[jens_attacks]

so who was the guy betting all his internet credibility for euskaltel owning androni in this TTT?

what happened to cobo?purito is the winner now no doubt

 

[Fetisoff]

I noticed Cobo wasn't there at the finish, I think he was dropped together with De La Fuente with 3-4 minutes to go still

 

[Swede1]

It seems like Menchov changed his TT position and and maybe thats why he isnt doing as well..

 

[Fetisoff]

was i the only one seeing one geox rider on a road bike ?

I didn't see that, however I've seen a lot of guys riding in road helmets (entire Topsport Vlaanderen team did, plus few guys on other teams), so it could very well be that someone rode on a road bike

 

[Bavarianrider]

66.6km/h average What the ****

 

[Libertine Seguros]

66.6km/h average What the ****

Downhill. We've been through this.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Downhill. We've been through this.

BavarianRider is always a bit slow

 

[Fetisoff]

BavarianRider is always a bit slow

Tony Martin in the high mountains slow?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Tony Martin is the high mountains slow?

High and low mountains, high and low gradients, they're all the same.

 

[icefire]

High and low mountains, high and low gradients, they're all the same.

Uphill and downhill

 

[Aguirre]

Just wondering if this is the fastest TT in cycling history, 66'6 km/h

 

[will10]

Poggio descent TT could challenge that

 

[roundabout]

Poggio descent TT could challenge that

Poggio has corners.

Anyway Roche took 10 minutes 10 seconds to do 8 km so it was slower.

I noticed Cobo wasn't there at the finish, I think he was dropped together with De La Fuente with 3-4 minutes to go still

yes mystery solved.cobo had a mechanical in the last 2-3 km.
i've seen the stage moments ago.nice to hear purito,sammy and pablo lastras at the microphone just after their rides.purito said at one moment they were going at 100 km/h and sammy said he will attack hard these next two stages.
vuelta a burgos is never disappointing.

 

[Tank Engine]

Tomorrow's finish looks like a very long false flat and otherwise nothing serious, so it looks like any fireworks will be on the last day. Seems JRo territory to me.

 

[roundabout]

It seems that it's yet another uphill finish but maybe this time people like Ventoso will have more luck against Katusha.

11.6km in 9'54" is 70.3kph/43.7mph, wonder where the 66.6kph came from on this report?
