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

[No_Balls]

When you have 6 man left they are going much faster probably

Of course. They strongest and fastest will still be left and it is not a long distance to go.

SBS bjarne riis seems satisfied with the SBS effort on DK TV

 

[mr. tibbs]

Having nothing but text updates for a TTT sucks. I'm going out for a ride--see you guys at the results board in a few hours!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Garmin only 12 seconds faster!!!

Rabobank rode a FASTER last part

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

12 seconds better.

Tough last few km.

 

[Ferminal]

Shack will beat that. Leopard will be the same... having to carry the Schlecks home.

 

[Ramira]

Disappointing finish by Garmin, don't think they'll take it.

 

[Jamsque]

Hushovd too much for the rest! Great TTT from Garmin, they worked hard for this. Now we see if HTC, Sky or Shack can come close.

 

[The Sheep]

Garmin lost to Rabo in the 3rd

 

[superconfex]

slowed in the 3rd part Garmin...looking good for Sky

 

[Ney the Viking]

Wow, Garmin only beat rabo by 12. Thor dropping his teammates on the last stretch. So Saxo 28 behind Garmin, I think Riis is downright pleased right now.

 

[GroupDK]

garmin 24.48
+ 12 Rabo
+ 28 SBS

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So people who thought Rabobank didn't do so good have to eat their words now. Their last part was faster than Team TTT Garmin.

 

[Tuarts]

That was a huge chunk of time knocked off! Well done Garmin!

he should be, it was a very respectable time.

 

[spalco]

Europcar's green Colnagos are gorgeous.

 

[dlwssonic]

garmin quite dissapointing at the end. Im sure thats not the winning time. leopard, htc or shack can do better than that.

Don't think someone actually said that?

 

[BYOP88]

Great ride by Rabobank, lets hope that Gesink can stay upright for the rest of the Tour.

 

[franciep10]

great time for Garmin, pretty good time for rabobank and good time for Saxobank considering the team they have

 

[No_Balls]

garmin 24.48
+ 12 Rabo
+ 28 SBS

28 seconds between SBS and Garmin is awesome

 

[dlwssonic]

everyone waiting before BMC unleashes all hell on this course

 

[Scansorial]

Saxo Bank's ride didn't look pretty, but it seems like they did better than expected.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

If Saxo are as bad as everyone claimed, that Garmin time is pretty poor.

I doubt it will win, but it looks like Bertie isn't going to be losing very much at all today, 30s to Andy maybe. GC gap to stay bridgeable in Grenoble alone.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Wow @ Astanas Skinsuits and bikes. Thats some serious gear, BLING BLING!
