is it me or do germans have a problem going downhill

I guess it's you and the Ullrich memory. ;)

Btw.
MArtin only loosing 5 seconds going downhill must mean that he went extremly strong on the non technical parts considering how ****ing bad the guy decends.

Surprised, he caught his minute man, I thought he was going better than that.

Millar just does not have it anymore. He should do a training camp with Massimo Lelli again.

Wiggins is the top time trialist on Garmin these days.

Dang. I was thinking that Grabsch would place about fifth or sixth. I suck at prediction.

Millar was almost the first casualty of the tour.....perhaps the skids marks on the road weren't the only ones left after that little incident.

Interesting that a french international channel, TV5Monde chose to broadcast a LA interview live instead of the race like the Arabic channel did.

They must love to hate him especially after he refused to answer in French.

Millar not that much slower than Armstrong. That isn't too good for the King.

Well, you should star listening what the riders say themselfs. ;)

Grabsch said before very early on that he couldn't achieve any kind of good result in this TT.
Way to short plus to much of a hill, not a lot of long parts as well.
I guess he didn't even try.
He has work to do tomorrow.

They are on an F1 circuit for part of the course. By the time the later riders go there will be enough rubber laid down to improve the grip. :)

LMAO - hadn't thought of that one....perhaps thats why LA's time has been passed all ready, the circuit is rubbering up.

My geek comment of the day: I race it on Gran Truismo all the time. Its fun to watch them on those parts.

Millar at least has a split screen interview and he answers in french.
