Who will win the Olympic ITT?

[Alpechraxler]

Tony should really learn how to handle a bike. His power files are incredible but watching him going through turns keeps sending me shivers. Even his coach makes fun of him occasionally...

Does anybody remember the ITT in Pais Vasco this year ? Martin was so afraid of the corners and so ****ed after the race... If he's so afraid of the corners he should use alloy rims for better braking power...

Or those Magura brakes?

Anyone know extent of Cancellara's injury?

 

[El Pistolero]

Wiggins can win this now, I won't mind.

He did put in a huge load of work at the road race, so he'll have deserved it I guess. Just wish he shaved his sideburns.

RSNT ‏@RSNT

Fabian Cancellara headed to the hospital for an X-ray scan of his right shoulder. We'll keep you updated!


as far as i know, this is where we're at

 

[BillytheKid]

Phinney, he can taste it after today. (Based completely on what I would like to happen)

Mick Rogers.

So Cancellara is not out yet?

fingers crossed

 

[taiwan]

Wiggins is more or less a mortal lock now.

 

[Rocksteady]

Phinney seems to be in good form. Could steal a medal.. Go Taylor!!

What is the word on Tony - I assumed he just dropped out to look after his own medal chances - was it actually an injury?

I just assumed he was still being affected by the one he had at the Tour.

Hope ur rite. £20 on him to win the event. Get well soon Cancellara, and make it quick mate.

He twitted that he is in the hospital waiting for the x-ray result. He seems heartbroken.

Thanks Cancellator. Hope the big man gets himself sorted. I firmly believe he will be OK. A terrible looking fall and the way his body was twisted when he herocially jumped back on the bike looked very awkward. A hospital in London ? We all would have to wait weeks for a result. Being an Olympian must have free BUPA membership benefits.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Cancella out, Tony struggling, Wiggo and Froom tired.
In the end might we see a suprise and an outsider like Chavannel will take this?

 

[K-0tic]

Still don't think Chavanel can surprise all favourites. But a medal should be possible.

 

[taiwan]

Still think it's for Wiggins, but Sanchez is another outsider for the podium in current form.

poor thing... any further info?

Sucks that he crashed, even more so that he crashed on the same side he broke in flanders, that doesn't bode well for starting the TT.

Or maybe Phinney? A 4th in the road race should give him some confidence for the TT, and he's had plenty of time to recover after the Giro.

good news:

Fabian cancellara ‏@f_cancellara

Looks like a hard night with a lots of pain.happy is not broken but the pain will be on!For the timetrial nothing is shure yet 50/50change

his and Martin's injuries open up a lot of possibilities for the likes of Phinney, van Garderen, Lulu Sanchez, Chava, etc thats for sure. contending for silver and bronze most likely, but still

I am hoping Phinney will get some belief out of today.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I am now tipping Phinney.
