So, who've called in sick today? 
I haven't, but I'm off early from work due to a medical test (which hopefully won't take too long - I really, really want to get home early to watch the TT). |

I phoned in and delayed my annual review for the WC's - I'll expect the sack on Monday... |

Yes, this is his comeback race.
Oh, and already one funny moment: An African rider was caught by a Finnish rider after just 4 km |

he's not African, he's from St. Kitts & Nevis, thus my cheering in the post above

No surprise there. For some reason, Gutierrez has barely ever ridden any good TTs since 2005

Not a good start by Ericsson, hopefully he can take back some time..
Will be interesting to see Larsson today, it feels like he's in top form, but you never know

I think pretty good, considering he came close to beating Zabriskie at one of the American TT championships (i think it was 2008).
He is a pro tour worthy time triallist |

Didn't he win the prologue in Eneco Tour last year, or something?

My bet for the podium is:
1. Cancellara
2. Wiggins
3. Martin
I think the course suits Martin very well, and he has proven earlier this year that he is one of the best in the world. |

For now
1. Zirbel
2. Moerenhout +24s
3. McCann +54s
Fastest split time for Pinotti, he is now 13 seconds faster than Cornu |

I said "barely ever". I didn't say "ever". My post clearly means that he's had some good results, but barely anything that could be compared to the results he had in time trials before 2006.
