Zabriskie third in Castilla y Leon TT, Third overall!!
David Zabriskie rode into third place in the general classification at Castilla y Leon, with a third place finish in the individual time trial.
“I was a little rusty with no racing since the Tour of California and getting really sick,” Zabriskie said. “I felt good on the flats but not so good on the climb — I think that’s where I really lost time. Sitting in third is a good situation for us. I think we have three guys in top 10 so these are good things!”
Tom Danielson and Christian Vande Velde also had top ten rides placing them in the GC hunt.
Team director Johnny Weltz was happy with the day’s results. “It’s a good situation — we have several guy’s placed well on GC, and tomorrow the race will have another menu of the higher mountains coming up. DZ had a really good ride and was leading to the last time check but in the last 10 km lost like 30 second to Levi, as did Contador. So with the engine tuned in on the podium and Contador trying hard to show himself solid as a leader it might be David’s chance to surprise them all!”

…stupid question here, but what’s the bump on Dave Z’s back under his skinsuit? I seem to see those on a lot of timetriallers… is it the radio? Does it help/hurt the aerodynamics? Just curious…
CONGRATULATIONS GUYS !
Great result 3 riders in the Top 10 GC and another fine ride Dave , Tom and Christian ! Lots of attacking options now and plenty of time for Blake and Lucas on the hillier stages .. Good Luck and keep us PROUD to wear ARGYLE as usual !

Alright, 3 ways to make Astana work. They’ve showed weakness this year, go get em!!
You guys need a war cry for before the start of a race and at the end. I’d like to make a suggestion that may pertain to Mr. Zabriskie: “DZ Nutz!”
Awesome ride guys! Best of luck tomorrow
Great job Tommy D. You’re back buddy, good things are gonna happen real soon.
Huub Duyn also did a great time trial! especially with his fall from the day before!
