Endura tweet that they think JTL was third

JTL must have had a mechanical...

Nah, he gifted the stage knowing that he's going to hold the charging péloton off in the flat semitappe tomorrow and will then beat Quintana in a time trial. I don't know if JTL is any good against the clock, but Quintana is Colombian.

 

[jens_attacks]

both of them were super awesome on montaroux,definitely real deal athletes.chapeau!

 

[hrotha]

JTL already gifting stages like Indurain.

edit: Zabel'd.

 

[theyoungest]

JTL is Quintana's equal, who would have thought... can't the Giro organizers switch NetApp for Endura?

I think it's just a TT tomorrow, sadly.

The Locke flatland awesomeness will have to wait til Paris-Troyes.

His TT, he was top-20 in the ToB but about 35 seconds of Dowsett over 10km.

They had 23 secs at the summit would be nice if we had some official time gaps for the finish, Poels FTW overall im guessing

Locke finished 3rd I am reading?

Quintana isn't overly terrible in the TT either, should be an exciting fight. Unless JTL was really 3d today and Samu managed to sneak past him.

 

[FujiAnton]

Quintana is not bad at all in TT, i think he might keep the lead if there isn't any TT specialist at 30 seconds or less in general classification.

Stage1:
1. Quintana (MOV);
2. Poels (VCD) 0.14;
3. Tiernan-Locke (EDR) 0.16;
4. Pardilla (MOV) mt;
5. S. Sánchez (EUS) 0.26.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Poels very nice.

 

[roundabout]

Either Locke is quite bad downhill, or sabotage stopped him.

Good chance for Sanchez to win the overall.

 

[theyoungest]

Woutje FTW! He can occasionally TT really well (and also occasionally really bad).

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Ineed, I'm looking forward to Poels in Tirreno.

 

[Havetts]

Nice Quintana.

 

[classicomano]

Poels' form coming along nicely!

 

[jens_attacks]

JTL just third 0_0

what the hell happened there?does he has a weakness after all?did he overtook it on the descent?isn't JTL perfectly sublime?
he will smoke them in the time trial no doubt

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Ineed, I'm looking forward to Poels in Tirreno.

me also. I like his lead up.

 

[hrotha]

You can never be sure with non-specialists but looks like Quintana should have this.
