Mntboy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 So looks like that injury of Porte is holding him back - way down on time at an early split already. This is Porte's Giro d'Isaster....Yip he does appear to be struggling. Almost two minutes down on Kiriyenka (spelling?).
HappyMartin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Yes he is not doing well. And his position looks very upright. Is that normal for him?
Jaco-fiets Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Can we get over Porte now. It is clear that he is no longer in contention. Like him but I am very happy there will be no Sky jersey on the podium. Hope they get creamed in the Le Tour as well
Mntboy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Yes he is not doing well. And his position looks very upright. Is that normal for him?Without having access to a telly can't say definitely but he's usually one of the more aerodynamic positioned guys. The knee's gotta be bugging him. Edit: There's a climb in the middle which could also have affected how Joey decided to be set up for today's TT.
Mntboy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Apparently a headwind making life difficult for the guys currently. Uran is going slower than Porte. Hoping the headwind doesn't affect Beefy Berto too much.

Hope they get creamed in the Le Tour as well Sorry about that. OK then, who are we allowed to talk about then? Just give us your list of approved riders so that we don't make that mistake again.
HappyMartin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Conditions are definately worsening. Contador seems a little less affected than some. More wind and more rain. Looks like hell out there
HappyMartin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Tomorrow looks like fun as long as you not riding it. Hope the weather improves. Coming off those climbs will be dangerous as hell in the wet
Mntboy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 CN live tracking reports that Berto is a 1:06 ahead of his GC rivals. Only Aru to go through first time check.
HappyMartin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Porte losing the most time it seems followed by Uran then Aru. In respect to Contador I mean
Mntboy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah Aru's lost 48 seconds at the first check. What's the diffs between Uran and Porte now as CN was saying that Uran was going slower than Porte?
HappyMartin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I have no idea. Info very spottyatthe moment. Not getting good splits at all. Porte just finishing. Down in 41. About 4 minutes down

Hope they get creamed in the Le Tour as wellGranted, you can't see his jersey but there's a SKY cap and rain jacket in the hot seat... looking good for podium if not a win...
HappyMartin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Yep. I think Kiriyenka going to take it. No biggie for GC he is 1hour 42 minutes down
Mntboy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I have no idea. Info very spottyatthe moment. Not getting good splits at all. Porte just finishing. Down in 41. About 4 minutes down4:20 according to CN. Last split they gave had Porte 3 seconds off Aru with him being 48 seconds behind Berto. Berto's taking back the Maglia Rosa.
