Actually, it is LEGAL. It may be against the rules of a TT, but it is certainly legal.

Kohl just fell off the starters stand (pre-start). That can't be helpful to his cause.

He's got a relatively slow cadence which always looks slow. However, he very well may be slow also.

I don't seem to get why the VS. commentators don't understand negative splitting in TT's. They make such a huge deal about the first time check, but have never mentioned that concept which is pretty big in the TT world from my understanding...

That would be totally sweet if he did!

Btw, cyclingfans.com has a start time list up. Depending on where you live, 10am might be too late.

VdV is currently 3:52 up on Schleck after timecheck 2.

He was just joking about actual legality (like, laws, courts, judges, that sort of thing) versus just breaking the rules of a race. Was just a little quip about using the word "legal" in a game context.

Er, you probably caught that, but just explaining if you didn't.

Oh, and go go Sastre!!
