Leipheimer takes tough Time Trial, Hincapie extends lead

Discovery enjoys positive flashbacks of Georgia in Branson

The memories of Georgia keep flowing at the Tour of Missouri, with two races now running simultaneously - the race between yesterday's 12 break riders for the overall win and the 95 other riders now just fighting for stage wins. As in Georgia it was Discovery Channel taking charge of both of these races in the Time Trial, with Levi Leipheimer once again winning the race against the clock. But unlike Georgia, where Janis Brajkovic was the unlikely general classification benefactor for the team, designated leader George Hincapie was 'Johnny-on-the-spot' yesterday and he extended his overall lead with a sixth place finish.

"I definitely felt tired after yesterday because it was 11 guys against me," said the yellow jersey wearer Hincapie. "I had to cover every attack and so I paid a little in today's Time Trial for that effort. It was still good today because I was better than everybody that was in the break so I did all that I needed to do today."

"It was a hard course and the thing about today was that you really had to know when to push and when not to push," said stage winner Levi Leipheimer. "I don't know if you could call it a climb but today was two big rollers that were very hard. I had to go over my limit on those rollers and then try in some places to recover. There was one moment that it was so fast coming down the hill that I had to stop pedaling and tuck.

"I realised [I could win] when I was catching riders and I would make up time on them on the hills and hold them in position on the down hills," he said. "I think that I rode well today but it wasn't my best day even though I was still able to win.

As in Georgia, Leipheimer's dominant Time Trial effort never had a chance to put him in contention for the overall. But unlike last April, Leipheimer was not unhappy about it. "It's okay because we knew that George is the best time trialer in the break," he said. "We wanted someone else to win, especially George who has had a lot of bad luck. I've won a lot of races this year."

Finishing a strong second place was the Australian Time Trial champion Nathan O'Neill (Health Net-Maxxis) who also finished second to Leipheimer in Georgia. However today, on a course that is just about the same distance and difficulty, O'Neill was only 16 seconds slower, compared to 1.18 minutes in April.

"Second and only losing 30 seconds to Levi is pretty good and I am not all crying about that," said O'Neill. "I am crying about the break going up the road yesterday though because the fact that they took 15 minutes on us is ridiculous. So I cant explain that but at the same time it's a bike race and that's why we have a race and why it is called a race."

O'Neill came out to Missouri well in advance to pre-ride three stages, including the Time Trial. "When I came to look at the course I knew right away that it was going to be a good course for me," he noted. "I wanted to go fast today and I was up for it today. I woke up feeling really good and I knew right from the beginning that I was going to have a good day so it is nice to be able to deliver it."

The surprise of the day came early - first, in fact, as the first rider across the line was the seventh rider to start. Matti Helminen (DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed) caught and passed all six riders who started at one minute intervals in front of him to set a blazing fast first time. At first the judges thought he may have somehow missed a turn and cut the course, until they realised it was the multiple Finnish Time Trial champion who double-flatted in the closing circuits of the first day.

"I'm focusing on the World Championships," said Helminen. "I wanted to see what I could do on this Time Trial course as an indication of what I am doing for worlds. But this course was really different - it is a lot of climbing. It is sill a good way to open up the legs and get ready for [the worlds.]"

"It is too bad we had such bad luck on stage one," he said. Helminen also commented on why the team decided to do the majority of the work yesterday even after their GC hopes were dashed in the first stage. "We just had the invitation to race here just two weeks ago and we had to split the team to be able to come here."

Navigators Insurance also had a strong showing, putting four in the top 20, with Aussie Ben Day finishing the best at fourth. "I didn't feel bad but I didn't feel great enough to push myself too hard," he said. "Some days you have that feeling and today I didn't. I believe I've done better rides, it wasn't for a win like it was in Beauce. The course was hard, ya know, the first 10 kilometres you just felt like you were going up and up and up!"

The overall picture shifted considerably, at least from second place to 12th, with Slipstream-Chipotle rider Will Frischkorn riding a strong second place to take over the second place spot, 1.40 minutes behind Hincapie. Former second place rider Dominque Rollin (KodakGallery-Sierra Nevada) dropped to fourth place, but only by one second behind David Cañada (Saunier Duval-Prodir), setting up a potential intermediate sprint battle over the final three stages.

Slipstream-Chipotle is also performing well beyond the second place overall - the team leads the classification and Steven Cozza took over the best young rider jersey by finishing 15th on the day.

The leader of the bad luck classification continues to be Toyota-United. After losing Ivan Stevic and Jose Garcia to injuries in the first two days, Sean Sullivan was time cut after nobly battling a bad case of asthma. The team's Time Trial hope Chris Baldwin was noticeably cut-up from a crash earlier in the week.

One of the hardest stages looms tomorrow - a 214 km leg with more of the same relentless rolling Missouri hills, two intermediate sprints and a KOM climb before finishing in the University town of Columbia.
