theyoungest said:It's surprising, because with almost the same team, except for Menchov and Freire, they got 3d in the Burgos TTT.
Frosty said:Is a good TTTer simply the same as a good TTer though? In the TTT you have to be at the front for 10 seconds, say, and then recover for 80 seconds. Its not quite the same as maintaining a steady pace,

The Hitch said:Rabo unlucky. Freire dropped.

Trade Kruijswijk for Menchov, and... do worse. It's a good thing he'll ride for Geox next yearMoondance said:The Mighty Steven Kruijswijk was present in Burgos.... And is absent here.
For me that says it all.

A good prologue rider is a better indication of a good TTT-er.Sneekes said:VERY good question.
My guess is that generally a good TTer makes a good TTTer, but that there is a whole other group of riders (roleurs and power sprinters probably) who struggle in an ITT but are good in the TTT.

Frosty said:Not been around that much recently but could he be the next Bauke Mollema??![]()
The Hitch said:I should probably stop repeating what David Harmon (british eurosport says)![]()
Moondance said:Ahem.... That is 'The Great' Bauke Mollema for mortals like you and me...
Also, Kruijswijk is obviously the First Apostle of the Church of Bauke.
