I'm assuming that time on PCS for Eenkhorn can't be correct. Has him sub 32 mins

Yeah that’s his T3 time they’ve somehow shown as his finish time

If you want to be able to ride smaller gears, you need a second chainring on the bike, so yes, there is a reason.

Og course they can all just ride slower, to satisfy your weird obsession with people getting a push for 3 seconds.

your :gears argument" doesn't hold any water - they have 2 chainrings if the profile is not absolutely flat or downhill... and on the flat TT they are perfectly fine to start from standstill with one big chainring and one of the smaller gears in the back without a push. my obsession isn't about 3 seconds but with the stupidity of those 20m pushes during the ITT race. i will not engage in this debate any longer as it is obviously going nowhere.

Ya, that makes much more sense.

Today it actually wouldve been nice if Remco had ridden the tour. Would be useful to have a reference point around now for the actual GC riders

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu +36 at 1st point.

Every day it would have been nice to have Remco in the Tour, without Giro legs

 

[Samamba]

Campenaerts what are you doing

 

[RobertCrawley]

Campenaerts what are you doing

Pedalling in squares.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Campanaerts taking the piss with that cadence, my knee cartilage hurts just watching it

 

[nightowl]

Campenaerts going for the Ullrich cadence??

 

[Boehmand]

Campenaerts what are you doing

He is such a weirdo

 

[RedheadDane]

Campenaerts what are you doing

Rolf Sørensen speculating if it's a bet.
"I can do this on the big chainring!"

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Tweet from Lotto-DSTNY tomorrow at 11am: Victor Campenaerts will not start today due to knee issues. Get well soon, Victor!

 

[Samamba]

Kind of hilarious France Television chose to put a camera behind a guy who's doing some randing cadence training mid Tour.

He first started with an incredibly high cadence.

Yeah but Campanaerts has always been a little bit nuts

From what I've seen from the finish so far with the headwind, I think changing to the road bike might actually be the right call.

 

[Potomac]

I only tuned in early to enjoy the scenery today.

 

[Lui98]

Campenaerts what are you doing

Strenght intervals?

 

[Netserk]

A headwind would favour the TT setup.

I dont think that is how physics works

 

[glassmoon]

Kung eating up the Lotto riders.

 

[Trofonios]

Küng going well. Might go under 35 minutes.

Edit: or not.

 

[Sciatic]

perhaps UAE have recruited Usain Bolt as a mechanic for the team #marginalgainsandbigbudgets

I think bobsledders would be more effective. Interesting thing in that final Giro time trial—that had specific line beyond which no pushing was allowed. I think to try and mitigate against riders gaining too much of an advantage from the push. They couldn’t mitigate Thomas bike-helmet change deficit however.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Time to turn it off. I'm still scarred by what happened at the Giro when you'd assured me Thomas was going to win.
