Are my eyes seeing correctly, but is Bertogliati of Androni Giocattoli really the Swiss TT champion?

Eurosports guy said Austrian not Swiss I think or was that another guy???

Yes... The Canc didn't participate last year. Guess he wanted to gift the jersey to someone else, since he crushed the Swiss RR a couple days later

at 2005 tour ttt, lelangue shed a lot of riders early to finish with 5 or 6.

Who was he managing at the time>

Cadel, slow down, you're dropping them!

Good ride by BMC, at least compared to the other teams so far.

 

[auscyclefan94]

great work bmc!!!!!

 

[sportzchick]

37.58 for BMC - nice work
still a time that can be beaten well so damage control is the key

Cadel kept looking around making sure everyone was together for the final push. They looked very tidy compared to other teams out there.

Good time by BMC. Kept the speed contant over the entire race (slightly more than 52 km/h). Obviously we don't know exactly how good it is, but I imagine it'll hold up well.

 

[therhodeo]

I hope thats good enough to keep Cadel close.

 

[auscyclefan94]

great boys, did you see evans driving on the front?! what a great rider!

 

[The Sheep]

Nice ride by BMC shouldn't lose much time.

 

[sportzchick]

I saw it - that rainbow jersey has made him a changed rider!

 

[Swiss Tony]

Evans and the seven dwarves take the provisional lead

BMC could benefit from the weather. It looks like it's getting worse.

 

[Moondance]

Hmmm... The Androni guy just put his hand on another guy's ***.... I thought pushing in a TTT is a no-no.

 

[auscyclefan94]

androni looked a bit all over the place!

 

[Roland Rat]

And now the big boys start to run. First up, Sky.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Sky just about to go prior to commercial

it is an excellent time/speed considering the finish is 200 meters higher than the start. i can't see it improved by more than 30-40 seconds. very impressive bmc !
