Vuelta a España - Stage 1 August 28, TTT Sevilla 16.5km

[The Hitch]

Vamos Xacebo. Limit your losses. Could this minor team provide a gt winner.

 

[Moondance]

Sky sucked... Like I predicted.

 

[The Hitch]

Nothing special from sky. And this was probably their specialty. perhaps Flecha, Kennaugh or Lokvist for a stage or 2 but this might be another long gt for them.

 

[Moondance]

Get Fabian on the mobile. Only a full stage neutralization will do.

+1

Well played, sir.

 

[Barrus]

Does anyone know what was the problem with Löfkvits?

 

[The Hitch]

Garmin about to start. I think Augusterone could kick in here.

TT is normally Sky' specialty - but not with that team - there's not really a TT specialist in there!

News in that Fly V next year are going to be wearing jerseys with aboriginal art on them! -ugh!

I thought they would just have a great big picture of Yahoo Serious on them, sort of similar to the Vino 4-Ever jersey.

why was it their speciality.. i said earlier, middle finish at best.. there are ****** all time triallers on the sky team.

8th at the moment is about as expected

 

[Moondance]

Garmin all spread out....

No mention of it that I've heard. I thought he was supposed to be their GC-man?

Not really. The Vuelta team isn't exactly strong on the Time Trialists. Top 10 would have been a great result for them.

If Garmin or HTC don't win then they'd have seriously screwed up because their teams are set up perfectly for this stage.

 

[Moondance]

Go garmin!!!! Dave brailssford should hang himself imo.

Has encouraging people to commit suicide following poor TT performances become your thing, or something?

But there is a 1st division football match right now (Levante - Sevilla)

 

[auscyclefan94]

Xacobeo dropping like flies and Garmin splitting up by going out too hard. This is close to garmins "a ttt team"

 

[Barrus]

That was why I presumed there was a problem. Otherwise the team should have waited a bit

 

[The Hitch]

Garmin down to 8. 8 wasnt good enough for them in the giro, and they had a great team there too.

Go garmin!!!! D

Why?

Concentrate on bigging up fly-v;s chances of winning the tour next year and cadels chances of winning the worlds and worry less about slating other teams.

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Go garmin!!!!

Nice comment. What a lovely person you seem to be.

 

[roundabout]

How lousy must the form/handling skills be to be dropped from the last place in line in the first km?

 

[Sneekes]

Sometimes you really need to engage your brain before you type.

He's aussie, he's not got one!
