2011 Tour of Utah 2.1 August 9-14

[jobiwan]

Didn't he just get to Australia a few days ago? (could be wrong)

Well, he's coming over for Colorado, and I guess he decided to get here early.

I imagine he's been suffering from major jetlag, though.

Well, you believe that if it makes you feel better. TJ is a decent TTer who tries hard at climbing, but has never shown anything that great. I was excited about him last year after the Dauphine, but I've seen him dropped far too often, far too easily since then to believe he's got GC stardom in him.

Time will tell, but I think he's going to win a lot of races in his career. I don't know about his GT potential, but he should be quite good at week long stage races.

"trust me"

The commentator always says that...

Cadel beeing in the US so early is good for Colorado, because he will prepare for this race.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Gobernacion playing this very well. All the weight is on Jani's shoulders. Danielson can sit in, though RS will ask for help.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Acevedo waiting.

Then I think we should trust him

The race is amazing, the final climb will be killer, and I hope Henao will win this.
Also I want to see Gobernacion in the Giro too!

I imagine Danielson will be helping Jani out. The American teams need to help each other out.

 

[jsem94]

I so want Henao in the Giro.

Nay, in Europe next year. Gobernacion in Giro wouldn't be a terrible thing, would spice things up for sure.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The next climb is completely exposed. No shade whatsoever on the Suncrest climb. A good spot to attack will be on the early slopes which hit 8%.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Acevedo waiting.

3 against 1= which wheel do I try and suck?

 

[jobiwan]

I imagine Danielson will be helping Jani out. The American teams need to help each other out.

No they don't. Letting Jani wear himself out only helps Tommy D and Gobernacion.

Write to Dave Brailsford.

Shadowing Uran then riding the Vuelta would seem the most natural option for him next year, but we will see.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Jani deserves to win this race so much more than Levi. I wish he could ride this race as leader.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Should hit the mouth of the canyon soon. The next climb is only a few k away.

 

[LaFleur]

Henao will be introduced leadout duties next season then .

 

[jobiwan]

The 2nd group caught up to the Levi group. That makes 4 Goober boys in that group, I reckon. Plus Acevedo in front.

 

[BillytheKid]

Jani deserves to win this race so much more than Levi. I wish he could ride this race as leader.

He's probably thinking the same thing right now. Too bad this is not on TV.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Group reforming, but largely irrelevant - if you weren't good enough on the first climb of the day you won't last long on the final one.

 

[jsem94]

Jani deserves to win this race so much more than Levi. I wish he could ride this race as leader.

This so much. Janez is going to pwn in the Vuelta though. I just hope he can survive the 3rd week.

I honestly thought he was going to ride a good Tour, not podium but definitely top ten. It's a shame he crashed, he's one of my favorite riders and genuinely a really good guy.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Mancebo has absolutely cracked.

 

[Fetisoff]

Maybe Leechheimer will get dropped on penultimate climb, then Jani will be able to work for himself on the last climb

Anyone else stuck on small screen with that stupid Cadel message over fullscreen?
