Tour de Romandie 2012

[Magnus]

Is LL Sanchez going backwards?

The slower he rides the more time he gets to be in yellow

 

[GazelleFormula]

LOL, Clement, Mollema and LLS within 2 seconds from each other.

 

[burning]

lls looks completely cooked

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Clement, LL Sanchez and Mollema all around the same time lol

 

[hrotha]

Absolutely terrible performance by Lulu. I guess he's not going to be the same again any time soon.

 

[Parrulo]

this parcours are no indication of a possible tour win. the tour actually has mountains, proper mountains, unlike this years pathetic editions of PN and romandie.

he is in good form this season i give him that.

 

[BillytheKid]

Sanchez??? Not down on the bars. Tells all, who spend time on the time TT bike.

GC podium
1. Wiggins
2. Talansky
3. Costa

 

[spalco]

Not a totally horrible time by Sanchez but way too slow.

 

[classicomano]

Weening the best Dutchie

 

[Catwhoorg]

Lu Lu just looks to have his set-up wrong. Did someone put the wrong gearset on for him ?

Wiggo, huge effort to win on the day. looked completely cooked. Boy is he motivated this year.

My stream died, what did Sanchez up at?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Absolutely. With Contador out and all the TT kilometers. Wiggo and Evans are in my book the favourites. He just need to avoid a weak day in the mountains. He will take minutes on the TT stages.

in regards to the tt he will surely take a bunch of minutes from all the itt km, he needs to ride with intelligence tho. Not try and hold onto all the super climbers, and just limit his loses, a conservative boring victory is the way he'll win the tour. Why risk blowing up when you have a tt weapon like this (especially with no ac)

Actually, yes, totally horrible time by Lulu.

 

[bassplayer88]

LLS not looking pretty, hurts me to watch. Wiggo looking very dominant. Ace

 

[El Pistolero]

When's the next boring stage race where only the time trial matters?

Yes, but not many of them, and for the most part ones that are either
a) fairly well suited to Wiggins - long, grinding
b) too far away from the finish for people to stay away from the UK Postal Train.

What a great ride, what a great season.

I am so happy now

22nd on the stage I think, 1:30 back or so.

tour?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And there's the GC... Sky dominance

 

[theyoungest]

Actually, yes, totally horrible time by Lulu.

Not compared to what he has shown so far in TTs in the Rabo jersey. All Rabos were absolutely terrible, did they decide to add extra weight to their bikes?

Props to Wiggo, again. And Talansky, incredible. Made Kelderman look like a Rabobank rider.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

When's the next boring stage race where only the time trial matters?

TDF and then Eneco tour...

 

[BillytheKid]

Not a totally horrible time by Sanchez but way too slow.

His set up looked wrong. TT bars too low. On a course like this, maybe better to ride them higher.

Bayern, probably, unless Mount Baldy is raced really conservatively in California. Then the godawful embarrassment that is the 2012 Dauphiné.
