now showing stage 2 recap
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I love the profile....doesn't look bad, until you see the starting and finishing elevations.
The only technical part about it is breathing.
breathing is overrated
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
go Tejay "Balls" Van Garderen
His name is not easy to spell. I had to keep looking at the startlist.
Also, what a relief not find P&P complaints on the thread, even if they aren’t on yet.
tejay - easy
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
just wait, p&p complaints will appear.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
but the P&P complaints complaints
had an early start time
yay, jmac
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
wait and see how jmac finishes. project from there.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
oh look, expected storm surge to avoid the potomac. that's a plus.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
subtract about a minute for best time, which i see that uphill has already done a few posts up
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
tho, the tracker has jmac's time also as 26.23 (in the comments)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
i took the time off the video - when he crossed the line...

and on the left it shows 27.26 too. comment must be wrong

probably just messing with us. see if we're awake or not.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I have to work today.
Will miss a lot. But I Like having food, clothing and shelter so I’ll happily do my job.
10 riders in
and already almost a 4 minute difference between first and last
Anyone know what the timecut is?

captain america on course
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
sigh. words of wisdom from danielson.
“it’s like they took a normal time trial and an uphill time trial”.
really? could never had known that from the profile.
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
been live for over an hour. just switched over to p&p

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."

Please complete the following sentence
“If you took Fabian Cancellera out of the sport…”
andy schleck would be the best TTist?
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
...the name "Fabian" would be still be pronounced "fay-bee-in," and remind us all of a
60’s teen crooner."
…the World Champion TT skinsuit would just look like funny white underwear.
"if you took Fabian Cancellera out of the sport..."
I’d have a screaming, crying hissy fit!!!!
I’m pretty much convinced that you’re all batshit insane there. ~gavia~
Thank you all for taking part.
P&P’s suggestion was “..David Zabrieskie could have become World Champion in the ITT.”
I liked yours better.
So. Stupid.
I mean, truly. If the sport were not what it actually is, then maybe he’d win… Christ!
Frankly,
I thought it was some of their best work. Ever. ;)
If I tilt my head sideways that sign

Ahh OK... then I don't have to take it back.
Though it is an understandable confusion given the start order, so I sorta take it back.
This is what is called 'mountain time' in the US.

…Scotch Whiskey is the key to health, and the reduced lifespan in Scotland is due to vitamin D deficits resulting from a lack of daylight.

unknown...not BMC though, from what he has said
by Vlaanderen90 on Aug 25, 2011 4:39 PM EDT up reply actions
when it comes to BMC, Louder will not have a say in the matter. He will simply
end up on the team like everyone else.
11th on GC
With a good chance to go top 10 after today. Nice exposure for him.
UnitedHealthcare sounds like a good fit to me

I hate Vail
Pay for parking? At a ski resort? No, seriously, f you.
Any dumb f#*k who looked at Garmin’s roster could figure that out, it wasn’t exactly rocket-science. Hell, it wasn’t even lutefisk-science.
by Chris Fontecchio on Aug 25, 2011 5:09 PM EDT reply actions
for the good covered parking, yeah
otherwise just park along this TT route and take the shuttle. Sadly most of the big resorts out here charge for the up close parking. At least at Vail the pay stuff is covered.
OTOH
the land around there is spettacolo. Just behind that little peak looming over Evans is a wonderful little wilderness. OK, not little. About the size of Denmark.

maybe not so good for the sport. Our love of being on camera practically requires fencing the entire course.

Can CVV overcome that kind of jinxing?

Unbelievable
I can understand that the production company does not have a handle on how to broadcast a professional race.
What I can not understand is how their lack of knowledge of the sport and their shameless nationalism has prevented fans from seeing the ride of the rider who is in first place.
Very disappointing….

Sure looked like a tight fit.

Clearly crestfallen
You heart has to go out to him. Clearly left it all on the road. His talent is clear and he will have his day for sure (or many I suspect).

P&P now rapidly rolling back all the PR bullshit
they’ve been shooting off on the first three days about Cadel coming here to compete.
and trying hard to avoid admiting
that Vail is actually a ditch by the side of the highway.

Say what you will about the "town" of Vail...the Back Bowls are just plain fun to ski/snowboard...
which is kind of the whole point of a ski/snowboard resort – IMO. So, who cares about the town if the terrain’s good…IMO

where else can you ski “The Spine?”
Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.
grudgingly admit
Vail is a nice mountain with very good snow. But only because of the back bowls.

Cadel obviously came here to compete ...
… of course, BMC has to find a way to claw back 2:06 on Garmin to take out the Team GC, but everyone else is over 4:00 back. They have quite cleverly worked things out to get their main rivals for the team GC embroiled in a fight with RadioShack for this “individual” GC category, which seems to be one of those “individual rider” categories like KOM and Green Jersey.
Stage 5 is going to be BMC’s no holds barred assault on the Team GC, and Cadel is going to be an integral part of it, mark my words.
Whistler's snow blows.
Vancouver is fantastic, but a real skier wants the quality snow. And, Whistler just doesn’t have it.
I'll have pics up later
I hope I was on TV!! Me and the parents were right behind the finish line, had a German flag kinda hanging on the barriers, raised it in full glory when Jens! came by.
Awesome!
