Well watcha reckon? It sounded a good one to me, based on the last half
hour I heard. Armstrong sounded stronger than last year, 2 seconds off in
second place rather than hidden away further down the list (what time did
he got last year?)

will be a bit peeved for not coming first ... he was giving it loads,
surprised McGee and Ullrich didn't go faster ... -

and body barely moved. Not sure Ullrich is that bothered about the
prologue - he didn't seem to be in any desperate hurry. -

Today, or in general? I read he's changed his position for this year.
Can't comment on that yet, I only had the live commentary to go by today. -

He seems to be in better shape than I ever remember him, in fact I barely
recognised his thin face :-)I reckon Tyler Hamilton could be tha man this year, but hey let's hope Lance
does it eh? Six, wow. If he looses, he'll never ride again.bfn,

on? Would he try such a risky strategy? I have a hunch he might...Of course, risky or not, he'd have trouble getting past Petacchi at the
moment.d.

significant moves probably until Stage 12http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2004/tour04/?id=stages/stage12

maybe it's just too much wishful thinking...d.

Just a gentle reminder about the posting protocol Paul. The thread title
says "SPOILER: TDF prologue" not "....stage 1" :-)Cheers,

My local pub have a "don't mention the TdF to Nick" rule .. and I've told my
friends and, especially, family that I don't want to know the results from
them. 🙂
