Tour of Denmark 2.HC 03/08 - 07/08

[LaFleur]

Looking at the times.. does Dowsett actually have a shot at this? Has defeated everybody by now and even Morkov has lost half of the time he can lose by the first checkpoint!

E: Nope.. missed out on Gaudin who did a strong end. Could Gaudin end up as a winner?
E: Nope.. Bennati very strong first split.

Mørkov lost half of his lead to Dowsett at the first check point....

 

[roundabout]

Gaudin should be ahead of Dowsett by 8 seconds or so on GC

 

[roundabout]

Gerrans is riding out of his skin as well.

 

[Kazistuta]

Wup wup, Gerrans on a roll!! It's gonna be close between him and Bennati.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It is between Bennati en Gerrans now

 

[hatcher]

Heck of a ride from Bennati.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Very strong time from Bennati, even faster than team-mate Fuglsang

 

[jobiwan]

Gerrans!!! Wow!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gerrans wins the Tour of Denmark!!

edit: if he holds on tomorrow

 

[LaFleur]

Wow, awesome time by Gerrans. Still can be close if Leopard can set up a good train?

 

[hrotha]

I must have missed something. Has Gerrans always been able to TT?

 

[hatcher]

Did not expect that from Gerrans.

How on earth is Breschel so bad at time trials?

5th overall for Dowsett?

That ride was F'ing amazing by Gerrans. Glad to see a foreigner win Tour Of Denmark once in a while, and Simon G deserves it.

Funny thing is that when Birdie took his first when back in 2008 when he was just a wee-lil' amateur that was the first time a Dane had won in six years. (Since 2002)

But sure; Simon G deserves it, he was clearly the fastest otherwise I don't think he would gotten it.

Even I didnt expect that from Gerrans. Stunning ride. Good ride as well from Alex who is still coming back from injury. He should be in the top ten now.

Looks like he didn't ride. He's not on the timings at least.

How strange.

The race site doesn't give him a time at all, and he's not listen on the results on feltet.

Feltet just copied the results from the PDR-website. But they are present at the race so it should be correct.

Besides, here is a picture of him in his TT-shirt.

That is quite conclusive proof!

They have now added him to the official site too. Very good ride from him.

What's the situation with regards to time bonuses tomorrow?

What's the situation with regards to time bonuses tomorrow?

3, 2, 1 in intermediate sprints.
It should be 10, 6, 4 in final sprint.
