I don't think he'll lose that much time but he will lose time. 2 factors - he's got to have improved given his previous showings, and the long TT has significant climbs in it, which suits him more than a flat course.Pottsy said:I don't really know but I'm sure I saw Boardman on ITV4 saying he could lose as much as 10 minutes in 110km of ITTing. Sounds like a lot to me but then Boardman knows a bit more about bike racing than I do...
Bet he could if he was on EPO....laurence said:still... he still didn't throw his bike as far as Riis did in a TT.
I think he needs only 5 minutes or so on Valverde, Kloden and Evans, but Keith's right, they wont be giving him a second from now on in the hills. That's why I think Valv.piti is still best placed for yellow in Paris.Keith Oates said:If he repeats is performance of Stage 8 he could well put ten minutes on the others, although I think from now on he will be more closely marked and challenged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
