TdF Stage 7 TT - What will happen?

[fasteryet]

I'm really hoping George will win, but I have a suspicion that Floyd will be right there, too. He's been taking it real easy and being very cautious, and I don't think he'll be late again for the start.

Here are the top 5 from the previous 2 yrs.

2004 stg 19 was an 55K ind TT and the times I still have were:

• 1 Armstrong 1:06:49
• 2 Ulrich +1m 01s
• 3 Kloden +1m 27s
• 4 Landis +2m 25s
• 5 Julich +2m 48s

2005 stg 20 was a 55.5K ind TT with:

• 1 Armstrong 1:11:46
• 2 Ulrich + 22sec
• 3 Vino +1m 16s
• 4 Julich +1m 33s
• 5 Basso +1m 55s

I'm thinking Floyd should make sure his bike is all together and really cork one.

The same goes for Julich. Unless Kloden has a great day... or Zabriskie.

Landis, Kloden and Julich are the remaining top 5 guys from both tours with a slightly longer TT. We might get a nic surprise and see who will dominate for the coming weeks.

Thanks for the stats, Spazz. I am thinking Floyd. Julich could pull it off, though. He's making comments about how the TT will give CSC a leader, etc. How cool would that be??

Gooooo Bobby ! Restore my faith in CSC ! Hallelujah baby !

I'll be sporting my trusty CSC cap on Saturday morning.

Yeah, he's doomed.

Don't worry Bobby J lovers, I'm sneaking over to jobob's house tonight to steal the CSC cap. The kiss of death will not strike..........

I'll be rooting for either Dumb or Dumber (Floyd or Dave Z). Floyd because he's gotta make his move at some point, and the TT would be a dramatic time to do it. Dave Z because, well, just because he's "the most aerodynamic man in the peloton" and it's a beautiful thing to watch him pedal.
