He's just said on Twitter he would be there: Luke Durbridge ‏@luke_durbridge1 @Cyclingnewsfeed @PelotonWatch don't worry about me I'll be there on the start line of the tt. ;). Ready to go !!

Can anyone tell me who the nominated leaders for the following teams are: Slovenia - Brajkovic, or maybe Spilak if as expected the weather will be wet Czech - Stybar, or Konig or perhaps names not even mentioned. In fact would be good to see for each country who the nominated...

Tony's view... "I was surprised in a positive way about the parcour," Martin said. "When I checked the profile at the beginning of La Vuelta I thought it was too hard with the climb in the middle, Alto de Moncayo (Category 3). But today we went there and it is actually not so bad. The first 7...

13:31:00 WESTRA Lieuwe Vacansoleil-DCM 14:15:00 PINOTTI Marco BMC Racing Team will be the 1-2 until: 14:18:00 MARTIN Tony Omega Pharma-QuickStep 14:54:00 CANCELLARA Fabian Radioshack Leopard

The weather forecast for Bad Ragaz suggests that the wind will pick up slightly during the day and there is a risk of thundertsorms later in the afternoon. The flat section is along the valley into the headwind, so wonder if the wind may be even channelled to be higher that the 3-4mph...

odds are up now for Suisse and Dauphine, stage and overall. Bet365 and others. Main one to have caught my eye was Bajkovic overall at 40-1, now 22-1. Kangert is 9-1 so bookies either know something that Astana haven't published or have got it wrong.

Dauphine What's everyone's thoughts on the Dauphine from a betting perspective? Contador and Froome not suprsingly head the betting markets, but with Froome so short priced at around 10/11, and Contador not coming to win...

Katusha car this morning

The weather forecast is not looking great: http://meteonews.fr/en/Course_of_the_Day/G3016761/Col_du_Galibier/d0/today -3/4 with light snow all day. With a 20 km/h southerly (headwind) will add to wind-chill. It;'s goingto be a tough old day up there and I can see them bringing the finish...

ha ha, no problem manfana, always taken care of down to 22-1 now

PaddyPower seem to be investing some effort in getting markets up this year. They already have Stage 2 markets up, with big vaue bet at Astana at 100-1. Kessiakof, Gruzdev, Nibbles etc, surely better than 100-1 implies. Shame they only let me bet 1 euro now !

Marco Pinotti ‏@marcopinotti on twitter... "Reco TT this morning. First 4 k ideal with TT bike, then 3.4 k real climb. ~20% more time climbing. Difficult to choose which bike. But ultimately the legs do the talking no matter which bike you are going to ride. "

He has been talking up his chances on his blog for a podium position http://www.tonymartin.de/de/

skybet and stanjames have odds for romandie now Froome now 2/1 in places for prologue (same as T Martin !) Does Martin really have that good a chance for the prologue?

I had a bet on Talansky at 15/1 (less now) for outright at Bet365. There is also a book at sportingbet now. For Prologue, it's hard to see past Froome, but do you think any outsiders/climbers have a chance such as: Gesink, Hesjedal or even your man Machado, all at 33/1 ?
