Who will win the Olympic ITT?

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Hope Armstrong beats that time - Arndt took at least 7 seconds from her little car surfing escapade earlier.

 

[Montanus]

Arndt! Strong finish. Linda will miss medal.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Armstrong defends her title

 

[woodburn]

Very impressive. Especially after breaking collarbone and then crash in road race.

 

[Machu Picchu]

two bronze medals for Zabelinskaya! hasn't she done well after her road race efforts.

 

[Bala Verde]

She came out of retirement, and she had been struggling to get into shape (May collarbone broken or something) before the Olympics? She's the oldest medalist? 38/39 years old.

Pretty awesome she managed to pull this off to defend her Beijing title.

 

[Der Effe]

The two American fans made me laugh. One was going absolutely mental and the other one just kept looking at the camera as he was about to say "Go away, take that camera away. I don't want to be seen with that lunatic standing next to me."

Best moment of the day, already. If you're Dutch, that is.

 

[JibberJim]

We didn't get to see how long Armstrong got with the car, but probably a fair result but terrible seeding to put Vos there.

is she clinic material?

 

[Montanus]

Average speed for Armstrong today: 46.3 kph (29k)

Average speed for Arndt in WC ITT last year 44.9 kph (27.8k)

Martin averaged 51.8 kph i Copenhagen. So, should we expect the winner today to reach around 53 kph? Given Martin exceptional performance last year, I think it will be more around 52 kph.

yes, she was a surprise to do so well in the itt...who knows, if she started having the advantage of knowing armstrong's splits, she may have been in silver.


not bad for a mother of 2 and an out of wed daughter of a gold olympic cyclist.

The clinic could do with another Armstrong thread

Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Struggling to get into shape not accurate - she dominated the woman's time trial this year in the Tour of CA (her time was faster than half the men's field), broke her collarbone in May, but showed good form in July in the Cascade classic by dominating it.

tja ...

 

[Montanus]

Let the battle of the three begin:

Cancellara

Wiggins

Martin

And let's not forget the outsider: Vroom

 

[dlwssonic]

Wow just another gold medal like that for the US. I got a feeling they are gonna overtake china soon in the medal tally.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Twitter seems to love this Armstrong

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Are there any germans that can pass a Dutch guy during the time trial? Because we've been owned and beaten in all kind of sports by Germans today.

 

[quiqui]

Why are the gaps between riders just 1:30 when there are only 37 riders?

 

[dlwssonic]

Phinney!!
He has been preparing solely for this TT.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

1- Wiggins
2- Froome
3- Rogers

Guys, read whatever you want into it.

Grabsch starts only six minutes behind Westra.
