TheoG Posted July 22, 2022 Share Even the guy we shouldn't mention and George Hincapie says Wout is a beast! They even said that should he focus on GC he might surprise a lot of people. Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an idea. Let's all get together and have a protest at a race of the ONE human activity that isn't absolutely FUNKING the planet. Â Idiots.

Frosty Posted July 22, 2022 Share Louis needs >8 seconds over Nairo-man and >2:38 over Gaudu to move up 1-2 places in tomorrow’s ITT (40Km) Last year’s two ITTs are a bit misleading as are the results where they have raced in the same races. In the first ITT (27km) when everyone was fresh Gaudu and NQ were both faster than LM. In the second ITT (30km) LM was 25s faster than Gaudu, but NQ probably just rode it to finish, as he was 2:33 behind LM. I’m going to put my Monopoly money on Gaudu, LM and NM on the GC after tomorrow’s ITT. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM also has to defend 27 seconds to Vlasov. There was 4 seconds between Vlasov and LM in Copenhagen and NQ was 14 seconds slower than LM. I don't think 4th/Gaudu will come into play, but the 35 seconds between NQ and Vlasov 5th/6th/7th is definitely in play.  DieselnDust, Rowl, TheoG and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Vlaanderen Posted July 22, 2022 Share On paper, Vlasov should be able to overtake LM and NQ tomorrow and LM overtake NQ, but who knows after three weeks. Louis has looked stronger in the latter part of the Tour, so really hoping he can do something special  tomorrow and get that 5th. Koos Likkewaan, Rowl, DJuice and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoG Posted July 23, 2022 Share No matter what position he end up with (5,6,7,8) it will still be one hell of an achievement. Well done Louis !!!! Frosty, babse, The Ouzo and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 23, 2022 Share So what are our predictions for the ITT? Wout has to be the clear favourite. But who will run him close? Pog will be all-in, so worth a shout. Ganna, although not on top form, should be close. Gee has a solid TT in him, so a strong outside shout. Laporte was ahead of Lampaerd in the Stage 1 TT, before he fell. Dark horse for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
