2011 Giro d'Italia, May 7th, Stage 1: Venaria Reale → Torino, 19.3km TTT

[Mellow Velo]

The Dream Clean Team crush everybody!

 

[The Hitch]

HTC 14 under. How close to this will Garmin be?

 

[superconfex]

Cavo in pink??

 

[Ferminal]

Maybe they just went out as fast as possible to get their name mentioned

(BMC that is, not THC)

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Htc blasting it

 

[Moondance]

HTC 16 seconds faster than Omega

Byebye Renaat Schotte

I nearly chocked when he said Bakelants would win the Giro, especially since it was only partially tongue in cheek.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

God I hope that team goes away soon.

 

[Moondance]

God I hope that team goes away soon.

Saxo? HTC?

Of which team do you speak?

 

[Boardslide]

Cavo in pink??

Team has said pink for Pinnotti

 

[The Hitch]

Contador will be very happy with that.

 

[Publicus]

Wow. A whole lot of fail for Saxo Bank.

EDIT: I take that back. He's got 20+ seconds on Menchov, 30+ seconds on JRod. We'll see where Lampre and Liquigas end up, but it's not a total fail.

[Ferminal]

Contador loses time to the new favourite Bakelants.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Saxo are 3rd at 3 seconds

 

[Spare Tyre]

That ride by OPL is holding up pretty well.

 

[Moondance]

#GarminFail Imminent

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Saxo? HTC?

Of which team do you speak?

Surely you don't need to ask. There's only one team for which I reserve my purest loathing.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Why is every team failing? I am totally confused!

 

[cineteq]

Alberto the virtual GC leader.

 

[luckyboy]

Wow. A whole lot of fail for Saxo Bank.

.........
what?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Team has said pink for Pinnotti

I hope so. Cav will probably get it after stage 1 anyway.

 

[spalco]

Cavo in pink??

Would be ****ty to give it to Cav imo. He's winning so much why not give it to someone else on the team?

 

[Moondance]

Surely you don't need to ask. There's only one team for which I reserve my purest loathing.

I know... But you could've started expanding your hatin' horizons.

 

[Ferminal]

A few Garmins struggling? Meyer had to jump in front of 3 there.
