Vuelta Stage 16: Circuito de Navarra - Logroño (40.2km)

[Rollthedice]

Poels is a TTer?

 

[GraftPunk]

And the clinic to blow up in about ten minutes...

 

[Vasilis]

Contador best time!

 

[telencefalus]

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Poels! Did I miss something? Did he so something like this before in a TT?

 

[jsem94]

Damn what a ride by Alberto.

 

[shalgo]

Poels improved at each time check; clearly Froome is hoping to do the same.

 

[Poursuivant]

Great tt by Poels and Contador

 

[spalco]

Very strong time for Contador, respect.

Best performance in years.

 

[webvan]

Bertie didn't fade too bad, should go up to 6th ?

 

[jarvo]

Poels impressive! he's doing a great Zubeldia impression this vuelta, not helped Froome an awful lot, held in on the climbs and sneaking in around the top 10

He has done some great TT before

Aru, Chaves 7 Woods having nightmares

 

[The Barb]

Froome absurd.

 

[telencefalus]

Poels it's pretty Alien 2.0

Won the Valencia TT a while back. That's it though. And that one had a steep climb in it.

"Playing with ourselves " says Kirby lol

 

[jsem94]

Froome 7s ahead of Keldermerckx.

 

[webvan]

Froome's lead over Kelderman down a bit, only 7"...

Contador always was a good time trialist. In his best years, he was top5 in the world in flat time trials (best in hilly time trials)

 

[telencefalus]

Froome is now at 130 cpm , ALIEN 1,0 don't want to be beaten

 

[PremierAndrew]

4 seconds slower than Ludvigson, who is hardly renowned as one of the best TTists in the worlds

 

[DFA123]

Not too amazing by Froome so far. He's surely going to win, but if he only takes 30 seconds on Kelderman and a minute on Nibali, the race is still on I hink.

 

[Climbing]

It looks like Nibali will lose around 1 mins from both Kelderman and Froome.

Think Kirby made a mess under the desk as Contador broke the 48 minute mark as he crossed the line

The only real shocker was the 2009 ITT, unreal...they year after in 2010 he was terrible in the last ITT where he shipped tons of time to Menchov.
