Re:

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

You don't save energy in a TT.

 

[benzwire]

Pretty good from Nibali

Re:

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

Imagine if he had an efficient pedalling style either

Anyway, tune in tomorrow for another beating from the Toxic Avenger. I certainly won't.

 

[spalco]

Crushing time from Froome. Wow.

 

[bob.a.feet]

I feel like I'm watching Lance all over again

 

[jsem94]

Dawg in at 47.00. Alien level achieved. Probably saved himself for a possible ambush later in the week too.

 

[arvc40]

As expected Froome strongest and winning since TTT

 

[bigcog]

Isn't that was predicted about 1 min to Nibali et al ?

Kelderman vs Zakarin for podium should be interesting over next few days.

 

[telencefalus]

now that froome had save energy he will win Angliru also , and maybe also machous

 

[sir fly]

Congrats to Froome.
Nibali rode one of the best time trial of his career.
Exciting tt.

 

[Forever The Best]

Nice effort from Nibbles to lose less than a minute.

Re: Re:

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

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

Apart from the Penafiel TT

To be fair, I don't think his TT is normally this awful. That knee injury pretty much ruined his season unfortunately.

 

[DFA123]

Not sure I get the hyperbole around Froome for this result. Surely 30 seconds on Kelderman and a minute on Nibali is just about par from what we have seen in the last five years. Maybe even slightly under par for such a flat, non technical TT.

Re:

Seems pretty in line with predictions, probably most expected Nibali around 1:30, but seems to have excellent form.

Re:

Yeah, I think this was actually pretty predictable all over the place.

 

[telencefalus]

Froome is the best gt rider since Bernard Hinault , but that was another sports , so Froome is the best of modern cycling

 

[Rollthedice]

Alien level but not enough. Still has to climb a lot this week, hopefully without the skyborgs.

You've been on this forum for 2 days, yet have already found the time to make 118 nonsensical posts.

 

[telencefalus]

But Nibali is not done yet , of course froome lie about saving energy or not?
