Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 7: San Benedetto del Tronto (ITT) 9.3km

[Moondance]

geolocated RS2 just showed FabCan finish at 10.33

Mucho impressive.

EDIT: Ran the math. 10'33 would mean an average of 52.9 km/h. Sick.

 

[El Pistolero]

again you assume boom went all out.

nice time by tree.

Why not? Leaving Gesink isolated isn't a good tactic.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

12.02 for Pippo Shoes Pozatto

 

[boomcie]

1. Fabian Cancellara (Leopard-Trek) 10:32
2. Lars Boom (Rabobank) a 10:42
3. Rick Flens (Rabobank) 10:53

Differences are still big right now...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

BTW RaiSport2 isn't much cop at the mo.
It just showing the final straight with the PA/loudspeaker
commentary - due to tech/sound problems

 

[boomcie]

Rosseler: disappointing time.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Malori now 3rd 19" down on FC

1. Fabian Cancellara (Leopard-Trek) 10:32

3. Rick Flens (Rabobank) 10:53

A 9 second gap is not that unusual between Cancellara and his nearest competitor.

Condescending remark. Everybody, even my girlfriend who hates cycling knows this and that is no exaggeration. Thanks anyway.

According Salvodelli on the motobike - the wind is against on the way back and
Cancellare kept the same speed meanwhile Larsson lost a lot against the wind.

(could be some riders in between who have the same time)

Edit: Krivtsov 19., so there must be some riders with the same time as anyone else in front of him

Good times by Boom, Malori and Flens. Larsson and Grabsch dissapointing

Yeah, Larsson cannot be satisfied with his time, compared to the guys just above and below him.

 

[Rocksteady]

Some guys using regular bikes instead of TT bikes? Looks like Ventoso and the ISD guy behind him both using regular bikes. Is it a question of not caring?

 

[roundabout]

Looks like Nuyens will be in good form for the classics.

 

[Reuell]

The Tank's form seems to be ok as well

 

[Sasquatch]

How is Grabschy's time disappointing?

He has never been good at short time trials.

His best performances in time trials have been over 25km, with his outstanding performances above 40km.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Langeveld with a very slow time, he didn't seem to care today

Yes, but this was a short time trial with almost no corners and completely flat. He DID do well in those before (f.ex De Panne)

 

[Moondance]

Langeveld with a very slow time, he didn't seem to care today

Probably wants to save his strength for MSR.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I wonder what Ballans time is. In the past he did some pretty good short time trials, also in the Tirreno.

 

[Moondance]

We've been staring at Ballan's butt for a bit too long now for me to feel entirely comfortable

ACF will be enjoying it. Though, I think he prefers Evans
