Tomalaris on Roberts...

talkin about setting up a Roberts and Michael Rogers timetrial showdown, he said "in what would be a timetrial promoter's dream" What the folk is he talking about. What, GP Eddy Merckx, what was, GP des Nations... there are no timetrial promoters. Even if he was talking about the Commonwealth games team, Rogers said he is not riding the Commonwealth games.

Since when was Roberts a timetrialler. I think he will be more of a sprinter in a reduced bunch, breakaway stage hunter than a prologue rider. He has never really proven he will be successful in the long timetrials on the continent. He had a brilliant Tour timetrial finishing 17th in the 55 km timetrial stage 19. But his prologue results in the other 2005 races were underwhelming for a pursuit silver medallist in the world championship. The extra distance seems to put him just outside the top 10 in those stages.
