French tv ****ing annoys me. Show someone on the road already please.

 

[roundabout]

I think last year looked wetter.

 

[goggalor]

Doesn't look too bad.

 

[karlboss]

The rains seems to have stopped and the road is drying.

 

[markene2]

Kash getting TV time for the first time in 5 years...

 

[goggalor]

Looks like dry roads for Tony.

 

[l.Harm]

Wtf Martin

 

[roundabout]

Looked pretty dry for Martin from the few seconds they showed

 

[will10]

Wiggins said in a recent interview that when he was the leader, he was starting last of his team. No more guessing the weather for prologues, he wants to take the responsibility and go off last.

At the end of the day, the Tour isn't going to be won or lost in the prologue, unless you're Andy Schleck.

 

[hatcher]

Looked bone dry for Martin.

 

[spalco]

It does look a bit wet where Geschke is right now. But I don't think it really makes much difference in the end.

 

[roundabout]

Geschke looks like he is racing in the night

 

[goggalor]

Ok that looked pretty bad for Geschke. The first 60 at least raced on dry roads though.

Edit: Devenyns down. Slippery now.

 

[Gloin22]

Deveyns crashes.

The roundabout is wet as hell.

 

[Trofinios]

There you go, some corners are definately dangerous.

tell that to devenyns.the corners are very slippery

 

[roundabout]

I was about to write that it looks very slick on the roundabout and then Devenyns falls.

 

[hatcher]

Yeah, looking slow and slippery now.

 

[will10]

With Devenyns fall comes Durbridge's victory. No-one will take chances now unless it drys up considerably.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Damn, i justw anted to say that this section looks dangerous. And there he goes down

 

[spalco]

So, definitely slippery on some parts of the course. Didn't look like Devenyns made any significant mistake there that caused him to fall over.

 

[classicomano]

Havent seen a time under 7:00 in ages.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Ok that looked pretty bad for Geschke. The first 60 at least raced on dry roads though.

Edit: Devenyns down. Slippery now.

no they didn't

 

[Publicus]

Wet roads! Andy is going to LOVE this route...

 

[wirral]

That looked really greasy and slippy with some 'seams' in the tarmac. Ouch.
