Vuelta 2012, Stage 11: Cambados > Pontevedra I.T.T. (39,4 kms)

[issoisso]

If Contador is gaining on the flat, Froome is going to get annihilated on the descent even by Rodríguez, considering how non-existant his bike handling skills are

 

[Miburo]

Contador already gained 9 seconds on Froome

edit: why the guy above me is suprised, no idea. Some people forgot Contador was a world class ITT-er either

No I know he's great, he's my fav for today but I didn't think he would already take time on froome here, that's all/

Gesnik 2nd fastest at 1st IM check

This.
Gesink on the other hand is a surprise. Let's hope he hasn't taken a leaf out of Menchov's book and started too fast

 

[cineteq]

Gesink 2nd at 6 seconds

Can he keep it up on the descent...?

 

[No_Balls]

Feel the wrath of the great one!!

 

[luckyboy]

Talansky +1:12 at check 2, no dark horse today

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink +6
Valverde +29

Hmm...

 

[meat puppet]

whoa, gesink! this is excellent news!

 

[ILovecycling]

Alberto is flying already on flat,he will smash Froome on descent and ascent!

Piti 29s down,thats bad

 

[trevim]

Gesink shouldn't crash so often, he would collect many more great results.

 

[Fidolix]

Hmmm, the danish commentators understand it different, AC 9 secs slower than Froome... who is right?

 

[Miburo]

Contador nr.1, **** YEAH !!!!

And usually he saves a lot of energy for the climb, very nice.

 

[luckyboy]

Conti fastest!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador 2 seconds faster than Kessiakoff

 

[happytramp]

Live split times anywhere???

 

[the asian]

Come on Bertie

 

[Parrulo]

contador is a beast!!!!!!

 

[Alpehue]

Hmmm, the danish commentators understand it different, AC 9 secs slower than Froome... who is right?

Spanish commentators said 9 sec faster for Alberto

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Seeldrayers best time as the finish

 

[Lexman]

Hope Contador can keep this tempo for the whole ITT...

 

[brilleaben]

Lol Seeldrayers has beaten Kessiaboy by 3 mins?? Or just the usual Vuelta organizing screw up...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Seeldrayers best time as the finish

No. That's a technical mistake. You would be a fool to even believe that for a second. Sorry

 

[Lexman]

Seeldrayers best time as the finish

joking? 10char

 

[Publicus]

If I didn't know any better it looks like Contador went too hard on the flat and is slightly gassed.
