what, you consider something a double post by different people if it's the same time?

Have you tried shutting down and reloading the Cafe.
I had the double posts earlier and that seemed to clear it.

at least 90" back of Cance
which means more than a minute behind Bert, which I think pretty much eliminates him. I have to admit, I am shocked at how poorly Menchov did today.

Course too short?
I think Menchov prefers a longer time trial – he’s lost time in prologues before. Doesn’t explain the magnitude of the time gap though.
