Stage 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.)

The first rider just left the star house. Low res video with commentary is up. High resolution video with Universal Sports commentary scheduled to start at 1:00PM Pacific Time.

Hi ZR, Figuehead. How goes it.

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.

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!

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.
