I have no idea what the sizing is like on the new FOCUS TT frames but it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't fit a stock size all that well being such a small guy...
Anyone got an idea of his time checks? His climb must have been super fast!

totally not-related-to-whats-happening-at-the-Vuelta:
I just learned that Astana is pronounced "Ahsta'nah" or Àstàná. After all these years of hearing the English language commentators pronounce it incorrectly...
Did anyone else know this before? It's new to me!
Do other language commentators pronounce it differently?

And to think all these years I pronounced it Ass-Sta-Nah
Meanwhile you know Gilbert won a stage this year right? curse of the rainbow jersey and all.

I like this thread. I imagine it like one big, massive sports bar (pub) that only shows races on the screens and we're just casually chatting it up about whatever race/pro related that is on our minds at the moment. Occassional good, meaty debates make it lively too. It's fun and it seems like it's going on forever.
Here, have a Lefe on me:

I saw the Pro Challenge stage 6 in person with my daughters two weeks ago now, and I admit it was the first time for me to be a spectator at a pro event. Holy sprockets, it was awesome. Overall there must have been a hundred thousand people out on the course that day, which for northern Colorado really took me by surprise. I'm hooked.
