45 minutes to go and a quick update from Hector Fernandez.

It is hotter than yesterday and both the Americans and the Canadians are sporting cooling vests.

The trainer is set up! Nothing like a little motivation to get the legs spinning.

GO SIMON!

Totally confused here in Pittsburgh. Two different parts of the NBC website say conflicting things as to when the men's gig is going to be shown on TV. One section says tonight at 10 pm, another says tomorrow morning. Also, there has been no mention of it as "coming up" on the live broadcast so far. What gives?

Haha...I was thinking of you poor bastards down there last nite during the womens race. Up here CBC showed almost the whole thing live and when I flicked over to NBC from time to time all I ever saw was gymnastics. Hope you see it live tonite

Ha ha...No doubt!
However, I'm hoping for a little closer of a race than that that happened between Snowsill and Fernandez yesterday.....Nothing like an all out grimacing hammer fest on the run after a draft legal mini Tour de France.. ;-)

Goooo Simon!!! :-)

Whooot!

Who do you guys think gets an edge with hotter conditions? I read Whitfield's blogs about their heat training sessions... didn't look fun, but maybe it'll pay off.
