Let’s be honest, no matter what happened today, if either pro cyclist had the fastest split someone would have had an excuse why it proves nothing.
True.
"but we don’t know how bad Norman would smoke him "
PLEEEAAAZZZZE stop. It’s gotta be a dead issue after today.
I assume you were kidding?
Completely. I thought it was retarded when it was first brought up.
he was out 9min back and was 11min back at mile 12.
2min in 12miles…
“Bjorn’s aerobars came loose 10 miles into the bike and if the live updates are correct he had actually put time into Tyler at that point”
Check it again Jaylew. It seems to me that Bjorn was losing time throught the first report from Slowman:
"We’re 12 miles into the bike and the overall race time for Tyler’s team is 1:15:05. Behind him @2:35 is a Colombian cyclist, more on him later. But it looks like he’s dropped that 2 minutes and change just over the first 12 miles. Eric Bean is @3 minutes flat, so he looks to be keeping close with second place.
Bjorn has come through at 1:26 flat, so he’s also losing a bit of time to Tyler Hamilton in the early going."
Stupid to even suggest, but I would not have bet against Stadler on ther hog…
Would you give a chance to Lessing or Macca against Bekele in a marathon? (knowing that Bekele has never run an official marathon afaik)
I guess just conflicting reports. From the official race coverage site:
9:39 AM Hamilton
at the first time check at 15 miles has a 3 minute advantage over Dario and Bean, who are riding within 6 seconds of eachother. Bjorn Andersson is a further 7 minutes back.

Looking a little closer, according to this coverage they ran virtually neck and neck through 15 miles
your assumption is correct.
No way! However, I would give Ann Trason the odds over Paula Radcliff if they were to race the Western States 100.
holy crap…i’d say he’s on form again.
Yeah, he’s probably on ‘something’ again…
Personally, couldn’t give a damn - cheat.
That´s it. I could care less what the roadies do. It´s just too hard to know what is going on.
With this specific roady… oh well, so much has been said already.
I would prefer if they stayed on their side of the fence and played by their rules and leave triathlon alone.
Just my opinion.
