If Alaf had used an aero bike and gone balls out on descent he'd be in mustard jersey

Carapaz saved by good pacing. Uran will either pay tomorrow for this show or he can shake hands with Padun...

Fuglsang exit interview:

"I had really bad legs today.
The first 10K was ok, but then I started to hurt
The altitude made a difference
1:15 to Carapaz is a lot, but the race isn't over until we hit the finish line tomorrow
Anything is still possible, but of course it has gotten a lot more difficult".

- and with that, I leave you, much, much more important things than cycling going on in Denmark today

Even if Ala went as fast as the fastest descender (Poels 34s faster) then he still wouldn't be ahead of Carapaz.

There's a slight difference between Duran Duran and Padun. More like Duran pogachared it than paduned it.

There should be an instant ban for writing something like this on a cycling forum

Søren Kragh deciding that 9th is a nice position in TdS ITTs.

 

[Lequack]

Nobody ever expects Uran. I think if Kirby was commentating he would go berserk, he loves to hype up Uran.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Wow, with this sort of finish in a time trial, we might not see all top contenders in the line-up on Sunday ...

Well, I was right about not all top contenders in the Sunday line up, but not about crashes in the TT ...

 

[ice&fire]

Do South American people just carry their country’s flag with them everywhere they go?

It's either them or some wise businessmen selling them at bike races

 

[BlueRoads]

Well it was a very special time trial with many factors coming into play so any result is probably "normal" here.
I would have thought Fuglsang with his climbing legs, descent skills and some weight for the fast downhill sections should have ruled it, but if he had bad legs today...

Nice to see Carapaz in yellow aga- no, wait. This jersey should go to the worst rider, as a punishment. Give him back a decent jersey.

I don't think Uran can take the jersey from Carapaz tomorrow, despite this performance today.

You mean the businessmen sell the flags, not that there's a big south-americans with flags-trade-business going on, right?

RedheadDane-mode off

Now you're being silly. I would never suggest that's it's just "South Americans with flags"...
It's obviously different groups for Colombians and Ecuadorians...

I wish Uruguayan and Argentinian riders would get involved more. They have the best flags.

I've got Uran at a crazy 400-1 each way bet for the Tour at bet365 a couple of months ago. Just saying
Crazy performance.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Very strong display by Uran - his uphill time means he's in a very good form for the Tour. One maybe it was just one day?

Sounds cool!

I just put $20 on him at 200-1 with an Australian betting company that literally has very little idea of what is going on!

That doesn't mean that all their odds are good value though.....they have Nibali and Aru at the same odds as Uran, and SIMON Yates at 50-1. I'm not kidding.

 

[ciranda]

Atomic time by Uran!

Nuclear level. Forget watts you need to take out a geiger counter. He scorched the opposition worse than the Chernobyl region.

 

[glassmoon]

Decent ride by Major Tom.

 

[mountainroad]

Uran traveling back to the Giro of 2014.

This was exactly my thought.

People always seem surprised when he does well but Rigo has always been able to pull out a good performance on exactly this kind of stage when he's in good form.

I like seeing Rigo win. He's a great rider who seems to always come up just short of the top step in the big races. His team seems to like riding for him.

I got Mas at 500/1 ew from them a couple of months ago, I don't think they know what they are doing.

Lol...where, at bet365?
And they had Froome at 40/1 just a couple of weeks ago still
