Tirreno - Adriatico Stage 7: San Benedetto del Tronto: 9,2 kms ITT

[Netserk]

Saxo's main men for this tt, Manuele and Daniele, both abandoned yesterday. Darnit.

The main man is Alberto

 

[airstream]

He won the stage on Saturday!

The result was good, right, but the advantage could be larger imo. Froomey made a decisive move only from 900 meters out. Again in my view he could sprint from under Uran earlier and gain more. But he is very conservative so far. Very. Well, apparently, the sweetest things are stored up for le Tour.

Good news for Cancellara and Boom. Not so good for T. Martin

sagan and nibali in top five then They told yesterday they felt pretty well in the cold and rainy weather and the tt is not long today. Also, they will take 2-3 seconds in each corner, 5 or more in the 180 degree one

 

[HiCadence]

Purito to pull off the ride of his life and take 1st overall.

Sunshine atm.

Does anyone have the starting times?
Thanks

Don't underestimate Boom. In short TTs, he has even beaten Cancellara. Just look at Qatar in 2011.

Times have changed since then.

Only once, in an ultra short TT.

Only once, in an ultra short TT.

On a very technical course, on road bikes. So not exactly the best indicator for today, but Boom is a good prologue rider and could well be top three today.

Of course this result is more relevant to the discussion:

Wish to see this

Will happen this

 

[cineteq]

I can only happen with a fit and highly motivated Froome and a terrible ride by Nibali.

Nibali always was a good TT'er on short distances during one week races. His relative weakness is only a long TT during a GT so it is impossible.

And yet you voted no

And yet you voted no

The use of English in this poll is not cryptic enough for airstream

 

[airstream]

And yet you voted no

option for obvious jokers

are there any live results available?

 

[Publicus]

It's been a relatively hard 4 days of racing. I'm interested to see how the accumulated fatigue affects the GC guys.

 

[TeoSheva]

I don't know, you should check on http://www.gazzetta.it (I can't from the office)
