Not much happenin' on the ticker, is there?
edit: ah wait, they've updated it. Flakemore a lot faster than Sutterlin.

theyoungest said:Normann-Hansen 7 seconds behind Van Baarle at the intermediate. He's 12 secs ahead on GC though.
Herklotz already a minute behind.
Maaaaaaaarten said:Van Baarle!
Nice, pretty good talent. Hope he finds his place at Garmin.
theyoungest said:According to the ticker, Hansen takes the lead. Oh well, we'll see tonight I guess.
Flakemore also did reasonably well on the queen stage at Olympia's Tour. He got a top-10 overall, outperforming his team leader Howson.Bye Bye Bicycle said:Looking at the times surely van Baarle should take the lead. That's a bit strange.
The favorites for the World's TT are placed 2 to 5 today. Flakemore hasn't really raced so far here, dropped out early on the stages and focussed totally on the ITT while the others raced hard until the end. Same at Olympia's Tour, IIRC. At the World's all other contenders will be fresh as well. I don't see a medal for Flakemore then.

1. 36 Nielsen, Magnus Cort * DEN
2. 32 Andersen, Michael Valgren DEN
3. 41 Ludvigsson, Frederik * SWE
4. 72 Konrad, Patrick ETI
(could be one more, not sure).
Peloton with about 30 riders chasing.
Valgren Andersen @ +1:21 in GC will likely keep things interesting for the rest of the stage.
