You really think he would have done much better today?DeVlaeminck said:
Not picking on you Bob as a few have made similar comments but doesn't that result suggest they *should* have gone all in for Kelderman the other day?bobmcstuff said:Wow that was great!
Watched it on the turbo. Massive heart rate spike for the sprint.
So, who still thinks it was a bad idea for Hindley to follow TGH and Dennis the other day??? Should he have waited for Kelderman again today
Kelderman's only like 1'32" back isn't he, so if he has a decent TT he could still place well.
I take it we think Tao is a better TTer than Hindley...
We won't know for sure until after the TT but if you agree with Bri Smithy about Kelderman limiting his losses to ~1 minute on the Stelvio stage had he had help and factor in him getting help today had Hindley waited it's possible Kelderman could still be in pink.
He only started getting time back when Hindley and TGH started marking each other on the climb. Dennis and TGH up the road together without Hindley would have got a bigger gap. And it wasn't like Kelderman was totally alone in that group, there were plenty of riders with reasons to ride - he couldn't follow Almeida either.
I just don't see it at all.0 -

How much is it worth, if anything, to be in the lead and thereby last man off in the TT?

Not sure it matters much as he's 1'32" back and it's not a long TT, but what's Kelderman like vs those two?No_Ta_Doctor said:Head to head in TTs
8-2 to Tao, who has a podium, another top ten, a couple of top 15s. Hindley's best result a 34th place.

76 ------ La Vuelta ciclista a España - Stage 16 (ITT) ('18) ------ 87
Then there's another minute twenty back behind Kelderman.
I'm doing a big ride tomorrow so might miss the finish... anyone got an idea what time the finish will be with the clock change?0 -
If Sunweb had chosen differently, I'm pretty sure the people who are most convinced Sunweb did the wrong thing on Stage 18 in our timeline would have been the same people being utterly convinced that Sunweb did the wrong thing on Stage 18 as they watched Kelderman fall off again today in the alternate one...0

Assuming Ganna wins tomorrow, that will be 8 stage wins for Ineos.
When was the last time a team won that many stages at a GT?0 -

What we did learn today that cannot be in doubt is why Sunweb wanted yesterday’s stage shortened, and why Ineos didn’t. Kelderman was burst.Lanterne_Rogue said:If Sunweb had chosen differently, I'm pretty sure the people who are most convinced Sunweb did the wrong thing on Stage 18 in our timeline would have been the same people being utterly convinced that Sunweb did the wrong thing on Stage 18 as they watched Kelderman fall off again today in the alternate one...

Yes absolutely - the other day you mean? - I'm sure you are right and how much faster TGH would have gone is an unknowable just as how much faster Wilco would have gone with support then and today is unknowable.Lanterne_Rogue said:
That assumes that TGH wasn't holding something back on the final climb to try and stave off Hindley's sprint though. It's plausible he could have gone quicker if Hindley wasn't there.DeVlaeminck said:

I'm happy to leave it like that - just don't see today as proof positive Sunweb got it right - if anything I'd argue it favours the Brian Smith view.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

if wilco after the TT is with in 30 secs of the tao who wins then the argument hindley should of dropped back will be forever made.DeVlaeminck said:

if Hindley wins then no contest really
if tao wins over Hindley marginally and wilco is out of it no contest too.
the argument will depend on how close wilco comes to the jersey

Purely hypothetical, but what if, for example, TGH had .72 in the first TT and .58 in the second, would that add an extra 1.3 seconds to the overall? Or would the .3 seconds be used as the tie breaker? Has anywhere published the fractions?RichN95. said:larkim said:What's the tiebreaker rule that sees Hindley in pink?
It's done on the fractions of seconds in the Time Trials.
No time would be added. It would just be 1.3 seconds v whatever Hindley had for who gets pink.Twitter: @RichN950 -
