Tour de Romandie, April 29th - May 4th

[Samamba]

I don't expect that, but he could very well surprise. How often has he done a TT where he actually tried, in the past? He is riding for a GC in a WT race. Just like Kuss 2 years ago in the Vuelta suddenly beating decent TT'ers.

Almost every TT in a stage race where he goes for GC (which is almost every time)?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Exactly how did Bettiol do this?

a little letter from Vino

 

[Netserk]

Vlasov 2nd.

He was riding for GC in Tirreno and was 156th out of 166 riders.

His Perugia TT from last year's Giro was not that terrible, though.

Vlasov, who is in poor shape, second. It definitely hasn't been a good ITT for Kung.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Vlasov was also good in the Itzulia TT, just can‘t ride road stages

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It looks like Vlasov, unlike Brennan, rode too slow in the first part.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gray-area preparatory methods like ketones and aerodynamic bicycles, along with natural human evolution are in fact the secret to Bettiol's success in this time trial here today.

Still didn‘t beat Brennan‘s negative split

Exactly how did Bettiol do this?

Chinese magic.

 

[Netserk]

Bettiol to steal Masnada's Giro spot with this ride?

Bettiol to steal Masnada's Giro spot with this ride?

Masnada can't be up for consideration, right?

 

[Netserk]

Masnade can't be up for consideration, right?

He's on the provisional startlist.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Remco on the ramp....

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Remco on the ramp....

Who is he riding for today?

 

[Salvarani]

Van Eetvelt… far behind at T1

 

[Netserk]

Nordhagen almost as fast as Brennan.

 

[Salvarani]

Good ride from Nordhagen!

 

[Cycling111]

Visma's material this year in ITT looks very good. In Algarve, Vingegaard and Van Aert didn't seem to be at their best shape and finishing 1-2.

 

[SafeBet]

Good ride from Nordhagen!

Both him and Tejada gaining at least one spot in GC.

 

[Brullnux]

Tejada basically as expected, so I'd be surprised to see Higuita and Fortunato go thermonuclear

 

[Samamba]

Higuita the only one who's not gotten the Astana boost yet

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not great from Higuita, but his hand may still be hurting when riding in the TT position.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not bad, Remco.

 

[Netserk]

Evenepoel much faster than Bettiol.
