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

[roundabout]

Somehow i find it hard to believe that the course is 3.5 km long. 3.43 is an extremely fast time for what seems to be a technical route from the map and Meyer's description.

To be fair, Van Winden is quite good at this stuff. He won't win though.

Vino sets new time 2 seconds faster than Winden.

According to the Radsport ticker, Van Winden had an average speed of 56.4(!).

Work on your Spanish, he has the second time 1 second slower than Van Winden.

No, he is slower according to Radsport

Tony Martin should start anytime soon and probably destroy all life on earth

kinda reminds me of the last years giro prologue, wiggins won that one infront of bookwalter and evans.

This is not a slight on Van Winden, I just thought that for a course like this the times would certainly be slower.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The start order pdf earlier in the thread had the prologue distance as 3.0km which might be more realistic

Tony Martin should start anytime soon and probably destroy all life on earth

Given the fact that he's German I'd call that a pretty misguided remark

 

[dlwssonic]

the live tickers are snail pace

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They're taking pretty long to post Tony Martin's time.

if canc rides the world championships he will beat tony martin by a minute

 

[Jamsque]

if canc rides the world championships he will beat tony martin by a minute

I agree, but Canc won't. He is too fixated on the road title.

 

[El Pistolero]

if canc rides the world championships he will beat tony martin by a minute

Don't worry, he won't ride it.

 

[dlwssonic]

I agree, but Canc won't. He is too fixated on the road title.
