Might give a little insight into why David Millar elected to skip out on the TT World Championships this year, despite taking a TT win the Vuelta just a few days ago. This, combined with the homefield advantage, has got to make Cancellara the favorite for this weekend as well.

Speaking of, Team USA’s Tom Zirbel put in a great ride for 4th—not bad for a guy who’s never been to Europe. Don’t forget you can still win a free T-shirt by picking the place of the top US Men’s Elite finisher on Sunday! Contest entry period closes Saturday at 6pm EDT (That’s US East Coast time).
Man, this guy is just awesome. It was almost amazing to read how the pundents that had written him off in June because he had such a bad spring. I think TdF preview in CycleSport had just about referred to him as rubbish. Go Spartacus!!
