Re: Re:

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.

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

Where can you see that?

Aru lost 44 seconds to Contador. Alberto is just behind Matthias Brandle, a short TT specialist, which is a good sign I believe.

Re: Re:

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

It's not extreme, 37s second part, 26s first part. We don't know about wind etc. maybe the 2nd part was more exposed. And there were cobbles in the final km.

Cancellara was flying in the second part. Even Panzer lost time.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Cancellara beats Panzer by five sconds.

 

[bajbar]

Martin 5 sec of the pace of Cancellara in 2nd place.

 

[Vasilis]

Look at all the Movistars not winning

Yes, and 23s/27s behind Dowsett and Castroviejo. It's acceptable.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

G clocks the same time as Cancellara at the time check.

Re:

He has really done well, and I believe that this year he's gonna be a real beast!!

Really bad Uran, a rider like him cant do that sensation when he will be one of the favourites in the ITT of the Giro. He looked emply yesterday, so I am not very surprised, but...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

This is looking better and better!

 

[Pricey_sky]

G with a good first split, let's see how the 2nd part goes....

 

[LaFlorecita]

Pinot 21'59"

 

[Tonton]

Re:

Pinot 21'59"

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Movistar Triple Izaguirre, Oliveira and Castroviejo all 21:34.

 

[Taxus4a]

What a great race for Movistar: 3,4,5,6 at the moment.!!

 

[DBotero]

Zakarin not good enough today

 

[Vasilis]

I think Martin will take race lead by 8s

 

[LaFlorecita]

Thomas was s.t. as Cancellara at the intermediate point but he lost 28s in the 2nd part. Monster Cance

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Geraint Thomas 28second down.
