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

[Descender]

Rock around the clock!

You just beat me, there were too many "who will beat who with how much time" threads.

Hope Contador will beat all the contenders, and except Froome he has got a really good chance, but if Froome will be the better, then I still don't think there will be more than 30 seconds between them.

It's going to be a very interesting TT. That's for sure.
It's hard to predict the winner really. I hope Gesink will do well!

The course will mean that the time gaps between top 4 will be smaller than if it was a pancake flat course. My bet from the top 4:

Froome
Contador 30-40 sec
Valverde 1.40 - 2 mins
Purito 2 mins

Thereby everything will be open for when the mountains begin (and probably Purito and Valverde will be able to take back a little time on stage 12 making it even more open before stage 14)

EDIT: I doubt Matin till be able to win this considering the rough climb and the tecnical descent

Martin, Froome and Contador are for me the absolute favorites.

De Gendt, Boom and Gesink could surprise.

I feel that the second part of the climb is going to be decisive, there you can gain a lot of time.

so based on the latest CN article- this ITT won't have much effect in the GC at all Froome might have the upperhand-but as he claimed- the parcours is "very technical" so the winner will be the one with the sharpest manovering along the route....

I still believe the stage win is between Conta & Froome-BUT don't discard PORTE at all

I'm actually surprised there are people who rate threads.
And people who look the rating too.

I wonder how many of the riders who will stop by the 20km mark for a coffee and a danish...

Is there enough hill for Roche to put in a decent result?
