Sepp Kuss using a 56/43 chainset and 10-33 cassette.
WvA going very well! He's stayed on his TT bike throughout.
Pogacar is off!
58/44 with an 11-34 cassette.
Yates second fastest at the first time check, only 1 second off the fastest. He's REALLY improved
Pog looks fabulously smooth uphill on the aerobars. Ving is riding it like a climber. Some monster large rear cogs on those TT bikes!
How is it possible that those 2 are seemingly so far above the others?
Pogacar FLYING, 24 seconds faster at first timecheck
Pogacar FLYING, 24 seconds faster at first timecheck
And yet 16" slower than Vingegaard...!
When vingegard went past a timing screen it came up with 26 second lead.
Just heard on the commentary that it is 24 seconds
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🤔🤔
Ving is flying!!!
31 seconds!
Crikey, has he gone out to hard, will Poj light the afterburners up the hill, I'm on the edge of my seat!
Jonas 30s up with 10km to go? Jesus. He was absolutely smashing it on the downhill though, just sitting at 70km/h. I can barely manage that down a 10% gradient!
I can’t comprehend going round those corners at 70kph on the extensions..
come on pog, get your finger out!!
bike change
Bike change for Pogacar on the climb. Cunningly marked by a Slovenian flag.
You shouldn't get a running shove up the road for a voluntary bike change on a TT...
45 seconds is a hell of a lot to make up on this climb
Wow 51 seconds to ving on screen
Bit of a sluggish bike change. At least he didn't do a casual Geriant Thomas style helmet change too.
At this rate, it'll be what....best part of 90 seconds gain to Ving?! Crazy in a 22km TT
If the time swing is that big then pog is going to have to go nuts tomorrow if he can
Shame they aren't going at 1 min intervals, he'd be making the catch.
1'05" up on Pogacar!
Pogacar looks resigned to his fate at this stage.
He'll be close to catching him on the line on current pace now!!
Might make the catch at 2 mins yet
Surely that's the tour wrapped up now unless there are heroics tomorrow.
Well looks like my interpretation of the data behind the misleading statistics was right - Vinnegaard is head and shoulders today.
what a ride from vinnegaard though.
Pog has looked tired most of this tour tbh - or perhaps im confusing tiredness for weary of the Dane hunting him down.
suspect Pog will smash it tomorrow in a no guts no glory climb if not to win but to recover face over today.
oh me - possibly within viewing distance of pog . didnt imagine that would be how far.......
Bloody hell pog might catch his 2 minute man, and ving might catch both
Not quite then
I think it's all over
That was VERY impressive.
1Min 38 Holy crap
1 minute 38! 🤔
Nearly 3 mins faster than WvA....
Just.... Wow.
Any guess for average Watts?
@masterdabber it is now......
(sorry i just had to)
Also, didnt see 1'38 coming, thought Jonas was stronger but only by a little but he's just destroyed Pojacar
Jonas doesn't even look that knackered! Amazing ride.
So..
In 22 km he’s put in nearly two min to pog, who himself is miles up on the rest of the field…
..🤔
2,51 over van aert!
Ooh, Adam Yates is up to 3rd overall! Great work! 🙂
US Postal all again 😉 it's to good to be true he didn't even look tired
Last mountain TT for a while, I think.
Crazy stuff!!!
I don't think Pete K is coping well with the heat, he looks shiny
The Clinic has gone into meltdown! The watts/kg will be ridiculous (about 7.5), but when you are only 59 kg and need 450 Watts, it doesn't sound quite so mad.
