I don't think Andy Schleck is a bad time trialist... but he's not a great one either. He's ahead of guys like Ricco and Di Luca. Probably the equivalent of a Devolder or Cunego at least. |

You can't compare him to Ricco, currently Ricco is in about 90th

It still looks as though Schumacher's time is an awesomely good time and the only man in with a shout of getting close is Millar. Hopefully Millar can step it up a bit
If not, then it's purely because it's a great time from Schumacher.

Kirchen has surely gone too fast, that's an impossible result for for him and Millar to be in the same conditions and Kirchen be ahead.
Well I hope

Well, DeVolder is probably a bit better... but not as much as many think. I may be underrating Devolder's TT ability... but I'm not sure a win in a ITT in the Tour of Belgium is much better than a win in the Luxembourg ITT national championships.
All I was trying to say is Schleck is an average TT... not a horrible one like Ricco or Di Luca. |
