[SPOILER] Team SKY - Tour de Romandie

[raindog]

Brad should be OK tomorrow, after all he beat him ok in the Paris-Nice tt, but then again you never know. Going to be interesting.

Did you see the last descent? Jesus, it was fast - don't know how these guys do it sometimes.

 

[rich p]

It was scarily fast, true enough. They didn't even look at the wonderful scenery

 

[Flying_Monkey]

It's a very short TT tomorrow. Sanchez could hang on. But clearly Brad feels confident enough not to have worried about contesting the sprint today.

 

[musa]

Is he gonna go last? (Brad that is)

 

[raindog]

No, second to last in front of Sanchez

Is 9 seconds a big gap to make up in a short TT like that ? Genuine query.

Is 9 seconds a big gap to make up in a short TT like that ? Genuine query.

It has a pretty decent size climb in the middle of it, and an undulating finish too, so not a massive gap no.

 

[oldroadman]

Good TT rider who can climb will take up to a minute or more from even a decent rider in difficult terrain over less than 20km. The gamble part is that nothing goes wrong, puncture, crash, mechanical. A bike change will lose a lot of time, with the getting back to speed and break in cadence.

just looking at the standings on eurosport , when did sanchez make up the 2 minutes he was down on wiggo on stage 2 , i thought it was only 10 seconds for winning a stage ?

 

[iLB]

Not sure where you are looking but he hasn't been more than 15 seconds off the pace.

 

[shaunb]

on stage 2 they have sanchez down as finishing in 88th place 2:03 down on wiggins . must be an error on their part...

 

[iLB]

He finished 3rd that day, http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-romandie-2012/stage-2/results some sort of error there yes.

 

[musa]

Wiggin's chain come off during TT, doesn't look like much time was taken...

[musa]

[raindog]
