Kreuziger looks to be pedalling well.

 

[limerickman]

lovely course : nice to see them going through F1 tunnel too!

 

[limerickman]

great ride by Kloden

 

[Klodifan]

A live interview with Millar as well... the guy is pathetic. The producers think English speakers
trump top contenders.

 

[Klodifan]

Evans out of the gate... having difficulties

 

[limerickman]

Canc is on the course.

Interesting to see how Sastre goes too.

 

[Klodifan]

Ac #1

 

[Klodifan]

Wiggins takes the lead

 

[limerickman]

Superb ride by Canc ; got 2:1 adds at the bookies.

 

[limerickman]

Eddy merckx and Bernard Hinault on the podium,

Nice one

 

[Bro Deal]

Superb ride by Canc ; got 2:1 adds at the bookies.

Really? That's like free money there.

Nice ride by Armstrong. It looks like he can compete for top 3. He is 22 sec down on Contador and 17 sec down on Evans. But he is ahead of other contenders. I guess Astana will beat Lotto in TTT and only Contador will be ahead of him before the stage to Arcalis.

Nice ride by Armstrong. It looks like he can compete for top 3.

top 3, in his own team, maybe.

 

[Scotttri]

TTT will definately be of huge benefit to Astana over Silence Lotto, Columbia highroad or slipstream might be the only ones to match it with Astana, Expect evans, sastre, menchov, both shlecks, to lose a bit of time
