jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share 15:09:57 CEST Rohan Dennis has averaged a scorching 51.3kph through the 42.3km mark, which is good enough for the best time, 5 seconds up on Kanstantin Siutsou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted September 25, 2013 Share Wiggins and Spartacus have started. Martin now last to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share 15:12:59 CEST And after Wiggins, Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland) thunders down the start ramp to kick off his effort. Four times a world time trial champion, Cancellara's last victory came three years ago in Geelong. One senses that Sunday's road race is his real goal this week, but if he has the legs here, then his former RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel would doubtless tell him that he might as well win... 15:11:07 CEST Bradley Wiggins, or Il Baronetto as he is invariably called in these parts, rolls down the start ramp. He'll be hoping for better luck than he had at the Saltara time trial at the Giro, where a puncture upset his progress and ultimately proved very costly indeed.

jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share 15:14:27 CEST Tony Martin (Germany) lost out to Cancellara in the lone individual time trial at the Vuelta, but he draws solace from the fact that the hilly Tarazona course was very different to the pan flat persorsco he faces today.

Eldron Posted September 25, 2013 Share Blerrie commentators. You are right, I got confused with Sky sponsorship of British team. Probably not helped by the fact that Dowsett is in his British TT champions kit rather than full Movistar kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share The GPS times suggest that Cancellara and Martin are around ten seconds up on Wiggins, but we'll see if that bears true at the first formal check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share Wiggins, incidentally, has said that he will eschew time checks and instead gauge his effort by keeping an eye to his powermeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share 15:21:42 CEST Best time for Cancellara at the 7.2km point. He reaches the top of the climb 10 seconds up on Chavanel, 12 ahead of Quaade and Phinney, and 15 up on Wiggins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share 15:22:51 CEST It's very, very tight between Martin and Cancellara. Martin goes through the 7.2km mark 0.36 seconds down on Cancellara, a gap RAI's Davide Cassani calculates to be equal to 7 metres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcza Posted September 25, 2013 Share 15:31:53 CEST Martin, Wiggins and Cancellara are still en route to the second time check at Quarrata. Unofficial information suggests that Cancellara is 6 seconds up, with Wiggins' deficit continuing to rise, but as ever, we await formal confirmation at the 24.09km point.
