No live text either?

Biciciclismo (as always).

Well, there is apparently SOME coverage starting at 14:00CET. Not sure what it will actually be, since as you say they'll have wrapped up by then.

Irizar, the last rider, is scheduled at 12:51

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Biciciclismo has live text. Elsewhere, follow Movistar's twitter, that's pretty useful.

The coverage appears to be part of Canal Sur 2's Tododeporte show, running from 12:00 to 14:30, so we'll get a summary and/or highlights. It will be repeated on Canal Sur 2 at 00:00 and on Canal Sur at 03:20.

Edit: José Iván Gutiérrez goes 3rd with 7'01", behind Matthews and Bille.

Looking forward for the performance of Taaramäe in the prologue and in the tour overall. He couldn't show his top form in the first races of the season for different reasons.

Thanks.


Any idea of Taaramae's starting time?

Hope this training will help him out:

Kelderman starts at 12:33, so at 12:39 we'll learn of his awesome record breaking performance

In the start he said that he was going to drive 30km to the place where the training will start. Then he will drive about an hour behind the motorcycle in 50-60km/h. Then he introduced the motorcycle rider and the motorcycle..

Not really a course for him, I think. Flat, out and back course with hardly any corners.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nice time by Tom Dumoulin, 7:00 3rd place currently youth takes over

 

[classicomano]

3. Wilco Keldermann (Rabobank) 7:00

BOOOooooo!!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman duplicates Dumoulin, also 7:00

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Clearly Wilco crashed and had a mechanic.

Clearly Wilco crashed and had a mechanic.

Yup he was at 1km to go with a time of 1:00 but then had 3 bike changes and a flat tire in the final 200m

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gretsch! Awesome time 6:49

another win for 1t4i in the making

 

[Samson]

Taaramäe 7:01. Decent time. He didn't expect anything big from the time trial since it's so short.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Ah, Gretsch! Earning me pointsin the CQ manager game

Gretsch! Awesome time 6:49

another win for 1t4i in the making

Time for a "Patrick Gretsch is the new Eddy Merckx" thread

Two wins for 1t4i in one day. They're now the biggest team of the Netherlands (Germany).

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Valverde 7'08". Movistar report he's 17" off Gretsch's time, so either they're wrong and he's 19" off, or one of the times we've been reported is 2" out.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vlaverde with a very decent 7:08, keeps him in check for final victory

 

[El Pistolero]

I wonder if Wilco will be specialising in prologues, every good cyclist needs it niche where he excels in.

 

[Samson]

Coppel 6:52. He's been good in time trials.

Kelderman is way too good to specialize in prologues.
