Vuelta al País Vasco 4–9 April 2016

[May0maniac]

Felline could do well in the ITT.

Kirby: Frank Schleck on a day like this? Yeah, why not...

 

[JRanton]

There's Kirby slagging off Rolland again.

 

[Carols]

Frank Schleck is in this race? Who knew?

Re:

He has done it. He's ridden the entire week in the shadow of Zubeldia

Re:

Any chance ...there are several rider sin this race that have under performed but Kirby has to concentrate on Rolland all the time

Re:

Zubeldia gets loads of air time but not at his strong discipline....looks very cautious

Not exactly his strength. He last placed top 10 in a non-prologue TT in a big race.....13 years ago.
In this particular race he's never made the top 10 of a TT or even come close.

2 seconds faster than Cataldo after 6.6 km.

Amazing how good he is on these brutal climbs when it's in a TT.

 

[Velolover2]

Descent looks slippery wet and very technical! And it's rainy right now. It's going to be fun.

No.
But he was. He's finished it by now

 

[blackmamba]

There will be a lot of time to gain on the downhill for those willing to risk a little more

 

[Red Rick]

Odds of

Schleck descending slower than climbing?
Schleck DNF'in when he reaches the top of the climb?

 

[GuyIncognito]

Petilli and Edet doing top times....forget who's good in a TT then, this is 100% for climbers

 

[carolina]

adam yates almost 50 second faster at the intermediate

 

[Alexandre B.]

Why can't Roubaix scrounge itzulia weather?

 

[May0maniac]

Felline first, 7 seconds faster than Cataldo (30:56).

Andy?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I see no sign on it on the profile, but that is a stiff enough climb through a town when there is about 26/27 minutes on the clock.

Frank obviously.

Yes, I think it's the one Taxus was talking about in his posts.

 

[rune1107]

Adam Yates blazing it up!!

 

[carolina]

I'm scared for tibopino in the descent.

 

[Red Rick]

Kreuziger even risking his life in a tt for Contador.
