Pretty good prologue by Rodriguez only losing 11 seconds to Tjallingii and 4 to Zabriskie
Anyway, we can scrap Thomas for a prologue win already

Ok some predictions are allready wrong. Like Thomas and Zabriskie winning it and Tjallingi not being any good at prologues

I think Tjallingii will get a spot in the Rabo Tourteam. Very strong rider for the flat and an strong addition for the TTT.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tjallingii still averages 49.34 km/h .. So despite the climb still a pretty fast prologue

 

[roundabout]

Weird prologue, a Rodriguez-level TT rider like Zaugg beat Zabriskie.

Don't know why exactly, but the winning time will likely to be quite faster than 6:34.

btw. I haven't found a decent live ticker so far. Anyone got a link?

That's what the riders are tweeting.

 

[goggalor]

Tony Martin 10th, 7 seconds behind Lemoine. A bit surprising.

[goggalor]

Me too. That's a good ride.

 

[Woody22]

Lampre really lighting up the bottom or the leaderboard.

 

[Winterfold]

Martin and Thomas the same time 10th and 12th - think we will see a surprise winner today now...
