USAPCC Stage 1: Salida to Crested Butte 159.9km (23/8/2011)

[el chava]

Look at Levi trying to ride away from the chaperones, lol.

edit: Luckyboy beats me to it

 

[The Hitch]

That's what Paul said.

About who. Peter is at the Vuelta. Is Juraj here? if so he is older and obviously less talented.

 

[hatcher]

Henao would have had that if he didn't have to get round Evans.

Great finish from Levi.

 

[Havetts]

Gesinks explosiveness has really gone down the drain. He was better at this at age 20.. I keep saying that. Delahaye is screwing him up

+1, imho he rides a waaaay too light gear. Bit hard to go up in RPM when you already ride so extremely light.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Evans showing the lack of race fitness in his legs, I don't think I've ever seen him dropped by Levi before.

Last year's TDF?

Presumably several other times, they have both raced against each other for a very long time, and Levi isn't quite as bad as advertised. And, lest we forget, 2 years ago Cadel was a joke around here.

About Juraj when he won the sprint in Crested Butte.

 

[jens_attacks]

man that was sick levi was doing 40 kmph there=)))))))))amazing

vamos gobernacion!!!!

 

[insideout leadout]

Least tired rider won today, it has nothing to do with explosiveness.

 

[jobiwan]

Boy, TOMORROW is going to be tough!!!

 

[jobiwan]

Young Tejay looking good! Vdv as well!

They literally rolled along today, altitude or no altitude.

 

[Jamsque]

Bottle
Henao +4
F Schleck +7
Evans +7
CVV +7
TJVG +7
Acevedo +10
Gesink +10

 

[The Hitch]

appearently the ticker never heard of Gilbert or Sagan

He/she thinks Evans is unbeatable in an uphill sprint

Or Levi Leipheimer.

So after all that, Henao is still basically 20th overall thanks to a prologue.

Said it before, but great route design...

Losing 45 seconds over 8km is really quite poor.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Losing 45 seconds over 8km is really quite poor.

Yeah, he's a crap TTer, but given he dropped the TDF podium on the only 'MTF' of the race to finish 2nd, it's not unreasonable to expect that result to be capable of making a dent in to the time gaps created in the prologue.
