Can we just move this thread to the clinic to save time?

 

[Havetts]

Haha.. Holy **** Sky.

Evans has been weaker all this year than he was last year. Shown it all year, even with his recent efforts to gain more form. I think age is catching up with him. It's his top end that's gradually coming down.

------------------------

Bradley is amazingly still on the bike: looks like he's sitting there watching the telly.

 

[DominicDecoco]

As expected from Frank.

 

[Unkown]

3:34 for Frank, so more like 4:30 to Froome and Wiggins.

 

[woodburn]

Schleck could lose more than 4 minutes.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

3:34 for Frank, so more like 4:30 to Froome and Wiggins.

And the rest.

I can support this motion.

 

[Falken]

Menchov - bad. Game over ???

Vroom almost 50s on Menchov after 16.5! That's insane.

 

[Warhawk]

cadel 30s down, in hilly part?
hope he will be super agressive in mountains or the TdF will be boring as hell
or he just started slowly

Or Froome just started too fast. We'll see...

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Good effort from Nibbles, but still going to lose plenty today.

 

[Bala Verde]

3:35 for Schleck. I had him at 4:35... One minute faster... Impressive Schleck.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

3:35 for Schleck. I had him at 4:35... One minute faster... Impressive Schleck.

He'll be around 4:35 to the stage winner, maybe a little worse, maybe a little better

1'03 virtual lead? This is hilarious.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Nibali to lose 3 minutes and get jumped by Froome.

OMG 1 minute and 4 seconds to Evans!

 

[The Sheep]

Evans better be awful or this is going to be a bit over the top

 

[Fetisoff]

20 more seconds... Evans slow or Wiggo that clinic??? I mean fast...

 

[Marco Pantani]

So wiggo 30 secs faster than froomey i assume.

 

[SafeBet]

Good effort from Nibbles, but still going to lose plenty today.

Who isn't?

 

[Jukebox]

Sky is hilarous.

This is a joke, right?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Cadel lost a minute on Wiggo at the first check.

[burning]

This is getting ridiculous

 

[vcampbell]

Froome? It was predictable But one thing is sure, he is a future GT winner.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

How awesome would it be if Wiggins caught Evans?

 

[trevim]

I'm starting to doubt that even Andy and Contador would be able to reach Froome and Wiggins.
