The time trial omens thread

I'm supporting Cadel and I've just burnt my breakfast toast.

This does not bode well.

Cadel is guaranteed victory due to the 'third time lucky' rule.

When interviewed by Matt Rendell after yesterday,playing down his chances, he said "I've been in this position twice before and it hasn't worked out well so far" (paraphrasing btw).

Also, there are always repeating patterns in numbers and there is potentially an interesting one today.
Cadel to beat AS by 58 seconds in the TT, the same margin between Lemond and Fignon in '89. Cadel wins by 1 second.
The beauty of Cadel winning by less than 3 seconds is that his first stage attack has then played a significant role in his victory.
Can't quite remember, but weren't BMC 1 second ahead of Leopard in TTT?

I'm supporting Andy but my brother has gone to work and won't be here to help me cheer him on.

On my ride this morning, a black cat crossed my path. This is obviously a good omen for Cadel.











Not so good for the cat mind as I ran over it's tail.
