Vuelta a Espana Stage 1: Benidorm TTT 13.5km

[Hugo Koblet]

Good ride by Movistar!

I expected something like that might happen with Sky. I think Wiggins with Stannard and also Löfkvist are a level above the others in terms of TTTing so keeping the team together is hard.

Hahaha, come on now. If no one crashed, there's simply no excuse.

Wiggins lives in Gerona.
He might as well head north, instead of south.
+30" lost to contenders in a time trial.

I don't think there was a Sky crash - it hasn't been mentioned by the commentators.

What a disaster for Team Sky.... How were they down to 4 with a kilometer to go??

This has been a very weird TTT so far.
Cancellara will be tough to beat, but wasn't it Fuglsang who crossed first?
HTC should have this in the bag, though, and Liquigas could do a good time.

Still, a weird day so far.

Meh time for Lampre... That is goood... veeeery goooood

Pretty much as expected for Sky, i have no idea why everyone thought sky would do well in the TTT. they have on time trialler in there, Wiggins, and Stannard is the next best, the rest are not time triallers.

Top ten was always going to be the best they would get.

Nobody saw one, if there was as the tv cameras weren't following them.

No doubt we will find out in good time..

I can only repeat myself: there is a "hill" in the TTT.

Eusko gudariak gera!, as they say.

 

[Ferminal]

Great time Movistar, +14s.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

With the way things are going in this TTT; Euskaltel ftw .

 

[The Hitch]

I hope EE lose over a minute to make it interesting.

Katusha going very well at the checkpoint btw. Only some seconds back.

 

[hrotha]

According to Zandio, no one crashed, but two of them almost crashed into each other near the beginning and they fell behind and had trouble to catch up. Basically they just screwed up epically.

Don't let Libertine read that

 

[Fetisoff]

Geox BADLY behind Katusha already. Katusha did the 180 turn at 6:01 or so

 

[Moondance]

EPIC push by the mechie there. Sprinting out of the car like that
