will machado ever win anything? :eek:
I didn't even knew he was riding. Nice result. It reminds me when I asked him in his blog if he would feel if his career was incomplete not riding Roubaix; he said there were better riders for the cobbles. I wonder what he feels now riding this. Not that West Vlandeeren has lot of cobbles but still :)
And yeah not winning is his thing; just like Purito with his uphill sprints. Let's hope he can get the time to win GC.

Bad news from our team in Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen: overnight 8 bikes, a bunch of wheels and a tool box got stolen from the truck. We're doing all we can now to get the guys on spare Trek bikes at the start of stage 2!

Damn scumbags. Seems to happen a fair bit. I just hate people who steal anything, so tight, just work like everyone else.

If they are unable to start, this gets silly, Garmin in TdM, now RST.....the races should be decided on the road, not by who was lucky enough not to get the bikes stolen....

I suppose for RST it will be ok, their Lux base is just like a 2,5 hours drive from the race

He only has 1 second to Terpstra.

Not saying it is just because of the bike but the Shiv, based on some wind tunnel numbers, is probably the fastest TT bike out there.

Sorry Cervelo :eek:

You can pretty much throw a hat over the (adapted) Shiv, the Trinity, P4 & P5, Plasma 3 etc. Which means for guys who don't have sponsor commitments (eg. some of the guys on the Tri scene) it becomes very personal as to which bike you will be fastest on. There's not a lot of room left re UCI regs for a new TT bike to make a step change gain anymore.

You would think that after the Garmin theft teams would add security measures - alarms, dogs, guards, and anti-theft cables (my LBS uses cables every night since he was robbed).
