You might go back a couple pages to page 3 just to get a better feel for him drooling all over everything about this race though

TBH the only other person who goes on about the quality of the Tarmac in America is my Grandma who cant stop commenting on, how the tarmac and roads are so much better than the ones in London.

Tjallingii with the fastest split time, I believe he was top 10 here last year

I think it goes live in 1 min everywhere, not just Colorado

800km TTT would have been much more better i guess

Oh man Grabsch is so awesome to watch.

 

[TomasC]

Grabsch ripping the tarmac with his gigantic gear.

 

[benpounder]

the tracker is as alive as Californian Tarmac..

As a defender of the nascent US tours, I have to admit that outside of the first three years of the ToC, our web coverage is lamentable. If a race is going to be televised, there will be cameras filming. It peeves me that the organizations can not get over their silly, and illusive, proprietary rights (the videos, if worthy will inevitably be seen). Just throw open a live on-line feed from when your cameras are filming. ToC seems to have forgotten why many of us became fans to began with...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lol. That Trek-boy looks like a little girl

 

[Froome19]

Grabsch impressive 38:10, 11 seconds ahead of Zwinaski.

He wont hold it for long though.

 

[Don Johnson]

Dobronski, Busche, just out,go,go.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Finally, I have live info and a pair of pees.
Unfortunately, a thickset tutonic tarmac layer seems to be leading.........

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tjallingii destroys Grabsch time by 1'18. LOL

 

[classicomano]

What a beast! Rabobus to dominate!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

RaboFast boy

RaboFast boy

no live feeds? anybody? help!!!

 

[Froome19]

Wow!
Grabsch is rubbish.
Zirbel is on course, he may be the only interesting rider in a while

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Live feed.....

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wow!
Grabsch is rubbish.
Zirbel is on course, he may be the only interesting rider in a while

Zirbel more rubbish than Grabsch
Don't forget Tjallingii was 5th last year in California ITT. His time might stay there for a while. Or Voigt must go faster

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I thought zirbel had a flat tire.

 

[cineteq]

Nibali looking very aero FTW!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Tjallingii destroys Grabsch time by 1'18. LOL

Is he bunking with Zirbel?
Tracker fade again.
