Vuelta 2018 Stage 1: Málaga 8 km ITT

Re: Re:

TiboPino like meh, nothing special +20 to van Baarle

+14s to "not going for GC" Mollema

I'm not buying Mollema's crap. He is trying to do GC for as long as possible and only if he fails he'll go for stages I think

It's worth taking a look at GC first. Though his best performances at CSS have been after stagehunting in the Tour.

He's gonna have to show himself a little bit if he wants to lead at the Worlds.

Same thing with Majka

Kwiat vs Majka is an interesting choice.

Actually I'm pretty sure I'd pick Majka

But Poland doesn't have to make the race at all, so they probably won't get in each others way at all

Yeah GC-wise Majka>Kwiat (probably, because Kwiat is at Sky wich makes him unpredictable as hell).

 

[Carols]

NBC with Sherwin and Roll and EuroSport with Kirby and Kelly....UGH. Plus the both have commercials on at the same time

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Nice time for Manny B

 

[May0maniac]

Good time for Buchmann, +9s to van Baarle.

Re:

Minimal cycling knowledge would dictate that Porte is not a factor in this Vuelta. He's been injured, signed for a new team, thinks about the Worlds.

Yes, he had stomach problems but still it's so sad there are so many members of this forum with minimal cycling knowledge - at least 18, Porte won The Poll..

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Nice from Teuns & Hart

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Kuss finished 57 seconds down?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

Yes, he's 6th to last out of 110 finishers. Not that it matters much

 

[Red Rick]

Boom at 3s at the intermediate

 

[Red Rick]

Boom exploded on the 2nd part

I think Zakarin may surprise here

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

oh, castro, forgot about him

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Majka Decent +14

 

[El Pistolero]

Glad Van Baarle's time is beaten.

Re:

He looked happy too, can finally take a shower and eat something.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Oliveira new leader 9,56

Re:

Yes

 

[RedheadDane]

Gotta agree with the Danish commentators that it's an amazing "graphics photo" of Mas; looks like he's trying to beat Chaves in the competition for biggest smile.

Re:

no surprise there, he's TT is utter ***. He was *** in the prologue of Utah as well

 

[HelloDolly]

I thought Kelderman or his team were saying he had no form

 

[GuyIncognito]

Re:

A prologue is no indicator of form. It's more an indicator of who undercooked/overcooked the warmup and who got it just right.

Tomorrow we'll see what his form is

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

?

On the contrary. Kelderman said his legs felt super in training and he expects to be with the best in the GC

I see some symptoms of being ironic
Unnecessary. With Majka and Kwiato it's only between them and no one analysing them
And both guys can dom and lead. The Day will decide probably.
