Not much to say when it comes down to the race against the clock.  You can talk about the weather, wind, rain, etc... but it all comes down to the fastest man on a bike.  After such a great day of racing Gesink kept the emotions flowing and notched the best time of the day in a hilly out and back TT.  Cancellara is no surprise in the top ten, but it was not a classical time-trialers course and he still banged out a fourth place.  Lars Boom showed his skill in the Qatar prologue and continues to exhibit the same ability in the TT in Oman.  Vicsonti the Italian national road race champ showed some skill against the clock with 16sec off the pace in 2nd place.
