[rides like a girl]

Stuck at work, no Internet on work computer. Using iphone to get updates... You guys are better than the shack tracker with commentary. Thanks

If a TT specialist like Ben Jacques Maynes finishes 50th, you know this TT has nothing to do with strength or skill. just go down the mountain fastest

 

[Jamsque]

Here comes Tejay, I tipped him for the win so he BETTER DELIVER!

 

[Mellow Velo]

TeJay orf. Nice pointy arrow in the head again.
Well, it is *** country.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

There's a 30km downhill and those aren't exactly steep climbs.

ALTITUDE + many attacks = no field.

Believe me.
Look at Utah, an easy stage with the last climb 25km from the finish. What happens? Gobernacions attack and 5 guys go to the finish with Anthony winning.

You are gruesomely underestimating the race

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Whoever is running the Tracker website has clearly had just about all he can take of Phil and Paul!

I am going to miss Cadel's tt

Is Andy S allowed to take a spare beer bottle from his team car during a prologue?

Gesink.............not bad at all.

 

[Vitapen]

17th - not bad for Gesink.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink with a 17th time. Very good time actually

 

[auscyclefan94]

8:45 for Gesink 16th

 

[just some guy]

Not bad by Gesink

 

[Jamsque]

Here comes Bobby G, goes 17th at the line at +18s. Solid ride.

Gobersomething will eliminate 95% of people that beat them in TT's but won't get enough time on Leipheimer etc. Time trialists who can climb.

We'll see.

 

[just some guy]

Capt America on course

 

[Jamsque]

Ahahahahhaa Dave Z looks smug as **** on the start ramp.

The counting guy clearly told him there would be cold beer at the finish. Andy looked very motivated afterwards.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

You're a born pessimist. If you think that way you make it happen.

I hate negative people

 

[The Hitch]

I like the rider profiles they do.

Im getting a bit annoyed with Carltons sarcasm regarding Cadel and TDF.

"Cadel just so happened to win this little thing called the Tour".

" Last time Cadel was racing he was winning a little thing called the Tour de France"

We get it.

 

[Amsterhammer]

17th - not bad for Gesink.

Indeed....was just thinking Dave Z looks like Captain America when the announcer said the same

 

[l.Harm]

Gesink with a 17th time. Very good time actually

Just what we can expect in this form (I assume he's not top now).

 

[roundabout]

Huh? I have an influence on an event thousands of kilometers away. Man, I'm good.



And even if a race turns out the way I predicted it would just be another reason to improve the course for next year

Gesink.............not bad at all.

Andy's been last week doing pub reconnaissance. He can spare 10 minutes without drinking.
