2013 Pro-cycling season thread

Andy, did you take the day off to watch the time trial? If so, that is impressive dedication.

The fact that you pose this question makes me question my behaviour!

I left my previous employer on Friday and start at my new employer on October 1st so have this week off.

Ah - nice timing for a week off.

good weather and the worlds on telly. Nice work Andy :)

Ooof... 0.81s in the TTT means my Evil Sky vs. Awesome GreenEdge bet is level pegging with only Lombardie and Tour of Somewhere in Asia to go. Close, damn close!

Is the ITT on telly or is the BBC's genius plan to let it all happen ans then make us watch a highlights package at the weekend when we know all the results?

Coverage: From 12:15 on Red Button and BBC Sport website (UK only), from 13:40 to 16:10 on BBC Two; Live text commentary online

^ Where's the text commentary to be found then? BBC website? Am hoping that cyclingnews will have one if not

is the bbc website coverage working for anyone ?

Working fine here

sorted - was following a duff link

Yeah, working for me. Do they make the current leader sit in the hot seat like at GTs?

Even by TT standards, this course seems extremely dull.

Yeah, working for me. Do they make the current leader sit in the hot seat like at GTs?

yes

Obligatory hopeless commentator comment.

Hopeless commentator: Gusev got round the Vuelta and finished 62nd...
Exasperated Boardman: He's a team rider of course.

bbc website, what are you doing, whats the link? i keep going round in circles

ty !

Wiggins and Phinney on the course.

Cancellara *looks * fast.

Phinney's TT extensions seem really high up compared to the Wiggo, Canc and Martin. Game on, here we go.

Cancellara *looks * fast.

Ha!

Could probably have done without the see through shorts from Canc.

Ha!

Cancellara looks like his suit is mighty thin over the buttocks.

Canc set off too fast I think. Wiggo doing the climb on the extensions. Like a boss.

Martin descending like a boss
