I don't think anyone will go under phinney's time, although I don't think zabriskie's time was very good

 

[BillytheKid]

who is this guy talking about phinney. according to him I should pray to him eveyr day for making the sun rise and oh yeah if he wants to **** my girlfriend, he can because he's tailor f'n god!!

The announcers all live in Boulder so they go ga ga over their homeboys.

I was expecting as much as from listening to these ******s I must asusme boulder is the mecca of just about anything.

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...

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!

Still good with Phinney as well.

Average time from Moreno Moser, 53 seconds down Phinney. He's getting better though.

how is that average? he's not exatcly an itt specialist.

 

[BillytheKid]

I would Paul. Jens was more agressive by far. He's just not from Boulder.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Now that Zirbel has finished I am hoping that Tejay can WIN THIS THING!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

velits didn't lose much in 2nd part. 21 seconds behind tjvg. someone else could still win, like tjvg

 

[BillytheKid]

Final moments for Hincapie.....

Hey now...I live here and we have our fair share of @*******....and I am a bit tired of constant hype of TP.
THere are many reasonable folks around that cringe when we hear some of the dribble...

 

[SafeBet]

He's previously shown he's better than that, especially in short TTs. His prologue in Suisse was wonderful for instance.

yes, which was a hilly climb with a technical downhil after it. not much to do with itt, really

 

[screaming fist]

Oh Jens! That skin suit!!!

 

[mewmewmew13]

Oh Jens! That skin suit!!!

lol
pure Jens!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

why is non of the split data or finasl times of the epm guys known?

 

[BillytheKid]

It will be interesting to see what Nibali does here.

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).

 

[Mellow Velo]

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.

3rd best time. He's been going well here dispite no results.

Is Jens pulling a Mario? I can't see, anybody have a picture?

I know all his results. in italy he was a pretty good itt rider, but in italy that doesn't man much. today is against real specilists of world class on a pure itt course

It seems he's like Sagan in his first pro season, great until August.

 

[SafeBet]

Nibali's building up very well towards the World Champs. Curious to see him in the Giro di Padania.


What Ryo said earlier is true. Nobody is losing much in the final section of the stage, meaning Phinney slowed down in the end. Kloden and TVG might still claim the win.
