O’Grady to decide during ITT

CSC rider Stuart O’Grady was unsure yesterday as to whether he would ride the time trial flat out or hold something back.

“I will probably decide what to do as I go off the start ramp. Fabian [Cancellara] is there and he will be up for the win. I will make up my mind tomorrow," the Australian said.

“I am feeling good at this point, although it feels like we have been racing for two weeks. Everything is going pretty well, I can’t complain. The mood is nice on the team – Carlos is still feeling good, the whole team is behind him and we have been riding pretty strong when we have had to. The last few days we have tried to keep back a little bit, though, to chill out.”
