You mention the - excellent - race website, but you take the old incorrect startlist from ****ty pcs instead of linking to the correct official one? I don't get it.

Anyway, Fredrik Ludvigsson should be the favorite No. 1 for today.

Clearly I like PCS. I think there are lots of things you don't get.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Sorry, didn't want to get personal. I just don't think that pcs is an honest website. They steal their content together from other websites, are often inaccurate and spam loads of useless statistics, follower news and birthday lists into my twitter feed.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Fastest time so far for track and ITT specialist Stefan Küng.

There is alive cam from the finish.

No problem. Don't use twitter, but I can find what I'm looking for on PCS, fast and easy. Some of the stats are good too.
