Ryo Hazuki said:imo leipheimer won't win either. besides this year leipheimers itt suck quite a bit, other than san luis, but you never know in usa...
hiero2 said:Agree - I don't think Levi will win, but I'm not voting for him to win. When it comes to Levi, CVV and TJ, it is which one of them comes 1st and by how much. Taylor's time looks real good, and I'll vote for him to win.
Not from Boulder, still a Phinney fanboy!
SafeBet said:Average time from Moreno Moser, 53 seconds down Phinney. He's getting better though.
Ryo Hazuki said:I was expecting as much as from listening to these ******s I must asusme boulder is the mecca of just about anything.
Ryo Hazuki said:how is that average? he's not exatcly an itt specialist.
SafeBet said:He's previously shown he's better than that, especially in short TTs. His prologue in Suisse was wonderful for instance.
Ryo Hazuki said:yes, which was a hilly climb with a technical downhil after it. not much to do with itt, really
BillytheKid said:It will be interesting to see what Nibali does here.
Mellow Velo said:Don't think he'll be trying very hard.
Have to say that this course isn't exactly technical.
Wide roads and gentle bends, almost like a giant, flat velodrome.

pure Jens!
SafeBet said:It was an example among others.
All of his ITT results from this year suggest he's better than losing one minute in 15kms to Taylor Phinney. All the ones I remember at least.
You can check them.
I wouldn't call him a specialist, but he's better than this when in top shape (which is clearly not the case, as previous stages show).
It seems he's like Sagan in his first pro season, great until August.SafeBet said:It was an example among others.
