Kelderman fading slightly

Fantastic time.

 

[DFA123]

Great ride from Kelderman. No sign of fatigue - has a real shot at the podium.

Re:

B-b-b-but López finished 2nd in Suisse once!

It's alright imo. Losing 2-ish minutes on Froome in a TT like this is managable if his climbing performance is a good as it seems. He's not winning the race this year, but he might another time.

Chaves on the other hand won't.

Fantastic time.

Definitely

Froome wins his second stage of lavuelta 2017 , pretty closing the battle for gc also , have to remember that with vuelta win he will be the 5 th best gt rider EVER

 

[DFA123]

Pretty embarrassing from Chaves. Difficult to see him winning a GT unless he can improve considerably.

 

[Red Rick]

Last year Purito retired. However we will not go without a tiny punchy happy nice climber with a dreadful ITT

 

[The Barb]

Nice Zaka!

Lopez is 2:05 behind Kelderman. No way that Froome beats Kelderman by 55 seconds.

 

[portugal11]

Froome under 47... vuelta is over fuys. It was an amazing 2 and half weeks but it is over

 

[Eclipse]

Really good finish from Zakarin. One of his best TT's in ages

 

[Rollthedice]

Zaka, very good TT. Some guys are flying.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Zakarin rides his best time trial since 2015

 

[DFA123]

Zakarin proving he can still put in a great TT when he doesn't crash.

 

[telencefalus]

AND THIS IS FROOME saving energy imagine if .....scary

 

[bob.a.feet]

Pretty good TT by Nibali

 

[Rollthedice]

Nibali very well paced, experience and grinta.

Re:

And he is still the best from Orica... A lot to improve for that team!!

Well, Purito's TT was not as dreadfull as Chavito's

Apart from the Penafiel TT

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Wow this is bizarre. Top 5 TT times = top 5 GC after the stage

 

[Eclipse]

Really good closing splits from Vincenzo

If Froome wasn't about to blow this to smithereens that would have made this very interesting

 

[Climbing]

Imagine if Froome was a decent bike handler. :lol:

 

[DFA123]

I think all of the top 4 would have happily taken this result at the start. Still all in contention.
