What's the Kristoff vs Kittel score?
Not relevant, as an absolute. we all know Kittel is out and out the fastest, but Kristoff can get over terrain that Kittel could only dream of. you wouldn't see him do well at flanders without some significant changes. Like being able to climb bergs.0 -
Indvidual TT today0

What's the Kristoff vs Kittel score?
My sense is that Kristoff can hold his speed for much longer. I mean obviously Kittel has a higher top speed but I think it drops off much sooner. If you look at Milan San Remo last year Kristoff was sprinting from about 500m out and only just got overhauled at the end.0 -

EBH's race to lose then.0

Pretty impressive time gaps to everyone else from EBH. As ever, for such a talent, looks like he's got amazing form for some disappointingly ho-hum results ahead.0

Disgruntledgoat's finished.
Incidentally, I'd just like to remind everyone that EBH and Cav are My Men, by virtue of being Qhubeka riders, and thus: yeah!Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Cav looks pretty aero compared to many of the other riders.
The bars look weird from the front view.
