Tuesday 26th April: Tour of Romandie - Prologue: Martigny, 3.5km

[Gloin22]

Better than Wiggins

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Come on Millar.


Not bad.

 

[cineteq]

He didn't seem happy.

Wondering what's going to be his excuse this year...

 

[jaylew]

This would be a good one for Boom, methinks.

 

[roundabout]

Guess Bennati won't podium this

 

[Mellow Velo]

No slow Benno.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bennati outside the top 5

 

[Moondance]

Bennati close. Fortunately young Dutchie van Winden stays Top-5.

 

[Moondance]

Is there anything more horrid in this world than the Spanish TT Champ jersey?

Seriously, Lulu's is slightly better than what Bertie used to have, but not by much.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Millar just slightly faster than Van Winden

 

[Moondance]

Denis ...

 

[goggalor]

Why isn't Rogers riding?

 

[Sasquatch]

Looks like Castro has this unless Pinotti shows up.

If the course was the distance it was supposed to be, it would have been a different story.

 

[jaylew]

Can Pinotti repeat?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Looks to me like another win for Euskatel, stopping BMC getting number two by less than 3 tenths of a second.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Loser Leon Sanchez looks slow

 

[roundabout]

Lulu still mediocre

 

[Sasquatch]

Looks to me like another win for Euskatel, stopping BMC getting number two by less than 3 tenths of a second.

Better put ACF on suicide watch in a white padded room.

 

[superconfex]

Lulu at rabo just isn't working

 

[jaylew]

The "baby-faced assassin"

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Brajkovic with a healthy BMI of -12 at the start

 

[Gloin22]

Why isn't Rogers riding?

Sick and out.

 

[Moondance]

Lulu at rabo just isn't working

Who knows, he might be clean now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pinotti also sucking huge dragon balls

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I dunno why Bobridge is so overrated on the road.

I don't think he has shown anything in time trials except the Australian nationals.

He's a brilliant track rider but has not shown anything on the road.

He's won the Australian National time trial championship and at 19 he won the U23 Worlds. I don't think that counts as not showing anything when you're talking about a 21 year old.

And in any case, the physical characteristics needed to be a top track rider and those needed to win short flat road time trials are basically the same. He'll learn to take a corner, he'll get stronger as he ages, and he'll win a whole lot of prologues.
