GVA 14:26 very good time

 

[TheQuick]

Boonen

Pretty bad time from Tom Boonen 14:52

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Terpstra, a top quality rider.
Congrats with the win.

 

[indianfanboy]

Kristoff faster than Sagan

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Bad TT for Boonen

Congratulations/Proficicats to Terpstra

Bad TT for Boonen

Shame for Boonen. I hope he and Etixx don't ride defensively now - would be nice to see some more echelons in the next few days.

Disappointing from sagan 14:49

He's just good at Prologues. Not surprised that Terpstra is leading Qatar, but that he's won the ITT.

If there is crosswind, only working model is driving at the front, otherwise Etixx will likely lose time.

 

[JRanton]

Luke Rowe has really stepped it up this year.

 

[Catwhoorg]

I'm disappointed I had him to win today to odds 40, it's only 2,73 seconds.

I think people forget just how good at ITTs Stannard can be.

The problem is that he is rarely let loose on them, and is normally under team orders to go easy and save his energy.

Good show for him today.

Why should hey? They got the leaders jersey and under those windy conditions, attack is the best defense

 

[Catwhoorg]

Good to see EBH up there is the TT results as well.

Maybe the team switch will rekindle his winning ways.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I think he has already dissapointed somewhat in his new colors.

10 km is on the limit between a TT and a prologue. Sagan should have done a bit better.

 

[Dr. Juice]

Surprised by Bodnar. I never knew much of him. Where is he good at? Seems to do fine in short TT's.

It's hard to bet against Etixx in these sort of races with the wind the way it is. I think it can be said with a good amount of certainty that they will attack, split the field, and continue to give everyone a hard time. History shows this is what they do often.

Surprised by Bodnar. I never knew much of him. Where is he good at? Seems to do fine in short TT's.

He is a solid TT who developed into a pretty decent flats/classics domestique. A bit underrated as a domestique I believe but he's definitely a great addition for both Sagan and Contador.

 

[elfed68]

Bodnar to deliver on his talent also see Stannard show up, Wiggins depends which side of the bed he gets up on.

Wiggins seems to be the equivalent of the French Rugby Union team, capable of beating anyone yet capable of loosing to anyone.

If he was underrated domestique he wouldnt be on Tinkoff Saxo team imo

Not technical enough for Sax. Today was pure power for 14-15 minutes.
