Tour of California Stage 7: Los Angeles TT (33.6 km)

[maltiv]

Great stuff by Tony Martin! He will surely be an awesome slave for Cavendish at the TDF.

They both chose the same flag to confuse us even more

Their national anthems use the same melody as well!

 

[Goldberger]

Whoever is producing these time trials for tv should be ashamed.....

Horrible coverage

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Marc..... NoooOOoOo!!!!

Hehe I expected that, hasn't ridden a serious TT in the last 2 seasons and barely did a TT training lately.

Something to work on.

I think Rogers had some kind of water tube thing in his skinsuit. Mystery solved!

 

[Cervelo77]

Voigt moves up to 4th overall. Jens!

The high tech TT'ers use ice packs I heard... maybe it was a tube of ice??

 

[Boardslide]

I think these mini water bottles were first used by Sky or I read a Brailsford article about their use(sorry can't remember which)

Voigt moves up to 4th overall. Jens!

Totally undeserved, finding Zabriskie just when it gets difficult, and drafting his way to the line. Sutherland ought to be pi$$ed off.

What an absolute joke of a TT. Horrible course, horrible coverage, and the race jury asleep at the wheel.

Should get a time penalty of 1 minute though. Drafter

 

[santacruz]

Tony Martin such a rad dude.. all smiles, even hugs the fat guy who weighs as much as 6 Tony Martins, lol.

 

[Boardslide]

Well you must admit the Yanks couldn't organise a P***up in a brewery let alone a well run TT or tour

 

[goggalor]

The ToC needs the Badger to guide the riders around the podium. That brunette is putting him out of work!

"You'd be wise to stick to la bise, mademoiselle! I am le Badgeur, this is my podium! Just ask ze protesteurs!"

Didn't realize that he was drafting that much b.c. I was splitting attention towards something else.

Agree about the course, coverage, and jury. I saw at least 3 other cases where blatant drafting was occurring.

no thats denmark and spain you're thinking of

 

[karlboss]

anyone else find it amusing that the shack loaded a team and still can't win?

Tour of the Basque Country & Brabantse Pijl don't exist in your world?

I don't think they stacked those teams and ignored the 2nd biggest race in the world for them.

Folks, everyone knows that RadioShack has unselfishly decided to focus on the team classifications.

well played

 

[Cobblestones]

Tommy D losing about 2 min and ending up 10 overall which probably a great result.

And Levi only 3rd. Bummer for the Shack.

 

[Highlander]

Then they better do something dramatic tomorrow as it looks like Garmin is leading in that category.

 

[Ferminal]

What a world-class event.

Who is Sagan???

From the live report:
¨And while we've mentioned the Bissell team, Cyclingnews' own Laura Weislo would like to thank the Bissell team's chiropractor Brad Foster for helping alleviate some back pain this morning.

He used the same active release techniques he uses on the riders before they TT - he says it increases lung capacity by 15% by lengthening the muscles connected to the rib cage.¨

Typical chiro mumbo jumbo, scientifically proven is it? Not likely.
