[PunchingRouleur]

Astana slower than Lotto with Greipel as a fifth man on a climb.

Edit: sry, wrong Lotto

Re:

I thought Birdsong was one of the Astana 5, was that not the case?

He was.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Astana winning less then a minute on Lotto and Trek is poor

Re: Re:

Movistar + 4
Katusha + 18

Not bad from the Russian squad.

good by katusha,bad by movistar

But still, 2nd part can change a lot.

 

[Campervan man]

Think Astana might be happy with that. Nibali was pushing hard.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Movistar and Astana with similar times to IAM. Hmm...

 

[HiroAntagonist]

Ugh, Froome needs to put on some sleeves.

Re:

Astana disappointing time

I wouldn't be so sure.

Re:

I wouldnt say this to fast IAM was a dark horse here but doesnt look to good but to early to tell imo.

Moviestar on second time would be a good reference !

Clement said that this was the best TTT he ever had with a team(which is not hard though..)
There was good balance.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Astana were 2nd fastest on the final climb - but that final climb hasn't been much of a factor so far

He was.

Yes its just he had to make extra effort to get back

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Katusha... ouch

 

[the sceptic]

not good from astana

 

[Publicus]

JRod is losing buckets of time....

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Movistar usually doesn't start out very fast. I wouldn't be worried.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Katusha really bad
Cannondale at the finish also not good

 

[Arredondo]

So 2 minutes loss for Purito concerning Froome at the end of the day

y ppl claiming astana failed already... have you guys taken into mind that they lead 7sec on moviestar on the first? That beeing said I agree that it didnt look good but imo far to early to write em totally off as a failure lets rather wait for moviestar's second timecheck for a better reference!

Re:

I think it's not bad considering we're 9 days in. It's a tough ride for them all, it's a decent time.

Re:

The spotted jersey is the goal, I'd say with certainty.

 

[whittashau]

Any chance for rain any time soon?

 

[The Hitch]

And Team Cn Forum is underway.

 

[rm7]

Basso will get dropped just after the intermedie time.

 

[Publicus]

Apparently Nibali blew up his team (lol)
