Tuesday 26th April: Tour of Romandie - Prologue: Martigny, 3.5km

[roundabout]

Seeing Menchov in a different team kit is still weird.

Not a great time, but he needs a longer TT.

To lose even more time there?

The Pope gets crucified.
Forget any chance of UK Eurosport.
On goes the snooker. On and on and on and on.............

menchov has never been great at prologues. But that is poor, I wouldn't worry tho. He wont show much here, form building.

westra..could do a good time

westra..could do a good time

i looked at the start list and had him as an outside chance.

vasc. need all the points they can get, come on

 

[Moondance]

Westra off. Is a darkhorse FTW IMO.

Kreuziger a little disappoiting. He's usually top in prologues.

 

[roundabout]

For a very decent prologue rider it's pretty sucky by Kreuziger

 

[Moondance]

Peraud really pushing it.

Not good for my CQ team, but hope he can beat Phinney.

 

[Moondance]

#WestraFail.

Had high hopes for him

Points for 12th?

But seriously, he seemed overgeared for this sort of course

[Moondance]

[Mellow Velo]

Castro has always been good at prologues and time trials. Shouldn't come as a surprise he is up there. But it will be a surprise if he wins.

[Highlander]

How on earth did a Euskaltel rider take the lead in a prologue? Even if they sent out the first man, I would still expect him to be passed.

que the ***

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Stream down?

 

[roundabout]

Either Porte has a beer gut or he has the weirdest breathing.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Basso pushing hard, might break 4 minutes.

 

[Moondance]

Either way, I am doubting Castroviejo's Basque-ness, since there are a distinct lack of X's or K's in his name.

 

[Parrulo]

sorry typo

meant QFT (quoted for truth)

 

[Moondance]

Stream down?

I'll keep you updated:

Basso, 3.56
