US Pro championships

Wow!! Taylor Phinney just beat Levi in the US time trial championship by 4/100 of a second!! Amazing. He has a great future ahead of him.

I wonder if these races will be on TV. Road race is tomorrow.

I was at the time trial just now. Levi did not look very happy. Taylor was so excited, its amazing how good he is and he's only 20 years old!

Levi actually lost by .14 seconds. That's like.... a gust of wind. Poor Levi, rough season for him.

The course they were on is relatively flat. has a wicked u-turn turnaround. It was in the sun the entire time, and it's usually really windy. As my bf and i were walking to the finish line the wind wasn't too bad, but it picked up as the afternoon went on.

I'm excited to watch the Road race tomorrow! It was really fun to watch last year, too! Unfortunately i can't take pictures and share with you all because my camera no longer has the ability to change settings. It's stuck on portrait from now on. So, no action shots.

BTW I just realized I should have put a spoiler warning in the subject line for this thread. Sorry!

I had a hunch that Taylor Phinney would win. Especially when I read the the course was flat. I think it would have been Levi if there was any climbing.

I like George, but he's worn the stars and bars several times. Time for someone else.

I'd be thrilled if it was one of the guys from Bissell (Ben, Andy, or Paul) or Chris Horner.

I just can't see Chris Horner winning since he's never ridden the course and was still in California on Saturday.

Wow - anyone "watching" the live reports from the road race? Amazing!
