Leipheimer back in yellow. Bah

 

[thirteen]

crap! ...........

 

[powerste]

17 Seconds. Damn!

 

[roundabout]

Levi and VdV both pass him

 

[kanari]

Kirby not very happy with the timing

 

[jens_attacks]

congrats levi,another race won.

incredible times in this time trial

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ugh. Bottle wins.

 

[Jamsque]

Saturday is the only day where we might see any more GC movement unless someone goes for the longest of long ones on Lookout Mountain.

 

[thirteen]

i agree with the pumpkin.

 

[kielbasa]

Don't worry TJ, you've got 15 years to get as good as LL.

 

[benpounder]

I could be wrong but Levi seems to be struggling for rhythm.

Yep, you could be wrong...

Chapeau to Vande Velde and Infantino for really animating things.

And for all those of you that poo-poo the effects of altitude...


Saturday will be epic.

 

[powerste]

Ugh. Bottle wins.

Perfectly stated Moose!

 

[roundabout]

It's up to him but I hope VdV continues. He still has what it takes.

 

[patrick767]

We'll see. The GC times are close and the stages have time bonuses. I never would have thought yesterday's downhill finish would produce a 45 second gap on top contenders, so I certainly wouldn't call the race over.

 

[Jamsque]

Gobernacion were all over Utah but seem to have faded a little here. Is the parcours just not steep enough for them to have an impact?

 

[benpounder]

they said the clock had a habit of jumping 10 secs when they hit stop

Not unusual. I've noticed this for virtually every European race I view via these intertuby things.

 

[Escarabajo]

Specialist? That's a bit of a stretch don't you think?

He actually is. Duartista called it yesterday. So he knew about him. So there you have it.

 

[Jamsque]

Live coverage of SUVs going down the highway! Riveting. I want some GC times please.

Or tired I guess.

Maybe already packing his bags since they don't have any chance with this parcours. Henao looked tired yesterday. He is like Contador, if he is not attacking you know he is not having a good day.

With no picture break up!!

I think the team car time to the hotel gets factored into the GC somehow.

 

[powerste]

If I can add (no guarantee), it's

1 Bottle
2 CVV @ 12 sec
3 TeeJay @ 17
4 Tommy D @ 21

That should be more like it! Adding/subtracting faster than I can type

 

[roundabout]

If I can add (no guarantee), it's

1 Bottle
2 CVV @ 12 sec
3 Tommy D @ 31

Tejay should be 3rd at 16 seconds or so.

Chapeau to Vande Velde and Infantino for really animating things.

and my boyfriend comes back that night which means i don't get to watch

 

[velobabee]

levi isn't clean.

Levi is 38 years old, hardly breathing heavy at the finish. TJ, 22 falls on the ground in agony. telling if you ask me. i lived in aspen for 40 years as a bike racer. vail sucks, but i don't believe for one second that Levi is clean. i HATE VAIL† he is the antichrist of lance armstrong. alien = levi.

 

[Duartista]

For Henao and Acevedo - yes, probably. I'm really surprised by Sevilla's poor time today though.
