Nice to see the competitors are taking a break. :)

It's back. Unfortunately, Michellie is still in the booth. I was hoping they were pausing the feed while they pulled her out...

Yep

And she's constantly speaking on top of Matt.

please get this lady off the feed. She is killing me.

Luke McKenzie is coached by Matt Dixon right?

Other aussie luke...

anyone else impressed with McKenzie? i've always thought that he had talent but he was always seemed snakebit. now he's really driving this effort.

good on him.

So what was it that Leito said to Crowie when they passed each other?? I;m guessing that he told him to stay in line, especially if you are never going to pull. Kind of bad form for Crowie to pass Chris and never take a real pull..My guess anyway.

And have to say that this is the best position I have ever seen out of Crowie. New bike fits him well..

that new shiv is wotking 4 crowie ;-)

He's been hoping for a top 10 the last couple years, saying top 5 if he had an amazing day...well, today could be that day. Hopefully he'll hold a sub 2:55...maybe 2:50?

He went to shorter cranks I heard- 167.5 mm. Interesting.

Opens up the angle between torso and femur at the top of the pedal stroke. Did Dan do that? Nice.

Vanhoenacker has a lot of white on his shorts...

I wonder if he is using a sodium supplement to put that back?

Anyone know how O' Donnell is doing?

He'll have to go 4:30ish with a sub 2:40 to break 8:04 I think...
