Froome only 6th, some work to do as well for the TDF...

dude he at less than 90% ya know? Nibbles is close to peak

 

[Lexman]

More like awesomeness

Never question Vino.

i knew about the awesomeness, won't reply tp the second part of you answer

Froome only 6th, some work to do as well for the TDF...

Froome is not a specialist for shorter TTs.

Heck, two years ago he wasn't a specialist at anything

If anything I find his time ridiculous considering he went full throttle the days before.

 

[forumlurker]

you mean the clinic?

Fool. Vino wasn't doing dope - dope was doing Vino.

Awesome T-A

Contador has a lot more work to do you know

 

[airstream]

Well, to me Tirreno clearly delineated the Tour #1 favorite. More precisely, he stays the same, but confidence is growing up. Nibali positively surprised. Gott watch Sir in Catalunya to discuss about that. Looking forward to next stage races with big guns' participation!

I think 6th is probably Froome's best ever results in a TT under 10km

And AC not even at 80%, the TdF will be a walkover

 

[willbick]

maybe amadour has had TT lessons from Alex Dowsett!!

 

[del1962]

And AC not even at 80%, the TdF will be a walkover

I beleeive Horner was at 70% and Cadel at 60%

So those two will be fighting out for the tour

Dumoulin spent a whole day in the break yesterday and was just 9 seconds slower. And how about Andrey Amador?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Contador has a lot more work to do you know

I know dude I know But let's not think about that right now at least we saw him on the podium

 

[King Boonen]

Dumoulin spent a whole day in the break yesterday and was just 9 seconds slower. And how about Andrey Amador?

How dare you bring reason into a discussion involving Sky riders!!

 

[Flamin]

The start of il Giro is still more than 7 weeks away, so that doesn't make much sense.

 

[El Pistolero]

Dumoulin spent a whole day in the break yesterday and was just 9 seconds slower. And how about Andrey Amador?

Yeah, one day, on a day which he was going to struggle either way anyway. Froome has been good in every stage so far and has a horrible time trial position.

Froome was best of the gc guys despite being the only one who has not done wind tunnel testing, and has the worst tt position.

Froome has a horrible position on any bike. Regarding Dumoulin, I don't see your point.

 

[El Pistolero]

What makes you more tired, one day of going in the red or 3 days of going in the red?

Aerodynamics are not as important during a road race as he can hide behind the Sky train anyway. During a time trial however it is important...

 

[notrolfsorensen]

Actually he isn't that much slower than he used to. At least not in seconds. It's just everybody else that are much faster than him in 2009 for instance.

Or Cancellara last year and the year before in T-A http://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/race.asp?raceid=19874 and http://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/race.asp?raceid=22149

I was wondering if Amador had been getting a bit of drafting from the motorbike - it did seem rather close in the footage, but you never know with foreshortening. Great ride from him anyway.

Was a really good TA overall. I think we've been really blessed with some good racing this year so far with only a couple of damp squibs. Bring on MSR!

 

[Kokoso]

when is the last time Kreuziger actually rode a good ITT?

Tour de Romandie 2012.
Today it was poor showing from him.
