tomorrow: altitutude gain ~ 600 meters => 1:04 GC gap : 1:57

P.S. this neglects factors which are probably in Nozal's favor. Shallow grade + increased influence of wind resistance when riders are riding alone + increased anaerobic component in a short time trial. So Nozal appears safe.
I would disagree with this for the simple reason that Nozal looks cooked

I'm going to reach and pick Heras.
Another time when the pressure of being the leader has gradually eaten away at a rider: Casagrande, in the Giro, losing it bigtime in the uphill TT. To me, this has a similar feel.

Yeah, out of the zillions of possibilities, who would have thought that even a genius savant like you could have predicted that an inexperienced rider would panic on a course ill-suited for him the day after his DS got thrown off the Tour because he was so freaked out about how close things were turning out?
When other people point our your strengths, you should be flattered. When you have to do it yourself, maybe you are a little low on impressive attributes.

Dumbass -
I am completely devoid of impressive attributes.
You must be too, to have to sink to this level.

Oh. OK. I thought that was justified considering the subject line and anyway, you are the one that said it. I simply advised you do let others point out your "genius". I guess my compulsion is not so bad in that regard, all things considered. Let's face it, you are the one that slags people all day every day.
