BOO YAH! Go Greg. He has deserved a win. Been very close.

 

[iZnoGouD]

today is time trial right?

live stream, please!!

 

[Sophistic]

a bit late i know: Kessiakoff needed 29:28 for the Horn (record 28:24 T.Rohregger, who mysteriously now needs almost 3 minutes more to climb the Horn).

 

[Gloin22]

Looking at the GC, I loled that

21 Michael Barry (Can) Sky Procycling 0:08:23
22 Daryl Impey (RSA) Team Netapp 0:08:24
23 Tiago Machado (Por) Team RadioShack 0:08:31

 

[auscyclefan94]

Phinney holds the best time at the moment.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Grabsch is gonne crush him!

 

[El Pistolero]

BOO YAH! Go Greg. He has deserved a win. Been very close.

Look at that, he can actually win again.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gretsch has the new best time and Grabsch has the diesel running at full gas. This is a course the big German can really excel at.

 

[Parrulo]

[Ruudz0r]

atm Grabsch got the best time, Sergent 2nd, Gretsch 3, Phinney 4, Christensen 5.

Mechov just got the 13th time at the first intermediate

How the hell did Santambrogio manage to drop from 2nd to 6th? Did he crash or something?

 

[Ruudz0r]

How the hell did Santambrogio manage to drop from 2nd to 6th? Did he crash or something?

Dont think he did, he is pretty bad at time trials.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

How the hell did Santambrogio manage to drop from 2nd to 6th? Did he crash or something?

he's about the worst timetrialer in the world

 

[hrotha]

Oh damn. Not that I thought he was any good, but I certainly wasn't aware he could be that bad. There go my CQ points.

 

[TeoSheva]

6 in the break
Christensen (SBS), Kwiatowski (RSH), Roe (BMC), Pliuschin (KAT), Docker (SKS), Hrinkow (VBG).

one minute is the gap at -40km

 

[dlwssonic]

such a flat and short stage phinney has a chance to top 5.

(Interesting that both Kessiakoff and Larsson likes metal and Judas Priest )

Congrats to Kessiakoff. I liked Konig's ride and Geox sort of underperformed. GVA finally won, CJ did okay in sprints, Grabsch showed he should have gone to the TDF and Stannard should finally earn a point to get on the British team in the WC. Guardini did not contest for even one sprint.

 

[rmacek]

Do you think this result can open door to some ProTeam for Leo König? He is only 23 and to be second on such race, I think it is great success.

In this field he really should of done better...off to greenedge.

 

[greenedge]

Well CJ did come 6th in the stage Stannard won in the bunch sprint, though i suppose a few sat up. He did not have Hendo or Geraint either. If he does move ( which he might not as his dad's on the staff ) he will be the 2nd tier sprinter at the ( smaller races ) whilst Goss and Howard/ ( hopefully matthews ) work for each other.

 

[dlwssonic]

GVA now has gotten 2 victories with the points classification. that counts right?
