So, at this point Dennis Van Winden is currently in the lead with a time of 42'04 but there are a lot of very very dangerous riders left to go. Some favorites for the race have to be Marcel Kittel, Jack Bobridge, Partick Gretsch, Tejay Van Garderen and a few more could be thrown in there for the overall win. Should be quite a race with a ton of talent for the future. To the race...

How can we be racing now? I'm still working
Very confusing :(

I know! I've just arrived at work and what is this? A live thread?
So baffling.

Can one watch this anywhere?

We get the women's one on the BBC website this afternoon. Miracle.

I know, me too! I almost fell off my chair in shock.

he looked really impressive all the time,
so smooth…
So the next half hour's coverage
is going to be full of shots of his nipples?
Well I still think Bobridge has the best chance, of all the riders left. He beat Kittel by over 1.5 minutes in a TT in June
but this time will be hard to beat

Bobridge to Garmin and Gretsch to Columbia?
Do I have that right?

Van Garderen seems off the pace today...He beat Gretsch at Avenir but it must be one of those
cases of the stage race TTer vs. the one-day TTer
Just home. Yes.Go Jack!
He must be wearing white shorts. They’re the only ones I can ever pick :)

Silver for Oliveira
7 years after Paulinho Bronze in U23 ITT
and he is a very combative rider...
hope to see the road race!!

Rainbow jersey?
Does Bobridge get to wear a rainbow jersey in pro-tour races next year if he rides in any for Garmin, or only in a designated U23 race?
Women thread up!
