CASTROVIEJO through in 15th at 1st split so probably not going to be the big suprise

Carlton Kirby just explained it!
Warming the calf muscles is considered an unfair advantage.

If it's an advantage, why not just allow riders to do it?

There shoud be a time penalty on it though, not just a fine. What a joke. Everyone should do it then.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Question:

That bevin is 21s faster at the current position compared to the current leader, Archibald?

 

[spalco]

I think Ganna's doing very well, he's already beating some really good TTers. Maybe a moderate surprise.

Nor Lutsenko nor Tratnik, who are both way off the pace too...

 

[SafeBet]

Pippo Ganna fastest at second split. Remco gaining time on Archibald again.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic awful

 

[HelloDolly]

Archibald time looking very good

Tanel Kangert, on the other hand...!

 

[SafeBet]

Roglic paying for the long season efforts?

 

[Red Rick]

Kangert with a super fast 2nd section

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Campenaerts 1s behind Evenepoel at split 1

 

[Lequack]

Roglic not that fast, @ 15km still down on Archibold, whereas Remco was like 30 sec up at that time, so almost a minute down on Remco. Guess the Vuelta fatigue is real.

Undoubtedly

 

[Red Rick]

Dennis 18s faster at 1st intermediate

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Dennis 18s faster

 

[DNP-Old]

I told y'all. Dennis on a BMC is game over.

 

[Tigerion]

Dennis in BMC form

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Dennis!

 

[Red Rick]

It's BMC bike vs Belgian socks

 

[sir fly]

Lutsenko is in great form despite this result, and I'm wondering should the Kazakhs keep him fresh for the Sunday instead of sending him on the road today.
Could be a good move, though. You never know.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dennis smoking it

 

[Red Rick]

Dennis smoking ITT

fixed that for you
