Who will win the Olympic ITT?

[MartinGT]

Stand up and be proud Fab, we love you man.

 

[El Pistolero]

Funny how Froome is now third best time trial specialist when a few years ago I thought this guy was awful on a TT bike.

 

[dlwssonic]

Yeah, very impressive, he'll be a force for a long time.

Yes I can foresee phinney becoming a dominant TT rider. he did great today to finish 4th.

 

[Warhawk]

Way to stiff the little kid on the autograph, Wiggo.

 

[JibberJim]

Cancellara looks seriously rough - doc's with him now

 

[thirteen]

Stand up and be proud Fab, we love you man.

i know... what heart!

 

[dlwssonic]

Phinney #4 again. Next Olympics he's gonna get a medal.

Got a chance to win it next olympics.

finally showing some potential in the longer TTs.
He always looked great in the prologue but not really in the longer TTs.

 

[Bala Verde]

Queen Elizabeth will retire, and Wiggins will be the King.

God save the Queen.

@Vaughters

Excellent ride by Phinney. With 4 more years and more grand tours to build lactate metabolism, he'll win a medal.

Hard to disagree with that assessment. Great ride from him.

 

[SiAp1984]

Absolutely great ride by Wiggins. Impressive. Not sure if a fit Tony Martin would have had a chance to win today. However, it is a pitty that Cance crashed during the road race. Would have been even a nicer race with him in best shape.

Congratulations to Martin, Froome as well. A nice podium.

[El Pistolero]

Gilbert 17th, pretty impressive.

 

[hrotha]

Shame that Castroviejo missed on an Olympic diploma.

As for the UK, lol.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Predictably, half the forum head straight over to the Clinic.

 

[MartinGT]

Jaysus, what happend to Menchov?

 

[spalco]

Gilbert 17th, pretty impressive.

Well, out of how many starters?

Even I would have made the top50 in this race.

 

[El Pistolero]

Some nobody from UK just won gold medal. Tony Martin NOWHERE MAN.

 

[Magnus]

That would be Tony or Zabriskie.

Maybe Z, but Tony? No way.

 

[Montanus]

Predictably, half the forum head straight over to the Clinic.

Yeah, I guess this was the ultimate evidence, the nail in the coffin so to speak.

 

[MartinGT]

Wiggins has had one unbelievable year. He has'nt put one foot wrong all year. Whatever you think of him, you have to say he deserves massive praise for the publicity he has given this sport of ours in Britain.

To bes sure, to be sure.

I am feeling for Fab though I must say

 

[The Hitch]

Some nobody from UK just won gold medal. Tony Martin NOWHERE MAN.

Boonen is not getting velo'dor

 

[TheEnoculator]

Jaysus, what happend to Menchov?

Menchov is done. After 2010 when he finished 2nd in the Tour, his career is pretty much coming to an end.

 

[piemonster]

At least the Beeb are congratulating Spartacus for fighting through his injury

 

[hrotha]

Predictably, half the forum head straight over to the Clinic.

Not heading to the Clinic after what we've seen the last few months would be just irresponsible.

 

[El Pistolero]

Boonen is not getting velo'dor

A lot can happen in 6 months.
