The time trial today went pretty much as I expected. Floyd Landis won, with David Zabriskie not too far off. The big surprise, at least for me, was how well Tom Danielson did. Floyd only beat him by 4 seconds. Last year Floyd beat Tom by over a minute and it was only on the slopes of Brasstown that Tom was able to make up the deficit to win the race.
With time trialing skills and amazing climbing skills, I’ll have to put Tom D as the favorite to win this race. With that combination of skill, he’s going to be a contender in the Grand Tours, no doubt.
