Firstly, I rarely post on here but I would like to say how much I love these threads. Very informative.
Quick questions - how much time is Simon Yates expected to lose to the main GC contenders on the upcoming TT?0 -
Does Chaves think he's French? Can't take the pressure so shipping a load of GC time so he can go hunting stages and the mountains jersey

It's what, 35k? He lost 49sec to Dennis is Abu Dhabi in 12.5k. He's pretty much where the other climbers are time wise. the opening stage flattered the climbers. I'd say 2.300 -

i'll take that bet 1:38 secs to TD"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0 -

That was a vey technical short TT though, but i reckon 2 mins plus. I hope for him not much more.0 -
So who's going to win the Giro?

I think I read Yates suggested he expected to lose 4 or 4.3 seconds per KM which would suggest you are there or thereabouts.All the gear and no idea...0 -

thats my final word... step up or step off"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0 -
thats my final word... step up or step off
So 1.38 or 2.30, nearest one wins?
I can't loose because i hope you're right 0 -
Frapporti looks hollowed out and gaunt. its an absurdly brutal sport."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

i don't think Td is improving and he is going to leave his legs on the Zoncalan"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

lotto and lotto jumbo and ef along with bora were pulling upfront so not sure where modolo is? maybe to just keep vivani out of the points?"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.
