Both Andrew Talansky (Cannondale) and Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing) seemed pleased with their efforts over the 20.3km out-and-back course in the Folsom time trial at the Tour of California during stage 6 on Friday, but neither could top Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing).
"Coming into the week I just said I wanted to improve, you know, come out of the week stronger than I came in," Talansky, the runner-up, said at the post-race press conference.
"I've been feeling pretty good the last few days, and today I was pretty pleased with the ride," he said. "If you look back the past couple of years, I always put in good time trials. I've had a little run of time where I haven't been up there in TTs, so it's nice to be back up there between these two giants of people – Taylor more so than Rohan."

The last line was a nod to the humorous tone third-placed Phinney set when answering questions at the outdoor amphitheatre near the finish line in Folsom.
"I was proud of my ride," Phinney said to start off his staccato list of comments. "I definitely suffered out there. I really gave it everything that I had – all of those clichés."
