PrintStage Five – Sedalia, Time Trial, 30.5 km
A time trial for the purists awaits in Sedalia. This is what time trialing is all about, flat, fast, and wide open. A collection of the best time trialists in the world go full throttle from start to finish on the Missouri State Fair grounds in Sedalia. (Or bring your bike and cruise the Katy Trail, which offers three great viewing points of the course in a five-mile stretch.)

I didn't get their names
But there are two guys commenting already now.
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.
Frischkorn just passed his 1-minute guy
Liquigas’ Vanotti (who rides his road bike). Most interesting thing so far.

I thought the reason for Liquigas coming to Missouri was because they ride Canondales.
If that was true then you’d think they could set them up with some TT bikes as it’s a logistical nightmare to get all that equipment across the pond.
The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.
Rory just put up a pic of Vandborg warming up
He’s got a TT bike.

Jens! had a titanium plate put in his cheek because the bone was crushed
from the crash at the Tour.
so he...
thanks ZoeRochelle for flying the ToM flag and keeping everyone up-to-date over the past few days!
LOL. Ha! I didn't think of that. We always knew that about Jens! but now its confirmed.
And your welcome. I’ve enjoyed keeping the TOM on the radar around here.
popped in just in time
to hear someone (?) talking about george!
George bunny-hopped my bike somehow. He's like a cat. -- cvv
They might be hard to come by after he changes teams, of course if the new kit is better it'll be worth the wait.

I'm trying to sort out some paperwork
So I’m not paying that much attention at the moment. Any info on intermediates?

there's a person in the live chat on the tracker who gives updates on video and such
infusion1 is the username. He just said he’s resetting the video buffer to help with it.
with 6 riders in:
1. Matthew Rice 40.46
Francois Parisie
Charly Vives
Francesco Chicchi
Will Frischkorn
If Dave Z wins should I prepare for the apocalypse?
Two garmin wins in one day is enough pure evil to make rivers flow backwards
However, I think the Garmin U23 team got second in the TTT at Univest today
So that should return everything to normal.
Here we go:
1 Bernard Van Ulden (Jelly Belly) 0:39:24
2 Jurgen Van De Walle (Quick Step) 0:39:45
3 Matthew Rice (Jelly Belly) 0:40:46
4 Francois Parisien (Planet Energy) 0:42:00
5 William Frischkorn (Garmin-Slipstream) 0:42:15
Tweet from Nikki
VIP car just hit Colavita rider coming into turn to finish.
Must have been Borrajo who got hit.

That was the money question of the day.
Finally found an evening to come by and read up here. We were all standing there and he got run into the fence pole. Pretty bad. Luckily he seemed to be okay but I heard later his bike was done. That wasn’t that far from the finish and he might not have noticed with no momentum at that point.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
At least Borrajo reached the finish
+7.29 at the moment

It is much more cofortable than death-gripping the bars...
He also might have a pad on the end of the bars too because of the electric shifting

From CN:
Zabriskie is like Pacman – chomping down on the previous starters as he speeds down this arrow-straight road.
Heh.
Jesh what is up with Bissell...talk about Garmin having good time-triallers
They have 4 in the top 5 currently
Yay for Bissell, they've been a damn good
sponsor in US cycling for a long time (relatively speaking.)
No
He was 4 tenths of a second off ;)

Zirbel is the studio with Frankie & Paul. He is so cute.
Ted? Screen cap? I can’t. Im not on my home computer.
How hard is it to have graphics that show the time of the current rider?
American cycling coverage..sigh
"On a personal level, I have never had admiration for him and I never will"

Such low expectations
I know cycling isn’t big in America, but this country is now showing football games in 3d!

It's on the right on the tour tracker.

george is going well...he caught Seeldrayers...
Though that isn’t saying much because he isn’t a good TTer
It's not the ToC
"On a personal level, I have never had admiration for him and I never will"
~AC about LA, me about Johan "drama queen" Bruyneel
True, not a bad ride
although he did win the Castilla Leon TT in his first race back after his ToC injury.

The BCS is not the BTTS

Which means he won't be the BGCS anytime soon

Doesn't matter about the time so much as the utter incompetence of those morons. Too much fucknuttery!

They have to enter the State Fair grounds,
through the parking lot, into the stadium area, the announcers said….
He can't get ride of BCS, that can't be a good sign
"On a personal level, I have never had admiration for him and I never will"

Zabriskie I think was 20 seconds off the leaders at the start. It'll be interesting to see how much of his time he still has.

He said that Astana has "almost 28 riders.."
so do they have a half of a rider?

Lance Armstrong's twitter accounts for only .75 of a rider

Max Armstrong was the first rider signed by Radio Shack but never raced for Astana

Eh?
Astana has “almost” 28 riders. What does that mean? 27.7 riders?

a man of few words...
I know he doesn’t like doing a lot of interviews, especially the post-race stuff

frankie sounding a bit ridiculous...
so dz, were you happy cvv broke his hand?

Mistaking the team chemistry of Garmin with that of Astana

How can you possibly get that wrong?
if you haven’t heard " Contador is a a fucking moron on the road" yet, it can’t be Phil.

Zabriskie paid a heavy price for not wearing his team kit to the podium presentation. Apparently, it was left on the team bus – which left right after the race.

And is willing to show it in public.

The list at the right has Cataldo at more than 3 minutes behind
So I don’t know why they’ve got him in 6th place now.

Zirbel, "the young rider from Bissel" ...?
They just interviewed him where he said that he was surprised to get a first shot at the ProTour at 31 :)
Quiet!
31 is young!

In his case: "It sounds like talking, but it’s just words that comes out"
Thanks again everyone for the updates and screencaps!
OK Missouri, What The Fuck..
is up with your people and their race vehicles? All I can think of is DUH! I know they will use anyone who will volunteer to drive VIP cars, but race motos Interfering? Twice? WTF? REALLY? If it isn’t discussed here or elsewhere, a VIP car put Anibal Barrajo in the grass with a broken wheel and two race motos, stopped Gustav Larssen by blocking the inside of a corner. Twice. cyclingnerws.com

Confusion In The Final Kilometer
You can bet they won’t use the same start/finish roads that they did today if this race (and the Tour of Missouri itself) return in 2010. Waaaaay too narrow roads for the final two kilometers, when the chances of riders passing others is the greatest.
Also, every driver on the course was supposed to be a UCI license holder. I’m not so sure that was the case.

I can't believe I'm saying this...
But I really missed Branson!

Way after the fact...
but here’s some pics from Stage 5.

Oh... and I'm really happy
only a few here have met me in person. Turns out I apparently spent a lot of time on the big screen at the race with the spot I found and liked. Ha!

Bad hair day?
Itchy nose which might have looked like picking on the screen? Washing machine disaster, leaving the only clean clothes in the house that Wonder Woman costume you had rented for a fancy dress party the next night?
