Tirreno - Adriatico: Stage 1, Marina di Carrara - 16.8km, TTT

[maltiv]

Sky are 26 seconds behind at 1st check

Guess that's what happens when a team that could easily win this race decides to send all their time trialists to Paris-Nice

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Rabo must have worked their asses off at training camp, they are on great early season form.

meh, have a look at their squad here, not that shocking. A bit surprising yes... but some decent time trialists there, and some quick men which help.

 

[Moondance]

Ohhh... Garmin 2nd. 9 seconds down.

 

[Havetts]

What's wrong with the commentator? "Look at this time by Omega Pharma Lotto!" - huh? They finished 41 seconds down?

Yeah, he said Astana had a very good time too.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Sky had a strong team but didn't deliver imo.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

which rabo rider crossed the line first?

 

[Havetts]

Seems to be Boom according to posters .

Thanks for doing the leaderboard timmy!

 

[Moondance]

Boom...........

 

[auscyclefan94]

Liquigas 13 seconds behind at 1st check...

 

[nickel999]

Boom first across the line, of course.

I think Boom is going to have a BIG year

 

[Jamsque]

I'd hoped for more from Sky but they didn't bring their best TTT squad so it's not a huge surprise.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Boom...........

my CQ team celebrates

 

[The Hitch]

I got nothing else to do so am just mocking the commentators on both threads.

Kirby: Rodriguez did well in the Tour of Flanders
Backsted: Flanders? You mean Pozzato
Kirby: No i mean Joaquim Rodriguez
Backsted: No.
Kirby: Oh
Backsted: maybe you mean Flech Wallone
Kirby: oh ok.

Of course. With one of the best names in cycling, that's his duty.

[auscyclefan94]

I think it is a good idea in short ttt's like this to lose a rider or two by using them up early.

 

[Moondance]

So does mine.

Although this kind of stuff is small potatoes. He's gotta turn up big in the classics if he's going to repay our investment.

 

[The Hitch]

Cancellara gets on the front and Wegman drops out immediately.

 

[Moondance]

Is anyone but the Canc working for LEOPARD-TREK?
