2011 Tour of Utah 2.1 August 9-14

[Moose McKnuckles]

Field in a straight line.
If they had taken a left, they'd be headed up a different climb called Wolf Creek Pass. Nice area. Stallone has a home there.

Yeah. I'm not super excited about riding up to Snowbird to watch the race in this heat.

Dam*, I thought it might be thunderstormy looking or have some cloudcover today.

It's mostly cloudy and pleasant here in Boulder today.
I'll bet there are some blasted tired riders...good luck.

GO Gobernacion!!!

NZ wine? Your mate must be the US's answer to Duffers!

77 degrees is nice.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Acevedo and Van Uden tied on points for the sprint jersey.

We;re expecting some storms this afternoon. Right now, it's a perfectly clear sky.

61mph on the descent. Whoa.

Tracker FAIL. Long names make the times shortened.. I would say Henao isnt 2 seconds behind Levi. Wish he was.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Sevilla coming back to the bunch.
They will see a little rise up here, then a descent into Heber. Left turn and they'll be headed to the first climb.

 

[Lupetto]

Wow, beautiful scenery.

The announcer today is one of my friends, actually.

He is my teammate. Do I know you? Other than being a racer here, Bruce is also a popular announcer, notably during cyclocross season. I just met up with him riding up to Snowbird last weekend.

Bruce is a great guy! I've known him for about 7 years. He and Gardie do such a good job at the cross races too.

Nah, webdesigner fail for setting the screen width over 1000 pixels. basic web design. Average monitor is still 1024 wide.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Peloton wakes up just in time to prevent big group from going off the front.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Still tons of snow on the mountains here.

It's not Jordanelle, Bruce. It's Deer Creek.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Horrible wheel change for BMC.

 

[jobiwan]

It's not Jordanelle, Bruce. It's Deer Creek.

He heard you it seems!!

 

[Lupetto]

Over 50 miles of hard racing and still no breakaway.

Over 50 miles of hard racing and still no breakaway.

Peloton is unwilling to let anything go yet. I think everyone's nervous about the Sundance climb up the Alpine Loop.

 

[jobiwan]

By the end of the day, I think this thread will have way more posts than Eneco!!!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

About to enter Provo Canyon. Peloton in one long line. Pace is super high.

 

[jobiwan]

Split in the field.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Break forming! 18 riders off the front.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Gobernacion again in the break. RealCyclist trying to pull it back.

Break is neutralized again.

 

[jobiwan]

Back together now, but this whole race has been crazy!!

 

[jobiwan]

The Goober boys had 3 in that little group, Sevilla one of them.

They might blow the race apart on the Alpine Loop.
