Vuelta 2017, Stage 1: Nîmes - Nîmes 13,7 km (TTT)

Re:

Hoping for strong performance from Orica.
Despite their GC strength and tactical sense, continuing from far behind could require more spending than it would be acceptable.

With both Yates and Chaves as well, I don't think that they will do as well as usual.

Yes, that's the concern.

It does not appear to be very serious.

Impressive crowds in that arena on the route, compared to how it was in the stadium where the final ITT in the Tour both started and finished...

Let me see if I got it right... it's Adam in the black shirt?

 

[Gigs_98]

Thank god Eurosport has a video which explains TTT's in the most complicated way possible. Still waiting for Flecha to explain us why he thinks the climb in todays stage is the hardest of the race.

I bet it's the one next to chaves.
Tbh no idea who is Adam

 

[Brullnux]

Yeah I think adam is the one who looks slightly older

 

[RedheadDane]

Well... if I'm not much mistaken he is slightly older...

Can't wait for Sammy Sanchez to get the golden leaders jersey in his final season !

 

[deValtos]

What is that squad of FDJ? They obviously went all in for the Giro/Tour. Though I do like Odd the Norwegian.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I love ITT's, but TTT's have somehow never done something to excite me.

 

[Frankschleck]

TTT's are always so predictable and when they are at the start the time gaps don't matter much.

Cofidis rider waves to the crowd as they pass through :lol:

 

[HelloDolly]

[bob.a.feet]

Cannondale should have brought Ryan Mullen, just saying.
