Volta ao Algarve 2016, February 17 - 21

[Taxus4a]

The ITT is for classic riders, it has even cobbles:

 

[Carols]

Fabian Cancellara (Trek-Segafredo) has just set the new best time: 20m57s!!!

 

[VanBsr]

New best time!Fabain 40s faster that Dowsett

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Fabu best time at 11.3

Impressive time from Cancellara.

We will see if Tony Martin can beat that, becouse Tony is fighten the overall and it is not the same.

I would imagine TMartin is interested in giving as much as possible, if he's to have any chance of winning the overall. He's behind in the overall and he needs a gap for Malhao

Of course, but he did his best yesterday, and Cancellara save a little for today. It is not the same.


By the way, I am looking at the route and it is really nice with some narrow strechtes at the begining with cobbles, and cobbles the last 600 m at the end. Wind in all the directions.

Cancellara is in scary form.

Thanks! With these people it looks like there is no cobbles.. but try to go with a bike over there...

 

[Taxus4a]

I think Cancellara did 51,5 Km/h. IMO is difficult with the first part of the race, with some corners, cobbles... and later with the wind to go faster than that. Obvioulsly Tony and Luis León will be close, but difficult to beat except changing of wind condition.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Contador is 26 seconds down at km 11,3. About the same time as Castroviejo.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Great intermediate time for Contador at the moment. 5th.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Apparently the wind has slowed down

Re:

If so Tony will smash this!

Re:

Not bad at all! Let's see how his 2nd part is and hopefully he gets over those cobbles

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Nelson Oliveira new on second spot. But also 37 seconds down.

 

[bajbar]

Aru almost a minute down at the intermediate 14min43s (+57s)

 

[Carols]

Tony Martin 8 sec. better than Fabian Cancellara at 11,3 km

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Panzer destroys it.

Eight seconds faster than Cancellera at the time check.

 

[bajbar]

Contador 8th at the finish 22.00

We'll have to wait for the results of other GC riders to see if it's good or bad. But it's better than I expected at least.

Re:

Better than expected!

 

[Taxus4a]

Good time for Contador. But is the best part for him.

He said yesterday he worked more the power in Canarias, so maybe for an ITT he is ok.

I see now 8th at the finish, good time. Maybe 12 at the end. if Cancellara wins, just 1:03 with the best.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

so he lost 37 sec in the last part. That's a lot :O

At the intermediate same time as Pantano, three seconds faster than Zakarin. A lot faster than Aru.

Where can you see that?
