Good for Tyler. This one's for Tugboat.

I was hoping Michael Rich would end up on the podium.

I cheered out loud at my desk when I saw the story on Velonews.com! I didn't think he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning. I'm glad he proved me wrong. Go Tyler!

Well, with two Americans on the podium maybe those morons at NBC will actually show some decent clips of the TT tonight.

I bet if you tune into watch the NBC Today Show. They will have a few clips of them from the race and hopefully an interview with Katie.(sp?)

Actually, I got 31.1 mph [50.05 Km/h], If I got MY math right.
Fassst...

Lance won the 55Km Besancon ITT @ 30.7 Mph.

LeMond averaged 34 mph in his famous '89 TT.

Of course it was only a 24K course.

I'm trying to remember the final speed of one of the TTs that Indurain pulled off in the TDF.

i'm trying to find that too. in my tour de france 100 year celebration book, i seem to remember 37 mph. i might be wrong about that though. whatever speed it was i remember it had an exclaimation point next to it. i'll look it up when i get home.

Congrats to Tyler, Eki, and Julich. All incredible performances - especially Eki.

They deserved it.

I don't want to miss this, but I'm bored with swimming and kayaking.

If someone is monitoring nbc please post when the cycling starts tonight.

Thanks!

They claim they'll do a longer replay of it on MSNBC. Problem is, they have 2 segments they're advertising on MSNBC for tonight- the first one starts at 1am, which is actually Thursday morning, and the other one starts at 4am. So I guess they expect us to stay up all night waiting for a 10 minute recap?

You can say that again! Costas said extended coverage later "tonight" on MSNBC. Well, I checked and their coverage starts at 1am and goes until 5am... sheesh!

Does it even say at what point they'll do the recap exactly within that time period? I'm checking the schedules to see, because there's no way I'm gonna sit up there and watch tv all night, then go to work in the morning.

I'm getting Tivo. This is getting ridiculous.

I'm guessing more people in the US ride and are interested in cycling as opposed to the pommel horse. That was a ridiculously short spot for the TT. They give more coverage time to one 200m swimming race than to a 30km TT.

They sure did do the whole equestrian event, though. I watched it for a while looking for the cycling coverage. I am such a sucker!
