Slightly disappointing, being beaten by CCC and Champion System was not really necessary.

The negative split tactic works for Team Sky!
For those keeping tabs that must be the first TTT in which Cancellara has finished with the rest of the team.
Seems the relegation fight is very much still on, would be great if it went down to the last race of the season.
Liked the report, a great combo of writing and pictures made it pretty exciting. Can we expect more words like phalanx in the RR? |

It was always set that Sky would be too strong for our team but the second place is the first medal for our team with more hopefully to come!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Great report and exceptional result for Euskaltel!
Who would have though: Euskaltel - Euskadi the 10th best TT-team in the world 
They really deserve to stay up...

A few deja vu moments when reading the report
Quite an exciting TTT, looking forward to the rest of the races!
Didn't really think of this until now, but the WC TTT should count for the rankings. I'm thinking of giving it the Paris-Tours ranking (.4, highest CT rating).
I might be slightly biased, but I think it should give a lot of points
.3 as the lowest WT-races wouldn't be wrong either in my opinion as (almost) all the big teams are here, which can't be said about all the CT-teams.

Well, in general it will give active teams a boost over non-active teams, which I consider a good thing.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Happy with Lampre finishing in 12th place considering we never expected to do anything here anyway |

More anti-BMC cheating from the UCI here as well? Just when you think you're safe...

Well I never really expected much but we were quite close to a top 10. Hopefully I can bring in some time triallist in. |

Some might say that the course suit Rui Costa, too
I won't be offended when Valverde gets his podium behind a winning Costa.

Always complaining
But yeah losing a medal by less than a second must be extremely frustrating.

Diego Johnson takes a bronze medal in his 1st World Championships, stunning! Disappointed that Colombia were last hopefully next year with the new signings we may be 2nd last.

Right, because Astana is clean as a whistle. 
Here's the previous TTT result of the original report, which is not valid because of the missing teams that were sorta kicked out of the race due to the flawed Giro variant. Dippo, please don't be mad.

I know that they are also doping but the guys in my TTT team were:
Nibali(much more cleaner than Froomebot)
Johnson(Custom Rider)
Grivko(Probably doped)
Fuglsang(Probably clean)
Brajkovic(Probably doped)
kessiakoff(probably clean)
And I forgot to select Kangert(probably clean) instead of Brajkovic the doper so my team looked much more doped in this TTT and Kangert is better than Brajkovic TT in this DB
