Radioshack having a team of GC candidates finally delivering.
Seems like VDB and Nibali have to be the ones to cheer for this Tour.

Hello Gloin22...
dlwssonic, meet Froome. Froome, meet dlwssonic.dlwssonic said:To chase down any attacks from the GC contenders.
dlwssonic said:Porte and Rogers came at 4:58 today.
They seemed quite beatable today.
dlwssonic said:Cadel will surprise quite a few tomorrow.
The tour is on!!!!
VDB looks in great shape just super unlucky yesterday.
Waterloo Sunrise said:Please post what time relative to Wiggins you consider good, average and bad for Cadel.
Genuinely intrigued what you think would be surprising, if you think his prologue timeloss was good.

There was never going to be a situation where Wiggo needed more than that today. It was going to be a short chase, and Wiggo would be aided by other GC contenders anyway.
For now I definitely see it as an eyebrow lowering operation, but we'll know soon.
dlwssonic said:Prologue time loss was decent for him.
I think anything below 45-30 seconds is good
Dekker_Tifosi said:Yet Sky had Froome and Wiggins there.
Evans - alone
JvdB - alone
Radioshack - with 3 but only by the skin of their teeth
Menchov - alone
Nibali - alone
what's your point?? Lol
Me, early in the thread:Froome19 said:Today was avery big victory for ASO who proved that they can create stages which can provide entertainment and selections without even including the hardest climbs.
Libertine Seguros said:This has the potential to be the best stage of the entire race. One of the few genuinely well-designed stages this year.
El Pistolero said:How is that good? He can't drop Wiggins anywhere. He'll lose the Tour if he doesn't beat Wiggins in the time trials.

It's a long Tour, Wiggins won't lose the race in the ITTs, but he will at some point, probably the 3rd week.El Pistolero said:He'll lose the Tour if he doesn't beat Wiggins in the time trials. Only real gaps in this Tour will be made in time trials, crashes and unfortunate time gaps.
Great to see him come out of the stage with something. Really enjoyed this stage.Unkown said:Nice Kessiakof just moves into the polka dot jersey with 21 points

Is it two or three minutes apart for the final riders tomorrow?
