[Ryo Hazuki]

rodolfo torres pushing it on the climb now. mountain itt's are truly tailor made for colombians

 

[thrawn]

Using helmets for a MTT...that's beyond ***
just like this tennis match

They're just looking out for the Menchov's of the sport.

 

[luckyboy]

Can anyone confirm: is it 30% or 25%, the time limit?

its 30% ......

 

[More Strides than Rides]

I love the faces if these early riders on the starting ramp. They are not looking forward to the next 70-75 minutes

 

[rainman]

C'mon Federer get this sh** over with.

 

[Eclipse]

Ben Swift in second so far hah.

 

[King Boonen]

I doubt any rider will start with handlebars

Awesome quote



Nice ride by Swift, showing some potential there.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Ah someone must have heard me. Marvellous !

 

[RedheadDane]

Using helmets for a MTT...that's beyond ***

I'm pretty sure the rules require helmets all the time...

Whoever did this scheduling on Eurosport needs shooting. Almost ONE HOUR waiting now !!!!

UNACCEPTABLE !!!!

Surely you know that some random tennis match is much more important than a decisive Mountain ITT in the Giro d'Italia...

What the **** is Rai 2 doing now

Duarte setting off now, maybe he can turn in something useful

Finally eurosport gimme pirazzi

If this tennis coverage doesn't finish soon, I'm going to leave this off and watch it in the evening on Sky without knowing who's won.

We've missed a huge chunk of the coverage now.

But nothing really decisive has happened right now though. I enjoy watching Federer quite a lot. (If they show Federer were you are watching)

 

[Bumbibjörnen]

Arredondo almost dead last at first time split, I think he deserves an 'easy' day

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Awesome FDJ riding down the Grappa dragging a suitcase.

 

[Museeuw]

the other good timetrialists like all rider sthere ride in cycling clubs in scandinavia and also in finland and estonia(cyclign is huge there)

C'mon, you know what I meant.

Helminen was a good time trialist, but those other good time trialists. Who are they?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Sergio Henao clearly wants to do well. Starting on a TT bike with disc.

 

[trevim]

Duarte setting off now, maybe he can turn in something useful

Last year he threw up. Now I don't know about turn up something useful

At last!!!

Stupid Watts rubbish, then heaps of football short clips - no tennis for me though!!

 

[Eclipse]

Sergio Henao clearly wants to do well. Starting on a TT bike with disc.

I'm just surprised he's in the race at all

 

[jens_attacks]

Epic bardiani fuel _o_sputniks

 

[Rollthedice]

Sonny Colbrelli first, what's hapenning?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I'm just surprised he's in the race at all

LOL! Sorry, his brother. Sebastian, I think.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

C'mon, you know what I meant.

Helminen was a good time trialist, but those other good time trialists. Who are they?

smuel pokala, jarmo rissanen, tommi maritkainen, they might even be better itt riders than veikkanen but no better riders in general for sure
