USAPCC Prologue: Colorado Springs ITT 8.3km (22/8)

[just some guy]

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.

Turn the sound off ?

If this "ecycle" moron who tweeted into ES that Vuelta should be shortened to give this a bigger role, is reading, i would just like to post a big IN YOUR FACE, that will NEVER HAPPEN. Shame.

Got that out of the way.

 

[Jamsque]

Bottle about to start.

I think Cadel is going to be slow today, he hasn't turned a pedal in anger since the Champs Elysee.

 

[Mellow Velo]

I don't think this prologue is right up Bottle's street.
Basso bombs. Quelle surprise.

 

[The Hitch]

Turn the sound off ?

Nah thanks, id rather complain

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Has everyone else lost Phil and Paul's prattling for the last 10 minutes?

 

[Jamsque]

Not good from Basso.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Cadel's bonnet makes him look like his head is about to explode.
TJvG 7th.meh.

 

[hrotha]

"Tom Zirbel-is his team here? Is he? That guy can bury the needle on a TT!"

LOL

 

[Jamsque]

Tejay seventh! Way to let me down, van Garderen.

 

[roundabout]

That's Basso-poor from Andy

Edit:misread the distance

 

[patrick767]

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

Hey, he's been acclimating himself to the high elevations. His idea of acclimation just happens to involve lots of beer.

 

[The Hitch]

Evans is a good bet for the stage actually

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

Explain....

 

[Mellow Velo]

Schleckette ran out of Michelob.
Craptain America..............only 14th.

 

[roundabout]

Explain....

*Negative thinking makes bad things happen.*

Or at least that's how I understood D_T's post.

 

[Jamsque]

Zabriskie is not going to be fast enough.

14th.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

The way the weather has closed in, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of an air pressure difference by the end.

Henao only 35 seconds down on the credible GC men.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Levi 7th and complaining to somebody about something.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leipheimer in a downhill = no victory

 

[roundabout]

Gretsch will win

 

[Jamsque]

Cuddles under 2km to go at 7'25", he has a chance at this actually!

 

[killswitch]

Great win by Gretsch.

Got that out of the way.

First thing this race needs to learn from the Vuelta is hiring the right people for holding the riders on the TT start ramp.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gretsch 8:27
Vandevelde 8:29
V Garderen 8:35
Leipheimer 8:35
Evans 8:35
Zabriskie 8:42
Danielson 8:44
Gesink 8:45
Hesjedal 8:51
Sevilla 9:00
Andy 9:03
Frank 9:04
Henao 9:13
Basso 9:19

From the TT specialists Leipheimer, Evans and Van Garderen all did their job. From the climbers Gesink did the best job

 

[Mellow Velo]

Evans 9th and he looks like he's half asleep. Talk about shallow breathing.
