USA Pro Challenge Thread. *SPOILERS*
Quote | Reply
Wow. That is a seriously dangerous break that is at the front!

4 Garmin riders
3 Liquigas riders

And likes of Voigt and Hincape?! This thing has almost too much fire power. I wonder if people won't work because of Danielson and Duggans potential to gain huge time...

Hincapie and Voight have got to be sitting in. Strong showing by Garmin and Liquigas, though.

LOOOOOONGGGG way to go.....and not a super challenging profile.

But the pressure is gonna be on Omega to chase now, since Levi missed the split and everyone else is well represented.

My job blocks anything with "radio" in the link/title

I tried to write the website & left twitter messages about this to no response. I was able to watch the tour of Utah with no trouble

I am watching the Iphone app off of a local Wifi, but my battery is draining


At 4pm eastern I will turn on the British Eurosport 2 feed

I am amazed how many of them are riding mostly on the hoods. I thought I was the only goof to do that.

In stage 2, we have a break and one of the Americans flatted. Bad day at the office for the bike mechanic as he put the front tire in backwards and then needed another mechanic to get the wheel in. Rider did make it back, but not after some few choice words from the rider.

Watching stage 2, at work, on the Radio Shack tour tracker. I love my state! Today's finish is going to be hard, last three miles uphill. The climb up to Beaver Creek in stage 4, while shorter is probably steeper.

Was about 1200 meters from the finish line today. What a great show - especially with 2 little boys who love motorcycles and police cars - and then throw in a 100 or so bikes!!

Try going to www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com and see if you can get the live stream. It may be the radio shack feed - but it may be different. Worth a shot for tomorrow and the next couple of days...

I was there also with my 17 year old son at the 150 m flag.

Although he has little interest in bike racing he got caught up in the energy from the crowd.

It was a lot of fun.

power files for Tejay and Jani are up


http://home.trainingpeaks.com/...cling-challenge.aspx


apparently Tejay has a FTP of 5.3w/kg and Brajkovic is at 5.5 w/kg. I don't buy that for a second

actually, come to think of it, they probably factored in altitude as that probably eats away 10% of FTP. Brajkovic was listed as 6.0w/kg for the TdF.

I really like the format of the RS Tour Tracker. I am going to check out more of the pops and whistles today, but I hope it catches on. Would maybe work well for triathlon...select-a-feed for your favorite athlete male or female, or the primary feed with the talking heads, data/telemetry on them and the competition. Neat!

Keep in mind Telluride sits at ~8700 feet. W/kg numbers are going to look somewhat pedestrian at that elevation.

Yeah that Radio Shack tracker is nice. Watching the climb up cottonwood pass, all dirt going up. Can't wait for the climb up Independence pass later in the day.

except it's Tommy D, who has a propensity for getting into trouble when no trouble is on the horizon. 1:45 with 16miles to go, this may come back together

I don't think Danielson holds on at this point.....1' w/ 8 miles.

Good ride by Tommy D. Once again he shows a flash of brilliance.

And once again Radio Shack shows what a rudderless ship they are this year. 5 guys in the chase group and they don't help until the last 200m to bring back ONE guy. My friend Lucas (SpiderTech) attacked on Independence and then spent more time on the front at the finish than all of them combined. Hope they enjoyed the views because that was pathetic racing.

ST's man crush is killing it today and is actually building his lead and no comments on it yet?

Weak, ST, weak.

Jens has about 40 mins of racing left to go, with 5:10ish lead with 29km to go. He's broken away essentially from the start, and the peloton has all but let him have the stage as they sat up and gave him 1:20+ more time back as they dwindled it down to 3:30 as shortest time gap.

From Boulder:

Awesome for Southerland. 440 watts for 15 minutes up Flagstaff. What a ride.

I was up there and not knowing who was in the break and here comes Jens up the hill in 3rd. Wow. He was deeply locked in the hurt. Just crazy suffering. What a bike rider.

The pride of podunky Virginia, young Joe D. Our boy gives them hell.

Levi just rode away from them. That was an epic effort to take yellow.

Good on Vandevelde.

Indeed.

Teejay is a more complete rider than Joe right now, witness today's tt. Joe whacks him on the climbs but he also has not ridden with any pressure yet. Teejay had BMC up front all day yesterday and pressure to protect yellow. Joe has zero to lose and stays up frontish and goes on the end game climbs. Smart and tough kid. A great GC hope.

Nice to see young guns coming up in a clean(er) environment. US cycling is developing nicely.
