- Thread starter oganloc
- Start date
HEck the way this Tour is going, we might need to revise after The CHamps. I am going withpatch70 said:
1. Sastre
2. Evans
3. Pereiro
4. Landis
5. Kloden
sastre, kloden and evans all need to pull back approx 1.5 mins tonight. if not, theyre gone.
assuming time trial form stays same, which it usually does.
ive analysed first week time trial, and last years time trial, and these boys all need approx this time pulled back tnite to challenge him. kloden and evans can get 1-1.5mins on him in ttrial, and sastre 0.5 minute in the ttrial.
sastre and kloden did get these 1.5min gaps they need over pereiro, on d'huez a few days ago, evans couldnt.
based on all this, i think pereiro is going to hang on for the win. there will be mere seconds in it between him, kloden and sastre, evans may lose out by 0.5-1 minute unfortunately.

Kloden
Sastre
Pereiro.
Kinda wierd that, considering that I thought that the top 3 at the end of the tour would have looked like this (before operation Puerto, before crashes)
Ullrich
Basso
Valverde.
So, I reckon the same teams are going to get the same placings but with their second riders. Essentialy the same result, just much smaller time gaps. Makes you think as to just how strongly Ullrich/Basso would have won this tour.
