He's not a good TT rider, and lost a combined 13 minutes between the individual and team TTs.

But he survived the day. You have to learn to survive the TDF before you win it. He was never a realistic competitor for the podium. You have to be able to beat the clock. But he was a revelation of the tour. He won the KOM jersey and he held off all of the attacks of the others. There should be a jersey for "Classy rider status."mareblu said:Whatever he had it must have felt like a curse!!!!!

I suspect it had a lot more to do with Rasmussen's state of mind than with the team mechanics and the bikes.supergrill said:Yeah, he screwed up to start it all, but it got ridiculous after that. I wonder if a couple of the team mechanics will still have jobs when they wake up Sunday; or will be hitchiking their way back to the lowlands. Kudos to him for just not heaving the bike off into the roadside shrubbery and walking away!!
