New Georgia time trial, similar Landis outcome
Landis rockets down descent for ITT win
By Mark Zalewski, North American Editor with Kirsten Robbins in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Floyd Landis (Phonak) has won another time trial on American soil in 2006, beating Discovery Channel's Tom Danielson and CSC's Dave Zabriskie in a tough time trial to take the leader's jersey four seconds ahead of Danielson. Landis repeated his performance from last year's stage three time trial, but over a much harder course -- 10 kilometers longer and with more climbing and descending. "Last year had a difficult climb also but what made the difference was the length," Landis said. "A 35 minute time trial is completely different than a time trial that is 55 minutes. The best thing to do is pace yourself."
Danielson also commented on the difficulty of the course, and followed the same pacing tactic as Landis. "The time trial was really, really hard," Danielson told Cyclingnews. "It was definitely the hardest course I have ever done. I think I didn’t push it super hard -- I was just really consistent. If you look at my time splits they were really consistent."
What made the difference between Landis and Danielson was the way in which each dropped down into downtown Chattanooga off of Lookout Mountain. "I think I lost the race on the downhill because I could not go as fast as Landis could," Danielson said. "Seriously, in the morning I was training on the descent and I was going as hard as I could but Landis came flying by me like a rocket or like I was standing still! He is the best bike handler in the world -- I knew him back when we were mountain biking and he was great back then too."
Landis benefited from a pre-race scouting of the technical descent, but wished he could have studied the climbing a little more. "I studied the course a little bit before the race to know how fast I could take the descent," Landis said. "My one mistake was that I did not have an easy enough gear for the steep climb. I was using a lot of energy there and I paid a little bit for it. But that is also where I think I made time on the other riders because I had to push so hard to get up it fast. I also made good time on the descent. I would take the corners really fast. I did not have to go crazy or take risks there. I kept my descending under control because it is never worth crashing over."

Danielson finds himself in a similar position last year, but this time only four seconds off the lead. And last year the overall difference in the race was decided going in the other direction -- up Brasstown Bald. Once again it will be up to Landis' Phonak team to set the pace and cover any dangerous attacks over the next two tough climbing stages.
"It would be great if Phonak could control the race to keep the leaders jersey but it is unrealistic to expect the team to work on Brasstown Bald," said Landis. "The climb is so steep that once we get there it is going to be all on me to win the general classification and not to lose the jersey on that climb. Last year the team controlled the race and I got beat straight up on the climb. If the race goes the way last year's did, there is nothing the team can do."
|
CSC's Davie Zabriskie only managed to be one second faster than Landis when the two met at the Tour of California time trial, coming in twenty-four seconds behind. All the American can do now is wait and see how Landis and Danielson battle it out on the climbs, hoping that the two will be too busy marking each other. "It will be very difficult to get the leaders jersey now over the next few stages," Zabriskie said after the stage. "You never know what can happen on the climbing days but it will be very hard with Landis and Danielson."
Only losing four seconds to Landis is a big improvement compared to the minute Danielson lost last year. "For me it was just a big challenge mentally and physically," Danielson said. "I knew that I was the under dog here and it wasn’t a matter of me winning -- it was a matter of not losing the race or too much time. I think everyone expected me to lose more time on the course at the finish and I showed that my hard time trial training has paid off and my fitness is paying off. The time I spent in the wind tunnel and with the equipment was a big help too."
|
The top US-based finisher was Australian time trial champion Nathan O'Neill (Health Net-Maxxis) who sits in fourth place, fifty-five seconds behind Landis. "There are a lot of great guys here and it is just a matter of keeping myself in the game over the next stages," he said.
Time to climb
Stage four of Tour de Georgia is the first of the mountain days. (See stage map & profile). It's the day that last year, turned into an epic due to torrential rain and a cold snap that started after the first KOM of the day on Ford Mountain. One comment from an official during the race last year was "OK, we are in survival mode now." Thunderstorms are predicted again for tomorrow, but everyone is hoping that it won't be a repeat of the conditions in 2005
Last year, after rain, thunder and some pretty difficult climbing a group of 20 made it to the finish together and three riders including Brian Vandborg (CSC), Viatcheslav Ekimov (Discovery Channel) and Marco Pinotti (Prodir - Saunier Duval) took off in the last couple of kilometers of the race, holding off the chasing group for the slightly uphill finish. Vandborg took the win in a three up sprint.
The course starts in Dalton, Georgia and heads east towards Ford Mountain which peaks at just under 3000 feet after only 38km of racing. The race then continues East over rolling terrain through Fannin and Union County's before hitting the next climb of the day at the 124km mark. This is Hicks Gap which leads to the famous Wolfpen Gap and Woody Gap not long after. The only difference this year is that a small loop has been taken out of the race meaning the riders only have to face Wolfpen Gap once.
With Floyd Landis wearing the leaders jersey going into the stage, the Phonak team will be on guard and waiting to cover moves from Discovery and CSC.
Last year the town of Dalton gave a big welcome to Saul Raisin as it is his home town. This year riders will pay tribute to Saul, who has just come out of a coma in Europe. Saul's condition continues to improve and the last news was that they were preparing to fly him back to the US to a hospital in Altlanta, GA to continue his recovery.
