Chavanel's fantastic season continues!

I’d love to see him do something special at the Tour. The Bastille Day stage to Hautacam is probably too much to hope for, but a stage win on one of the classics-type stages would be cool, too.

he's a good pick for that, i think

the ardennes, i mean, not the hautacam thingy. he’s riding awesome!

yup. I have Tanel Kangert...

as well as Cance and Chav. But a system where all three counted equally would hardly work…

too bad USA champs aren't now

We’d be assured of not having Z as the champ . . . . again. For Americans, he is the equilivant of Fabian Cancellara for time trialing.

He only beat Pate by like a second. Last year was close!

Yea for Colombians on the ACE program! As opposed to, say, the -02 World TT Champ....

Sastre 12th at 1:46 down over 27.7 km

I read somewhere that Sastre decided last-minute to ride the national TT to judge his form because he’d been doing a lot of TT training – so, to me, losing nearly 2 min over 27.7 km doesn’t seem too great … but then again, maybe for him that’s a big improvement? can’t remember offhand how much time he tends to lose in TTs…
