Back to something someone said earlier about that the Nazgul should get to Minas Tirith much faster than Gandalf. This is true but when Pippin looked in the palantir and they set off Sauron would still assume that they were in Edoras so the Nazgul would be sent there rather than to Minas Tirith. Sauron would then not know where Pippin was so it would fit that Pippin and Gandalf would reach it first.
