Well, today's the day the race organizers take the TdU out of the sprinters' hands, supposedly. Expect a motivated pack, some tactical maneuvering by Saxo Bank, and a pretty cool race all around. But don't be shocked when a sprint happens anyway. Enjoy!

Here's hoping for no bunch sprint today!
I’d like to see some strongmen duke it out on the climb. O’Grady, Rogers, George, Roche, Armstrong, etc., anyone willing to have a go at the OA. Anyone inside a minute or so down on GC could win the TDU today.
Trying to get out of some plans so I can actually follow it. Considering breaking my finger.

They know me too well for the stomach virus thing...
I never get sick. Well, almost never. Diarrhea could work but after reading the DZ interview I’d be thinking about SPORT DEPENDS and there’s no way I could keep a straight face and pull it off.
Maybe I should tell them I just don’t like them!

I like the honesty policy.
Except at workplaces where honesty is the fastest route to getting yourself a pinkslip and some walking papers. Pretty much all of them!

i'm seeing now that
Voigt is at 39 secs of the yellow jersey….I O’Grady can do it, Voigt could be the plan B. Interesting….
Greetings from the furnace!
Yay! The race is on!
And ABC are talking cycling… however, I do suspect that we can also expect talk of cricket, footy, and various other irrelevant sports…
On that radio station this week
there has also been a lot of talk about trees, jellyfish, catpee-tasting wine, and other interesting topics.

Don't worry...
They’ll start talking about the race any second now. Why? – because I’m about to head downstairs to the laundry and put some washing on. They’ll stop when I get back ;)
It's 100F outside...
… that would be an emphatic No. Ya don’t want me to melt into the concrete, now do ya? :)
no worries Lou, they have let us down too much lately,
so me I have no great hopes of a lot od radio
btw, can you do my socks while you are down there, puhlease ?
Socks? Damn, am I gonna have to go downstairs again?
[eyes narrowing]
Oh I get it… trying to get me to leave the room so that they talk about the race again….
later today: the Old Willunga Hill Climb
from www.cycle2max.com,
" One of the toughest 3km climbs in Adelaide and a regular showdown for the local Tour Down Under this climb starts off steep and doesn’t seem to give any relief. "
(according to flatbagger. it starts off at 10%)
Distance: 3.00km Average Gradient: 7.6% Elevation Gain: 227m
It’s going to be fun later on !
Jack Bobridge is on fire today !
he was in every of the maybe 6 early break attempts, got into the one that stuck, and also came third at 1st sprint – methinks his fire will burn out too soon, unfortunately
Sprint #1 results
1 Travis Meyer (UniSA)
2 Imanol Erviti Ollo (Caisse d’Epargne)
3 Jack Bobridge (UniSA)
Actually it is Anders Lund, he is no. 25, and Ervitti is no 29. Both at the same time 39 sec.

Haaaha - told ya!
I just got back – in time to hear something about Stuey and Robbie being in the twilight of their careers… and then straight on to tennis. Did I miss much?
"don't be shocked when a sprint happens anyway"
Who said that? There will be a sprint, but only between a handful of guys. Astana and Sexy Bank and a few other high wattage hitting climbing power house freaks are going to rip this race to pieces today, and the endurance sprint to the finish starts the first time up Wilunga Hill. Well that’s my prediction anyway. Still contemplating my race winner for the day.
i agree
and Allan Davis will be there :P.
by semprenaroda on Jan 23, 2009 8:53 PM EST up reply actions
I don't see Allan doing it twice over Willunga today with the leaders, or leader
If he does, I’ll be the first to say, “Dayum” (stole that spelling from gavia)
it's contagious ;-)
ja, have to think davis will be hard-pressed to make the climb. he can climb okay for a sprinter, though.
slow in here tonight. How's it going?
I’m having Chicken Fettucini and garlic bread for dinner. Yum. It is 6pm here.
Has anyone noticed that Lund and Ollo are both down like 40 sec on GC?
Which means they’re leading the race right now. This break has got to come back, or one of those two guys wins it.
Today too looks like, broke a wheel, had to chase back on?

Yeah.. But to much pressure here
I think for him.. All that media.. Hard to handle
Some say the best things in life, are one the inside.
True
Very true.
Heh, I stumbled across a rather amusing pic of Gert standing next to Robbie at the team presentation the other day. Put an end to my speculation about Robbie leading out for Gert.
Heh.
That would lead to some great pics though, it’d be fun to see.

Hard classics-type strongguys I meant; always strong, not always big
Ballan, Devolder, O Grady, Museew, Hinault, etc. Not so big, really. Rebellin is tiny but strong as they come.
"....Up Sestriere on a rental clunker in jeans and loafers? Brother, lemme buy you a beer."
by Rolls on Jan 23, 2009 9:21 PM EST up reply actions
I think its more strength.
Bigger drag, but more muscle to fight through it with.
All I really know is that its been incredibly windy here the past few weeks and it sucks for me.
We have a real little powerhouse on our team we call the Wind Donkey
we believe he’s so small the wind doesn’t even know he’s there
big guys do better in the wind
Not just the horsepower advantage but the greater mass plows through easier and is less susceptible to wind gusts.
Whats the gap, or better yet, the link that you all are following the race on?
I'll go with Sanchez first overall on GC at end of the day.
Whatnhell, why not.
We could also bet on first rider to the top each of the two times up the hill!

can we start picking now ?

Do I get bonus points for making my pick yesterday?
BTW any sightings of Austin Powers and Dr. Evil?

I picked Allen Davis last night

Ok, I'm gonna go with a lame pick, one of the Garmin guys who's inside a minute off GC
will at least make some noise here. There are too many of them for them all to flame out.
Ok, totally sentimental. Lowe for the day, would thrill me.
That’s it, I’m committed.
Break gets caught halfway up? Whaddya think?

ok another scenario (not a pick) that would make me happy.
Nothing against Lance, but I’d love it if Hincapie took today, domestique makes good and all that.
when I picked 23 minutes ago : " I pick : Lance ! "
I meant for overall TdU GC
I have not picked a stage winner, so I am out of running for that.
Mattie Lloyd for the stage win
Stuey to wind up with the GC.
It’s starting to look like O’Grady has gotten over his horror crash and is starting this year in grand form.
Good evening/afternoon, everyone!
I’m going with Rogers for the GC win and (in honor of it being 1 degree F outside right now, Jussi Veikkanen for the win today. What the heck.
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
He's working for Stuey, tuning up for his victorious T of CA, of couse! :-)
(I used to pick him to win all the time, 3-4 yrs ago, and I find that he wins more when I don’t jinx him with too much in my fervor.)

13:34 CST
The peloton has split in two now, the front chase group includes: Michael Rogers (Team Columbia – High Road), Adam Hansen (Team Columbia – High Road), Jonas Ljungblad (Silence – Lotto), Matthew Lloyd (Silence – Lotto), Tom Stubbe (Silence – Lotto), Jesus Hernandez (Astana), Jussi Veikkanen (Française Des Jeux), Jérémy Roy (Française Des Jeux), Wesley Sulzberger (Française Des Jeux), Matthew Wilson (UniSA), Luis Leon Sanchez Gil (Caisse d’Epargne), Mathieu Perget (Caisse d’Epargne), Javier Megías Leal (Fuji-Servetto) and Rein Taaramae (Cofidis).

Johann:

Johann
Different groups are coming back together now in the downhill. 50 riders together now. Still 2 riders off the front. Klimov and Bobridge
is he dropped, is he back on ?
we do not know yet, and maybe as above he is saving legs for important 2nd climb of Willunga
From the cyclingnews ticker
Is there any other way to follow the race?
I’m guessing that if he was in this group they would call out his name. No mention of him by name suggests to me that he is either hiding or not in the picture (and where in a bike race could he hide!?)

That is why dopers suck! cause when someone has a great ! day, you are left wondering – sad.
Bobridge is probably at top fitness. He trained for the AUS Champonships and won both U23 TT and Road
