National Championships 2013

[Gloin22]

In upcoming month or so many of the championships take place.

Today was the first big one, although it suffered a quite poor startlist ( no big American names were present ).

USA ITT:

1. Tom Zirbel
2. Brent Bookwalter
3. Nathan Brown

Could be a case of jersey design uncertainty.

Imagine 12 months in some mixture of Footon and stars and stripes.

I'm surprised Tejay didn't race. He would have crushed this course.

The women's race is on now, and I assume the men's race will have the same coverage.

Refreshing change in the commentary box.

Abbot mechanical - bad luck

That is the worst wheel change I've ever seen. The mechanic dropped the bike and broke the rear hanger!

 

[whittashau]

When is the men's race?

When is the men's race?

Ladies before gentlemen

Men's RR 1:20 PM EasternTime

i.e in about two hours time

That really sucks for Abbot. I wonder if she would have held on for the victory without that mechanical?

I would have been refreshing to see a climbing specialist (and one of the best in the world) in the jersey.

 

[jaylew]

Nice. They're using the ToC tracker. Now, if we could only get that tracker at some of the Euro races...

1st time up the climb. 5 man break and then a 4 man break with 3 Hincapie riders.

 

[goggalor]

90 km to go. 35 km/h average so far.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Third time up Lookout Mountain, one final climb to come, four man break split in two, Tyler Wren and Christopher Jones lead with Thomas Zirbel and James Stemper chasing on the descent to get back on, Peloton +1:15.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Busche has a really good chance to win this.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Nevermind, too many riders are catching back on. I thought that eleven man group was going to stay away.

 

[jaylew]

Should be a ton of attacks in the last 25k. Freddy the fastest guy in the group?

Yeah, it appears so. Farrar never made it back.

 

[jaylew]

Although at 40, I'm not sure how much speed he still has.

 

[Moviefan1203]

The chasers better not let Gaimon get much more time.

 

[jaylew]

Up to 25 secs. Chasers don't have enough people working. And the WT guys left are waiting to do a solo or a counter, I think.

Gaimon has it at this point. No organization in the chase.

 

[jaylew]

31 secs, 18 chasers, 10k left.

 

[jaylew]

Busche, Bookwalter, Garmin guys have to do something soon or it's over.

 

[Moviefan1203]

There goes Busche! Go, Matty, go!
