Tour de France Stage 2 (3/7/11) - Les Essarts 23km TTT

[dlwssonic]

doesnt zabriske look like captain america

 

[Gubby Allen]

Garmin flying. 7 secs up at the first checkpoint.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Garmin as expected fastest. 6 seconds so far

 

[Sofía_]

the schlecks can suck wheel the whole time while those 7 super timetrialist go to work. and they will still get a great time.

TTT is about that

 

[GroupDK]

garmin- 6.6 from rabo on 1 check

 

[Ramira]

Garmin 6 seconds faster, could be around 30 seconds on the finish line if they can keep it up.

 

[Finn84]

Garmin 9'03"

 

[ak-zaaf]

Almost 60km/h

Dean loses contact.

 

[Spine Concept]

Well done Rabo boys, but they are not going to iwn...

No one said they would win, just that they would do well.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Garmin crushes it all

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

lol @ hitych, dunno what you were watching but i saw gesink do his share at the front. Maybe not as much as the stronger guys but he still worked.

your whinning is getting a bit old.

did ACF say BMC would beat rabo in this TTT?

he did. vintage acf

 

[The Hitch]

Look on the bright side. In the Vuelta 09 Gesink had a similar bonus on Sanchez and he lost it in the end due to a fall. The tour has 21 stages and anything can happen. Cheer up

40 seconds is not the same as 150.

And it has to be admitted he earned every single one of those seconds. In this case he hasnt earned 1.

Besides its 2 weeks till the main stages. Thats a lot of time of looking at that same ranking.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Garmin crushes it all

No suprise, they built the entire team round the TTT.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Dean dropped already though, at 8 before first point.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Garmin is really strong. Go Wiggo!!!

they do have a chance of doing so you know

 

[Jamsque]

Garmin looking strong, they will probably finish with 5 or 6 as per usual.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

they do have a chance of doing so you know

sure they do

Garmin doing well.
I hope they don't win tho. Building a team around this stage is lame.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Fdjeux, like Saxobank, lost a lot more time in the last part.

Rabobank really did the last part well. If Garmin-Cervelo does the same, they will crush all life in the final part

 

[DenisMenchov]

Garmin, HTC and Leopard will go faster for sure.

But it's a good time by Rabobank I'm sure. They finished almost complete until the final 500m, so teams who are willing to shed the weaker links will go faster

NO they won t especially because this is a really short TTT.

 

[BillytheKid]

As said: Garmin Strong....

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

In the last 6km, Rabobank got 2 seconds per km on Saxo Bank and Fdjeux...
The last 6km have headwind according to Boom.

So the last part will be deciding between the best teams (Garmin, Sky, HTC, Leopard)

Liquigas not as good as they have been in the past.

they have a couple of solid time trailer this year

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Liquigas at 22 seconds.

Basso to lose 30s+ on Gesink

 

[Publicus]

Any word on liquigas?
