That must have been published in the paid edition of El Mundo. It's amazing that CN is not giving a full account of the interview because the headline was something like "I would give up all to be a rider like Boonen or Cancellara".Viking said:“I’m going to fight, I think I will lose between 2:30 and three minutes,” Rodríguez told Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
I think he'll do a little better than he's claiming. I'd say just a hair over two minutes.
Pinotti drafting a motorbike though...Eshnar said:That was the final ITT of the Giro, when generally gaps aren't high. It was only 28 kms long and he took almost two whole minutes to Pinotti, who we could agree is less strong than Froome...
...and it would start in the garageEshnar said:Purito is lying, if he would have designed the ITT, it would end with a garage ramp.

Rough climb and tecnical descent. Personally I dont think Martin will win this one. But I hope I am wrongPantani_lives said:Martin
Froome 30"
Contador 1'
Valverde 2'
Rodriguez 3'
If anything, the Giro taught us Purito won't attack from far. He's not that kind of rider. So better for the race if he's close after the ITT.sartoris said:The more he loses, the more leeway he'll have in the mountain stages, won't he? Which is good for us sitting on the sofa with a cold beer and some nachos.
Oh, you're certainly right about that. I was just going off of Pavi's predictions.Eshnar said:That was the final ITT of the Giro, when generally gaps aren't high. It was only 28 kms long and he took almost two whole minutes to Pinotti, who we could agree is less strong than Froome...
On real mountains Purito doesn't do that, but on hilly classic like stages I quite like him actually. He did a "long range" attack in a hilly stage of the Giro this year, but failed in his attempt.SafeBet said:If anything, the Giro taught us Purito won't attack from far. He's not that kind of rider.
