2011 Tour of Utah 2.1 August 9-14

[perico]

Bookwalter finshed 28th and Hincapie 39th

Sevilla and Mancebo are way past there best and I dnever really thought Mancebo as being a good TT rider tho i could be wrong. Bookwalter and Hinacpie are known to be good in short itt's.

Mancebo is a stud. He isn't over the hill yet. He only rides continental, but usually cleans up (no pun intended) wherever he rides. I haven't followed Sevilla as closely, but when I have, he seemed to still be riding well.

Mancebo has been getting great results. I agree he is not past it yet. Sevilla seems to have done well too.

The stage today might yield some surprises on that climb if some of the climbers get together and decide to shatter the group. It's a nasty climb, but still a good way away from the finish line, leaving time for regrouping, though if the peloton shatters in groups, I think we may see a contender or two be left out.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Race has started. Coverage is far better today.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Immediate attacks right after the 1k neutral. Attacks going off constantly.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Peloton keeping things in check.

Lol edit your posts or something

Strongman Peter Velits off with a flat.

Peter Velits is in this race?

I love these trackers for the American races BTW, European organizers can learn something from this. Most races over here hardly have a ticker, let alone live footage. For instance, the Volta a Catalunya, a WT race: impossible to follow.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ah, the calm before the storm. Somebody needs to get up to Thompson and help. Apparently, these guys have been prepared for what's coming.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Finally some help. Four off the front. Rubens Bertogliati up there

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Should be another right turn soon and up the climb they go.

Yeah. This climb hurts. I suffered like a dog last time I did this. Super exposed.

Henao's team in full control.

Captain America on the side. LOL.

More Columbians attacking. What's Gobernacion doing?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Attack from Acevedo from the Columbian Gobernacion team!?!? That's one of their leaders.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

RadioShack trying to cover this.

Covered by a Shack and another rider.

 

[jobiwan]

Actually a pretty good strategy for Gobernacion. Make others do the work, Shack saw that and sent someone up. Garmin in a tough situation now.
