Live timing anywhere?

Re:

Campenaerts with a fast time. Wonder what the wind will do later on.

No wonder.. Him and Rohan Dennis must have saved a lot of energy this Tirreno Adriatico.

 

[DNP-Old]

Dennis slow as hell. Merida bikes are terrible.

 

[HelloDolly]

anyone got a link to live timings please

 

[DNP-Old]

Dennis in 2018: 11:14
Dennis in 2019: 11:32

Yeah, wind and such might be different, but this difference is too big to downplay. He is missing his BMC wondermachine.

 

[Laplaz]

I don't think there is live timing, just as usual in RCS races...

The TV commentators don't have them either,
apparently form what I heard.

The legs are what he's missing.

He's gonna get beat by Adam Yates today. :lol:

To be at the start wearing the TT world champion jersey gives me more responsibility and expectations.I think my conditions is quite good, I felt very confident during the TTT in Camaiore, I had a couple of rough days in the middle of this race but I think last year I was a little worse. In the last period, I had been training a bit more with my TT bike and I feel ready for a good race”.

Hardly.

Langeveld beating Dennis in a flat 10 km TT :surprised:

 

[DNP-Old]

Cannondale and Scott bikes = good improvements.
Merida bikes = godawful trash

The whole team is doing wonders in TT this year

:lol: The proof is in the pudding.

 

[Scarponi]

Was the BMC Timemachine the best TT bike in the peloton?

 

[JosephK]

I wonder if wind direction is actually playing a role, here. At the 4K mark, Rohan Dennis had the fastest time split by a couple seconds. Looks like he trailed off in the last part of the course.

 

[HelloDolly]

INdeed its is the bike ...just as Kung

Re:

Langeveld is on fire this year. EF should keep him in a free role, because it would be a waste to sacrifice him for Vanmarcke.

BMC and Bianchi if you ask me...

Easily (one of )the best. Specialized, Giant, Pinarello and Canyon are good too, and Cannondale and Scott seem to have made some improvements over the winter too.

Merida on the other hand is proven to be the opposite. Riders have seen quite the decline in ITT results once they signed with Bahrain.

apparently Dimension wasn't happy with Cervelo either. Let's see how Dumoulin will fare in his first ITT today.

That's what I was curious about too, but they released a new one recently I think. Wonder how he'll fare.

Edit: here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij-od5Zwv2A. They have been using it since the Tirreno TTT.

On the other hand, Sunweb was very unhappy with Giant as well. Especially the lack of updates and innovation.

Rosskopf's suit is pretty sweet
