Wait for 5 min. It takes youtube time to process video. And take it down if it has illegal content.  |

You*
What's wrong? I'm just stating he was better last year, so I don't know why he's so bad this year. |

I'm not going to discuss the other three results, but how is 14th place in the TTT for Belkin proof of Mollema's time trial abilities? Even Schleck did better . |

Will be interesting to see if Guercilena can get Mollema back into form. Afraid his only GT chance was the Giro in 2012 where he didn't even participate thanks to the excellent management at Rabo/Belkin.
Edit; Reckon this years Eneco will be between Dumoulin and Stybar. Both are riding around extremely strong.

Mollema was a decent enough ITT-er on his Giant bike.
But it's the same as before with Gesink, people only remember the bad results. So now think Mollema is a horrible itt-er because he sucks on the Bianchi bike.
Forgetting he was 11th in both TDF itt's last year, 2nd in pais vasco, and other good results. Oh well. Who really cares.
What's more important, Dumoulin finally won after all 2nd places behind Martin.
And what does Cyclingnews open with?
"Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Shimano) took a surprise victory on the second stage of the Eneco Tour. "
Yeah, great surprise Cyclingnews Who have they got working there? Dumoulin beat Cancellara and others in almost every ITT this year. |

Lol yeah, maybe they refer to the energy wasted yesterday to get back in the peloton. Cancellara was surprisingly strong aswell today, but I am happy for Tom, finally no 2nd place!! |

Damn it! Forever 2nd!
But he's better than Boom, so he will overtake him I think. |

ruben: Im just wondering what the fuck have happened to Mollema and time trials. I dont give much for the bike change or whatever it is. Its possible that it have had an impact (I have no clue, but you guys seems to be sure about that), but I wont and you shouldnt credit his whole decrease to that.
His 2014 year tt-wise has been horrendous, nothing less. He was decent in Suisse on a hilly course and thats pretty much it - T-A, Pais Vasco, Tour de France and now Eneco he has been horrific. And we are not forgetting that, but as a cyclist you get judged by your recent results, not from the past as it says quite a lot more about his present strength on TT which is really bad. |

When you get a new TT bike, you have to adapt to the position of that certain bike. Since the Bianchi bike is new to him (not sure how much he has used it since the Tour de France TT) he might not be really acostumed to the perfect bike position that suits him the most. |

No, Mollema just copied the Giant ITT bike 1/1 on his Bianchi ITT bike
HOWEVER, Mollema has no Bianchi ITT bike at home, because it was impossible for Bianchi somehow. So unlike at Giant, Mollema had no way to train on his ITT bike this year... and it's a different bike as well.
It's one of the reasons he left Belkin for Trek. |
