Solvang TT--Stage 5 (Spoilers??)
Rock Racing got their skinsuits and TT bikes in time for today's stage.
Early riders are out in semi-dry conditions, but it looks like the skies might open up again.
This isn't exactly a flat stage--lots of folks standing while going up the hills.
Dave Z ftw!

i've ridden the course numerous times and suffice to say there are definitely some hilly sections. when my dad first told me the proposed route this year i told him they were nuts if they put in that first climb/descent... you make the first left and then its up up and up before making a very steep descent into a 90 degree right

They just had Jackson Stewart for an interview in the commentator booth. Nice to hear some insight into his suffering.

Cancellara looks very shifty on his saddle... keeps nudging himself backwards.
