Tour of California, Stage 6: Solvang ITT, 24 km

[goggalor]

Horner going fast on the climb.

 

[The Hitch]

The guy in yellow usually performs better than usual on these tts.

Purito being a big big exception.

Considering Zabriskie just broke the course record, if Leipheimer wins today the Clinic will explode.

ha. seems like the Clinic is buzzing to a crescendo anyway

Well, Levi is ahead of Dave Z at the intermediate timecheck...

 

[Bavarianrider]

Pathetic performance by Schleck

Pathetic performance by Schleck

High expectations?

 

[roundabout]

Hmm, I didn't expect Horner to lose that much at the split.

 

[mewmewmew13]

I'm still sad for Zirbel. Bad luck.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The fact that anyone follows Leipheimer on Twitter is the best evidence I've seen so far that the end of the world is rapidly approaching.

 

[The Hitch]

Zabriskie has it.

 

[roundabout]

Guess Zabriskie won

 

[Bavarianrider]

High expectations?

+ 2.: 14 on 24km is a joke.

If there only were two long tim etrials in the Tour. Schleck wouldn't win a thing. Pathetic that this chiken is the fav for the Tour

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I never thought I'd be so happy to see a JV team win here, but Levi not winning has saved us the verbal fellatio on the commentary, the clinic exploding with rage and most importantly, it has saved us from Levi winning.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

HAHA. Leipheimer just took a nice big whiff of DZNuts.

Don't worry if Rujano had a twitter there would be a billion followers so in comparision the ratio to Levi would be great.

He'll win the Tour as long as Contador isn't there.

 

[roundabout]

31.26 for Horner. A bit worse than i expected.

While I agree that it was a horrendous performance in terms of raw power, I don't think this should be taken as a barometer. Why should he take risks (which is what TTs are partly about) here in a race he cares little about, potentially getting wounded

 

[Cobblestoned]

DZnuts takes it

Horner down but still in the lead

After stage 4 I was worried that Schleck was peaking too early.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wooooooohoooooo.

Suck it, Bottle. You're Horner's cabana boy now.

 

[El Oso]

HAHA. Leipheimer just took a nice big whiff of DZNuts.

LOL!!!! Awesome

 

[insideout leadout]

Mont baldy? Dedicated to Horner?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Horner's tired.

Levi! Bring a bottle.

 

[mewmewmew13]

haha as Levi rounded one of the corners Phil commented " that clean bottle gets everywhere" with mr bottle in the background
