much obliged my good man

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Voigt great intermediate best by 1s?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Voigt a second up at the intermediate. Could be tight for the lead.

Now here goes Zabriskie.

 

[Froome19]

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

I thought zirbel had a flat tire.

There is you answer and anyway since when has Zirbel been a WC TT?

Tracker fade again.

Give him some time

 

[Mellow Velo]

Some very very old dude has the fastest split.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

1st Captain America
and now Ironman Leipeheimer!

 

[El Oso]

Damn that course is ugly! Way to show the best of California

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leipheimer has grown a lump on his back

 

[The Sheep]

whats that on levi's back?

 

[ooh_25mm]

As a California, I am baffled at the choice of venue here. Bakersfield isnt exactly the most beautiful spot in CA.

 

[Havetts]

Camelback with Levi..

[ooh_25mm]

it looks like he forgot to take out his ice sock...or he has satellite TV on board.

[Mellow Velo]

Squat bald geriatric on course........

 

[therhodeo]

Looked like a bag of ice when they got close. Too lumpy for a camelback.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Zabriskie is on his minute man already.

 

[Havetts]

Capt America already caught Eijssen.

Voigt great intermediate best by 1s?

Go Jens!
I'm sure someone somewhere hates him, but I'd have to wonder what's wrong with them.

 

[Frosty]

whats that on levi's back?

Bag with puncture repair kit in, spare tube and tyre levers?

 

[Mellow Velo]

whats that on levi's back?

Lance's stash.
Gawd the Pee's are dishing out the verbal vomit.

What were you expecting from Bakersfield?

 

[El Oso]

Looks like the radio is below the Q8 logo. Probably an ice bag or sock above it. Yesterday it looked like Garmin was giving their riders sponges soaked in ice water to cool down.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Mr 40 years old owns Tjallingii by 30 seconds

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Is there a strongish crosswind out there? Both Zabriskie and Leipheimer seem to be moving around the road a lot.

Voigt into the lead!

 

[burning]

Voigt smokes it so far
