Garmin drives me nuts. They should just shut up about their time trialing abilities until they actually win one. |

Haha!
"There was one minor glitch, however. It seems that Nike was optimistic that Cavendish would be in the leader’s jersey during this Vuelta and had some special shoes made to match its color.
The problem is that someone didn’t realize that the Vuelta had decided to change its leader’s jersey from gold to red at the end of last year’s Vuelta. Cavendish might be wearing some gold-colored cleats tomorrow, at least until a new pair of red shoes can be shipped." |

What they only had two exceptional TTers. Vande Velde is probably a little injured still (unless he lied in that interview) and Dean dropped off very early (if the EuroSport commentators where correct).
I've only watched 4 TTT's before but this course looked a little different than the others I saw. This course was a lot narrower and much more technical from the others.
You are right though, I thought they would have won the TTT.  |

That is what you get when you no longer do anything in cycling except make a pair of shoes for 10-15 pros a year. |

Lars Petter Nordhaug will probably go with the break to try getting the mountain jersey. |

Team Saxo Bank got degraded to 4th in the ttt beacause their fifth rider crossed the line 2 seconds later than originaly thought. This means Cervelo was 3rd yesterday |

Buffaz out, broken collarbone
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

yes! The vuelta highway use continues. 65 editions, but this never fails to create exciting runs into the finish. *sigh*
