He was injured a lot of the year and couldn't validate

The Lieto brothers are very good. Just keep them for the long haul

+1

Long term Achilles injury...plans to be back next year. Hope so.

Did they show him passing the group he just passed?

Don't blow up on the run!

Not sure but Chris got the sporting talent and it appears Matt got the good looks / hair....

IIRC the power numbers are used post race by the coaches to analyze and not viewed during the race by Macca.

Agreed, at least they have some sort of charisma and first-hand knowledge. The bloke who was commentating with Chrissie was a tad irritating.

Scott has to be very happy today.

Luke McKenzie leading early, Vanhoenacker now, and Kienle coming up to him

Looks like the sleeves are textured (aero trips?) just like Tony Martin's BioRacer one from the TT Worlds.

Ribs visible through his skinsuit FFS!

The new MyAthlete Live app has been rolled out as well - https://itunes.apple.com/...-tracker/id552369174.

Macca will chase them down in the run.

How is that possible that he can tweet?..

Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

A new high in multi-tasking. Plan your race, tweet your plan.

Telepathy.

Andreas Raelert?

Agreed. After watching the Lieto's both do coverage this year and last year, it's quite apparent that they take announcing seriously and they enjoy it. I've heard that at Matt Lieto has taken public speaking/broadcasting classes and the effort shows in his improvement this year compared to last year. It seems that since WTC is doing this in house they're pretty thin on announcing talent. So at times a "strong" analyst/color commentator is matched up with someone that sucks to compensate.

Terenzo yells his tweat's at his girlfriend / father as he goes by & they use his phone. Maybe Rapp did the same?

I like watching Kienle on the bike - he looks aero, yet comfortable and powerful.

Kienle looks very powerful on the bike...the uber-biker label is very believable.
