    Poor Mr Martin and his puncture.

    Oh well.

    Great ride by Holy David.

    Amazing. 4 wins.

    He looks unbelievably good on a TT bike.

    Brilliant ride from Chinny but hats off to Mr Millar well done.

    I feel about Cancelara the same way FF feels about Bertie. Even if it wasn't as dominant a performance as last year - still great to watch.


    Now would love to see him win the RR - that would be something very special.

    Two races in and we have a gold and a silver! Not bad since we only had the two riders.

    Cancellara clubs the field, again.

    Impressive ride by Tony Martin - had it not been for the tire puncture he may have overtaken Millar for 2nd.

    Isnt he Norway's TT champ?

    Not a lot of good TT riders in Norway. Tour of Oman TT was only 11 miles long but yes he beat Cancelara.

    He's still not known for his TT skills. I'm sure he's keeping his powder dry for the RR where he has a much better chance. Doubt he would have cracked the top 10 in the TT.

    Argh yes that would make sense. Looks like a good course for him too..

    :?: Boasson Hagen is very much known for his TT skills, both over shorter and longer distances. He is a very good TT-ist, 3rd at the Dauphine's long TT this year for instance.
    Still, he'll have opted out of the TT to focus on the road.

    Like to say congrats to Koos Moerenhout as well in getting 6th. Good way to bring the curtain down on his career.

    Phinney had about 44 km/h average over a shorter course compared to Cancellara's 47km/h.

    Both speeds show the difficulty of the course.

    I suppose it's quite possible that both the mens & womens TT champions could do the double and bag their respective road races at the weekend as well...
