What makes you think that?

It is currently very windy with rain and I think that Levi could possibly beat him with the gaps and times cancellara set.

 

[Havetts]

I dont expect Levi to take alot of risks with the TdF coming up.

Levi will do fine. It's possible, but highly unlikely.

Bobridge is good but he hasn't really shown a lot in TTs as a pro yet, so Cancellara should be more than a minute ahead of him after 20k.

Bobridge is 1:59 faster than Bruseghin at the finish, so Bobridge's time can't be that bad. However, Cancellara's next big goal is probably the Tour de France ITT so he won't be at his best today.

Meh....Like I pointed out earlier, Bobridge averaged over 45kms per hour when he rode... Pretty damn fast if you ask me, considering the conditions which are hardly optimal. If The Canc were to take a 1'30 off that, say, that would push his av. up to nearly 46,5 maybe even 47 km/h. I don't see how anyone in the field, not Levi, or Tejay, can top that.

EDIT: Can takes almost exactly 1'30 off Bobridge. 41'01. Average of just under 47km/h.

the radar is wrong because somebody in Schaffhausen has said there is strong winds and some light rain.

Wasn't Bruseghin, er, 'parked' for a while?

It should be his first race since Romandie if I'm not mistaken.

That time by Canc is very very strong. It's unbeatable.

If it's raining then it won't stop raining. The conditions will stay like this or worsen during the afternoon.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Lol, Bobridge... if he beats Tejay I'll eat my laptop.

Hmmm, prepare to eat laptop.

I guess he proved you wrong.

OK...Weather expert. The forecast calls for intermittent rain, some wind, but the weather trend has been less rain as the day goes on, but who really knows?

A side note, Schaffhausen is home to IWC, in my opinion, the finest watches made in the world.

The ticker is covering all the swiss riders a fair bit!

Hurry up feeds!

Ah...opinions.

Well I guess we are in Switzerland and they make many ftop quality brands of watches.

 

[roundabout]

Oliveira second at the finish at 25 seconds.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Cancellara won't win this

 

[auscyclefan94]

Sagan 16 seconds behind Cancelaara at finish. I still wouldn't be surprised if Fabian is beaten.

I think the worlds best watches are made by Casio.
