Vetplant Posted September 19, 2020 Share First rider off the ramp at 13h00, Roglic at 17h14. They estimate around 55mins finish time.

Jewbacca Posted September 19, 2020 Share Wasn't there an ITT at the TDF years back (I recall El Pistero) where the guys did a bike change? I remember Contador being overtaken by the team car, the guy ripping it off the roof, him postmanning 1 footed up to the climbing bike and them Froomedawging 2 steps, postmanning the other way before swinging a leg, clip clip and off he went. It was seconds to change the bike which they recon saved minutes on the climb. IMHO almost all the top guys will bike change Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted September 19, 2020 Share Very interesting (from https://www.procyclingstats.com/), certainly look like a J-V 123 is a distinct possibility. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO almost all the top guys will bike changeI can’t remember the rules from the Team Manager’s course, but I seem to remember that the team car, in an ITT, is not allowed to ride next to the rider. This means the car can’t pass the rider in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mntboy Posted September 19, 2020 Share hmm..... That changes the game somewhat. But I still think okes with change bikes.Agreed. I also think that almost all the main contenders on GC will be changing from TT bikes to their climbing bikes. I think there might be a few that may choose to run aerobars/TT bars on their climbing bikes but I think that'll only be a handful of riders choosing to do that.

Cois Posted September 19, 2020 Share Now I am not ure that it is broadcasted on the limited channels at the hospital. The last channel I viewed last night just has a bunch of blokes hugging, kissing each other and getting coffee mugs (as a parting gift for the orgy they just had).... oh wait it looks like a rugby thing.Hope that I can watch todays stage. I always miss the TT’s Okay, seems like I have something to watch. Just a man and woman chatting about the stage Edited September 19, 2020 by Cois ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted September 19, 2020 Share By my rough calculations, Caleb will miss Paris if the winner finishes in 52in30s or faster... Edit:just double checked my calcs and corrected it. Edited September 19, 2020 by Vetplant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted September 19, 2020 Share According to the commentary team Sam Bennett will be eliminated if the winner clocks 52min40sThe expected winning time is around 55min.. can't see them being out with 3min on a ITT..so they should be fine then Edited September 19, 2020 by Gen Vetplant and Mntboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
