Tour de Georgia TTT *spoiler*

iainf72

Slipstream 2 seconds faster than Astana and 11 faster than CSC.

Levi was ripping the Astana boys apart uphill and they lost quite a few bods. High Horse left to finish but it looks like the race might be Levi vs Tommy D or Dave Z.

And High Horse finish in 3'rd behind Slipstream and Astana.

Oh, it was all done on conventional bikes.

Aren't the rules "If you beat a known doper, you must be a doper"?

Any particular reason for that? Seems quite odd for a race of this calibre. Not unusual in small races where some of the teams can't afford all the equipment.. but surely that's not the case here.

Oh, and Levi will rip everyone apart on Brasstown Bald.

Don't know why they did it - It was 4 times around a motor racing circuit with some nasty uphill sections. Perhaps it was a tight course and they did it for safety?

Agreed on Levi. But then lets' see if Tommy D is any good when he's not Ferrari powered.

Those "bags of spanners" have done OK today. JV is really gunning for the Giro TTT though.

He is. You'd expect they could do TTT's well with Millar / Z / MB - Tommy D is a good tester too. And he didn't crash into anyone today so that's something!

Good ride by the spanners.
