Tour of Qatar (2.HC) 8/2 - 13/2

[samhocking]

Startlist times: http://www.steephill.tv/2015/tour-of-qatar/03-tt-start-order.pdf

Everyone is started 1min intervals so over in 2 hours, so I doubt the wind will play that much of a factor today? I doubt riders were loosing time yesterday just to start half and hour earlier today anyway?

Difference

I'm looking forward to see the difference when they are riding on normal bikes in a time trial instead of their time trial bikes.

 

[Netserk]

1st Lars Boom 14'33''

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

With Boom only 23s faster than Timmer he will not be up there today.

 

[wirral]

Last year 45 riders 14min or under including Boom! I am assuming it is exactly the same course.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

They rode TT bikes last year.

It is. Except in the opposite direction.

Awesome TT bikes they were on last year...

Looks very smooth

Sorry, I assumed that was the only explanation why everyone is a minute slower. It is a circuit so wind factor is a little bit limited.

@tourofqatar_

We have a new leader, Matthias Brandle (14'21), ahead of Van Keirsbulcke (+2") and Boom (+12"). #TourofQatar

Wiggo 14:12, leading by 9s

 

[grizzlee]

Wiggo 14:12, leading by 9s

[LosBrolin]

Don't think that's going to be enough

It wasn't. Cancellara 14:10

 

[indianfanboy]

Cancellara beasting will this be enough...will Terpstra or some one else beat it??

 

[TheQuick]

Time

I think both Terpstra, Stannard and Bodnar is going to have a chance to beat the time.

 

[grizzlee]

It wasn't. Cancellara 14:10
