PrintTime to settle the GC. Edvald Boasson Hagen seems to have the win almost in his grasp. 13.1 km shouldn't create the big timegaps and unfortunately some of the TT threats have fallen by the wayside, most notably JI Gutierrez and Nibali. Farrar in second place is DNS today, opting to move on to Assen to rest up for his third GT this year.
First rider sets off at 12:35 CEST and EBH should start some time around 16:00 depending on how many other DNS we have today.

First!
Bad news about Farrar for the VDS teams that have him—end of race points out the window. Still, only one person in my household is affected by that, and it’s not me.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
20 minutes it took you to rub my nose in it
Now I really regret being so discrete about my stagewin points.
Second place. The first loser. Bah.
Basking in the anticipation of a VDS windfall…..

Go, Boss Hogg!
Of the closest riders on GC, Bak and Posthuma shouldn’t be a problem. Chavanel is a good enough time-trialist to worry about a bit, but 31 seconds is a lot to take back. Still, he might take the stage.
EBH did say he thinks the course suits him. Fingers crossed for him.

EBH, Chava, Monfort in some order.
Although Lovkvist and Rogers could also be up there…Wiggins if he’s cycled himself into better form this week…
Actually, I have no idea. My predictive powers are missing today. If anyone sees them, give them a hearty smack and send them home, okay?

I expended all mine on Gerro on Sunday
but I’d love something to go right for Rogers :)

He might not be taking it too seriously, I"m afraid.
As I was trying to sneak out of the room @mickrogers said " is it raining" I confirmed this " well I’m not training this morning then" c’mon

When Wiggo dropped back a couple stages ago and took himself out of GC contention...
I assumed he decided to conserve energy and make a go for the win in today’s stage. I think he’ll have a go at it, and his form is good enough for a podium, not sure about a win though.
Traskel has finished.
Time to beat: 18:17

Sounds like a good guess.
If Wurf keeps it up, he’ll finish in the neighborhood of 16, so the elites should knock more off that.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Don't know who Wurf is, but he's killing it at the intermediate

Apparently, he's also a world-class rower.
A cyclist with upper body strength?!? Is this the wave of the future?
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Apparently, they had his intermediate time wrong.
It’s now listed as 7:40, not 7:00.

CTV live now.
Tuft and Martin are on the course.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
CTV saying they don't have start order.
What, they don’t have internet?

Could we be charitable and say
it’s because a number of riders decided not to start? No, probably not.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
and some are starting at a different time
than on the startlist that I have. They just showed Vantomme from Katusha starting, and he should have started about 20 minutes ago.
Maybe their provider promises a lot
But fails to deliver.

Thomas De Gendt of TSV takes first by 5 secs.

They seem to be starting 20 minutes later
than in the startlist at CF.
They delayed the start 20 minutes
because of the rain
by LittleOldLady on Aug 25, 2009 9:12 AM EDT up reply actions
I think they're in the same start order that's posted online, just delayed?
Maybe the rain?

Someone said something on Twitter about a bit of a delay. But I can't remember who or what they said...

But I wasn’t watching that closely at the time.

Everyone's stopped talking.
Perhaps they’ve dozed off?

Embarrassment is a powerful motivator

Yes, but did you notice he had the foresight to pin his number down low?
Unlike Wiggins. Honestly, more crack than you’d see in Amy Winehouse’s handbag.

Thanks, that’s really good. He’s actually quite restrained… though it’d never occurred to me that the chief victims of this sort of thing are the other riders, rather than us lot remotely watching the coverage!
Yes, you'd think they'd be immune
or that through the Riders’ Association they’d have light coloured shorts outlawed.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yes, that's it!
It was on the Rapha blog rather than the Rapha Condor one…so confusing! Tom’s blog posts are lots of fun and always make be laugh. There are lots more on here: http://www.raphacondor.cc/blogs

I think EBH is coldly calculating
that Cav’s presence will hinder his freedom in races and needs to liberate himself from that.
