I had switch computers to get it to load.
Did I see correctly that they are releasing like 5 guys then waiting 48 minutes to release the next 5 guys. This is going to take forever.

Great link.. how long will it be until Levi storms out the gate, though?
edit by the way: the crowd's chant of "ga yau" literally translates to "more gas!". Kind of like "Allez!" or "Go! Go! Go!"

It is the same loop at the one at the end of the road race. They were saying it was a pretty hard road race and Kristen Armstrong was saying it was pretty unconventional ITT. The men get 2 laps the women only did one. It is weird that it is so quiet watching it.

I'm kinda hoping that Cancellara has a better showing than he did in the TdF TTs. Who knows when he will start though.

Zabriskie is in 9 seconds down in 4th place at the first time check, with about 2/3 of the riders on the course.

One thing about Cancellara is that of the 4 people who beat him in the first TdF TT, only Millar even competed against him at the Worlds (placed 18th). If Schumacher is competing, I would expect him to win.

I want Cancellara to win, and i think he might be able too. other than that schumacher will win. i love those cerevelo bikes though. maybe the cool looking bike will help him.

Haha, I know, it had me confused for a second. I was like, he's on Rock Racing and Columbia? Oh... Colombia.
