The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah 2014, 4-10 of August (2.1)

[gooner]

Looking forward to tonight.

That Powder Mountain is a right leg breaker(6 miles, average 11%). Even the one before it, is nothing to dismiss either(5km, average 10%).

I'm gonna stay up for this one here.

What's Danielson's shape like? Him and Horner should be the favourites for a climb like this.

 

[Dr. Juice]

I didn't know that Utah features "little Zoncolan". And keeping in mind the altitude - could be a great show.

Who are the main contenders apart from Horner and Kelderman? Did not check the start list.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah, with this steepness it's a freaking mini Zoncolan, but at altitude.
Not so much Kelderman terrain after all.

 

[l.Harm]

Ivan ftw

Danielson wants to win the overall.
Edit: Cadel is here as well. He wants to do well.

 

[Dr. Juice]

Ivan ftw

With his legendary look :

 

[webvan]

Has Horner commented on how he was feeling? He didn't look like he had bronchitis on the way up to Hautacam...

he has stated that this is just training, but if he felt that he was going well he would consider going for a stage.

 

[aarononymous]

Daniel Jaramillo!

 

[Pentacycle]

Lachlan Morton would be the favourite on a finish like this, but unfortunately he has shown no sign of good form.

Tracker: http://tourtracker.tourofutah.com/

50km in, break just about to be established.

Could be a great stage, i.e. a lot more action than a 1-2 km sprint for the line.

Lets see.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

They're reporting Basso in the break

They're reporting Basso in the break

1h+ break action today and with Basso going berserk we are not done yet.

 

[Dr. Juice]

Can someone post a link with good live coverage (not TV...written updates) ?

 

[Dr. Juice]

Peleton 52 minutes back? WTF can't be real

EDIT: 1.10

 

[mojomonkey]

Works perfectly for me.

Not sure there is much more than the text updates available at the official tracker. You could turn off the video portion in settings if you don't want the stream.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Basso and Eijssen both in the break.

Belkin, Garmin, and Lampre aren't going to let this go anywhere.

Pretty much perfect bike riding weather today. Sunny, maybe 80 degrees, 75 on the climbs.

 

[jens_attacks]

at what hour do you predict they will hit the foot of the beast?

 

[theyoungest]

Basso has sunk pretty low, if commentators consider Yannick Eijssen a bigger threat than him.

 

[Netserk]

at what hour do you predict they will hit the foot of the beast?

I'd guess in an hour and a half. Roughly.

 

[Arredondo]

Basso has sunk pretty low, if commentators consider Yannick Eijssen a bigger threat than him.

It's a pity it's actually pretty spot on

 

[jens_attacks]

basso and turbo diesel. 8 years ago, this would have been a royal battle
today in a few minutes, they will get dropped by luca freakin dodi
