I was expecting better

Look at the 2 who beat him...Jesus, some folk

 

[Ramira]

I'm surprised so many people are disappointed or shocked by Froome finishing 3rd.

He's a great Time Trialer for a CC rider, but he generally doesn't beat the TT specialists, so to be honest he's lucky Martin wasn't at his best.

Edit: And like damian13ster mentioned, that Dennis had to have a bike change.

Re: Re:

So this Cancellare who is no longer focusing on time trials, right? Go figure.

I swear you come across as insanely bitter in every single one of your posts on here.. doesn't it get boring? :lol:

I think I've just proved you wrong.

How so?

With a subtle sarcastic flowing humour.

 

[markene2]

Castroviejo always delivers in championships, he has been stediliy improiving every year, he will be dangerous next World championships

Well done by Fabian, he can retire in style now

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

sucks for Dennis

A likely bronze medal slipped past him, when his TT-bar broke off, I agree. Still, I think he would have been close to Froome in time

I'm not even sure you know what humour is. Bitterness is bliss.

I just wondered what Cance did to poor Kreuziger or Koenig. :surprised:
Then I realized he has beaten Styby in Strade. :lol:

Yup. That most hurt some people so much.

I hope they drink in, today... In both cases the best rider always won. Beating Stybar is easy, he has no relevant victories in the road and only wheelsucks Fabian and Peter. That's all he does in big races.

Dennis lost a maximum of 5s tbf, that bike change was very very smooth

Re: Re:

Happy for second and third place. Cancellara really motored to victory today.

1/10.

Drink it in maaaannnnn... Canc is the best!

Looks like I am not the one drining here You are getting monothematic.

Re:

Nelsinho 7th, repeats Ponferrada result.

Only one faster than Cancellara over the last section.

 

[Kokoso]

Re:

Yeah feel sorry for him.

 

[yaco]

Cancellara was much stronger on the second lap than the rest of his competitors. Dennis will be upset seeing the mechanical cost him a bronze medal, or possibly a silver medal.

Re:

Maybe if you only count the act of changing the bike. Slowing down and getting up to speed again lost more

Never crossed my ming actually.

You are hurting right?

Edit: or just being yourself

You have to agree that this was a nice send off from fabian. From easy wins like destroying the wheelsucker Stybar at strade bianchi, to great wins like burying Froome and Tom today...

Drink it in, maaaannnn

At least 15 seconds.

A rider recovering from an injury and an old man.Btw good try

Re:

Phinney 5 minutes down. His career is over.

Nah, he can make a living out of winning criteriums. Whoops, I mean, the Tour of Utah.

Re:

no you always lose atleast 15 secs

Porte jinxed him. Said before the race that Dennis was in the form of his life and that he expected a medal, or something along those lines.

Lol. Poor Aussies.

He also got a brief rest. The act of changing bike literally cost him 2s

Why are you so agressive?

Re:

Damn poor Jonathan but what a great great ride by Spartacus!

You and Froome just can't get it together, eh?

Dennis swearing live on the BBC

What did he say?

 

[yaco]

Re:

Didn't Dennis have a mechanical in the worlds ITT as well last year?

Yes - Though that cost him one place - Sixth instead of fifth.
