2014 US Pro Challenge, Aug 18th-Aug 24th (2.HC)

[Dazed and Confused]

Yeah, TV coverage has been pretty bad. but I do enjoy the idea of having a stream directlty on tour tracker.

snipped...

I'm a big fan of the tracker concept. Wish all WT level races deployed some base version of this tool.

BMC and Van Gardener were very strong, but Hermans paid for the effort.

The weather robbed us for great footage, but here are some fantastic pictures instead:

I do wonder why it hasn't happened yet. Does anybody know why?

Also why can we have different live camera feeds like in golf?

Congrats to Didier, that guy never wins, like, ever. Wonder what will happen today, will I see a flying pig outside???

It would require a concerted effort, something entirely impossible in our fragmented sport.

The I(M)TT tonight (Euro time):

Ending at 3000m, it will hurt the lungs.

Only if he gets in the break.

 

[Taxus4a]

mistake......

 

[screaming fist]

Rogers, wow!

 

[LosBrolin]

Mick Rogers nice job

 

[damian13ster]

Great job by Tinkoff so far. Hopefully Majka can keep the trend up

 

[Rollthedice]

Go Tvetcov!

 

[Jspear]

Ben Hermans 2 seconds faster than Rogers at the time check.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I'd love to see a super performance from Tvetcov today.

I knew the rain would be a factor today. We had big storms yesterday and last night here. Wetter than usual monsoon season this year here.

 

[roundabout]

Tommy D

 

[trevim]

Good job from Pires and Poljanski. I knew Pires was solid but this is really good. Also Schleck to top10 a TT?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

on the flattish part....

 

[Jspear]

Tommy D best time at the time check....around 30 seconds faster than Hermans.
