10 km ITT - wide straight roads, chance of some drizzle - G or maybe Dennis.

1. AUS DENNIS Rohan BMC 11'18"
2. NED VAN EMDEN Jos TLJ 03"
3. AUS HEPBURN Michael ORS 03"
4. GBR CUMMINGS Stephen DDD 08"

Why should it be different this year?

Add Küng and I agree.

EBH won’t be there.

 

[Sestriere]

I have a feeling that Tony Martin is in some decent shape. Maybe he can roll back the years a bit? However, the win will probably be contested between BMC riders.

 

[johnymax]

Anything but a Rohan Dennis win would be a big surprise. There are a lot of candidates for top5 tho. Kwiatkowski vs Caruso will be close I think, but still the Pole should be ahead for a couple of seconds.

Is there any link to live timing?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

How are the weather conditions compared to last year? Same wind?

Rain possible towards the final riders. Wind light.

Still no live timing this year i think. Incredible RCS

Küng was involved in the big crash on stage 2 and dislocated his shoulder, that will probably be a problem on the TT bike.

Provisional standings with Dennis on the route
Super strong ride by Pedersen!

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) - 11:22
Patrick Bevin (BMC) - 11:37
Ryan Mullen (Trek-Segafredo) - 11:38
Lennard Kamna (Sunweb) - 11:39
Filippo Ganna (UAE Team Emirates) - 11:42
Maciej Bodnar (Bora-Hansgrohe) - 11:44
Mathias Brandle (Trek-Segafredo) - 11:44

Küng rode in 11:47.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mads Pedersen is slowly becoming a pretty good pro. He was already good in the Giro last year, very big motor for the TT, the classics and just good domestique work.

 

[EddytheBoss]

Watch out for G today!

 

[wirral]

Mitchelton Scott car and camera bike almost coming together.

 

[May0maniac]

Rohan 11:14, Castroviejo 11:22, just ahead of Pedersen.

 

[deValtos]

I feel like the motorbikes are deciding the times as always ...

Well apart from Dennis, his motorbike was constantly half a km up the road.

 

[pink_jersey]

Dennis is a beast in those pure power short time trials.

 

[Laplaz]

Van Emden 2nd, what a ride!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

CF to smoke it
and mechanical on the last straight?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

It would be nice if there was any reasonable way to compare the development of the top times in the San Benedetto TT, as it's one of the few time trials where the route has stayed unchanged for the last four years.

The Italian commentator were doing just that on the RAI
Ron Dennis is 3s slower that last year IIRC.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bit disappointed in Mullen. But maybe this ITT is too short for him.

Good on Dennis though. Looks set for another short ITT win. He really has the worlds course against him this year tho (tough climbing)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

At this point hardly a surprise anymore. Van Emden always good in flat ITT's

 

[Jagartrott]

Rain threatening...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

4.4km intermediate top times so far

Dennis ??
