Vetplant Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 4 seconds per km is the estimated advantage Tummy D has over Yates twin over a relatively flat time-trial courseAre they just saying it because that is exactly what Tummy D needs to wipe out the advantage. 2min11s Currently4s x 34.2km = 2min16s Either way, everybody agrees that it is going to be very much all square after today between Simon and Tom. Unless something dramatic happens in either direction. The real questions are going to be asked and answered in the mountain stages to come: Who's gonna pop..?!

The estimation is based on the opening time trial, I reckon.Can't remember where I read or heard the stat'.

Vetplant Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 52 riders have finished, Tony Pantzerwagen sitting on the top currently. Surely the 40min mark will be broken soon...?

CASSIE1975 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Martin is not to be denied, storming home in 40:14 to lead by 13 seconds – the German hasn’t won a time trial since last June, and he’s never won a stage at the Giro, but he rolled back the years there.

This will keep the GIRO even more interesting than it already is 4s per kilo sounds a lot, I guess Yates will give all he has...but then again Tom will too....time will tell.
Vetplant Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Yates will come into the finish somewhere around 17h10 SAST today, make sure you get to your tellies in time.
Vetplant Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 100 riders across the line, Tony still sitting pretty.
Cav' Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 100 riders across the line, Tony still sitting pretty.Not for long..
Vetplant Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Not for long..Tony had the benefit of riding the past couple of days at a more sedate pace than the GC rivals. I wouldn't be too surprised if he takes it, but Tom is sure to give it a good go for the Maglia Rosa and Tony might be a casualty because of it.
