[El Imbatido]

saxo are all riding the new fangled TT bike that fabian tested earlier in the year

 

[Cobblestones]

Canc doing huge pulls. Schleck (Andy for a change) almost did a BBox.

 

[sportzchick]

Cancellara emulating Chris Boardman by taking shorter stronger pulls instead of longer slower ones and thus destroying his team.

If he keeps it up Saxo will lose a heck of a lot of time today.

 

[180mmCrank]

Cancellara nearly puts Schleck in the ditch...

they arent talking much about him on eurosport

 

[msjett]

mmm, Matt Keenan who was commentating on SBS said he thought leaky gas was a good chance for today...he may be right

 

[uphillstruggle]

Spartacus is a beast he's doing it on his own haha

Garmin can't afford to lose Ryder Hesjedal - he doesn't look too comfortable - left knee/leg popping out every from vertical every now and then..

 

[msjett]

Was hoping my eyes deceived me...but you confirmed it for me dim....naked man...hahaha

[luckyboy]

Euskaltel own Rabo by 11 seconds

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Astana at 7 seconds behind at first check, not bad.

 

[Cobblestones]

Euskaltel beating Rabo. What were the odds on that.

 

[Jasper]

Saxo very close to Garmin's time, with Cancellara doing nearly all the work. Too bad he can't go all out, cause he can't take the risk of dropping either Schleck. Andy could be doing a very good job today, putting lots of time into Evans and Menchov.

 

[Bala Verde]

I don't think anyone saw that coming.

This TT will surely rewrite all the previous possible scenarios, and it will turn things around on Arcalis as well. Now it's Menchov and Evans who will have to attack, instead of Sastre and the Schlecks.

Agree, this will change the dynamics of the TdF. or better I Hope. Having gotten conditioned to tours that were decided in one climb and a TT and a half, I hope, this year, that some of the contenders will actualy make the lives of the strongest team(s) miserable...Instead of the eternal communal tourist ride to the top...

Astana tied for 2nd best time at 1st check. Man, Caisse was flying at the start!

[jaylew]

Hesjedal not taking pulls anymore.

 

[msjett]

Pretty sure that the last thing you wanna see when you have been dropped by your team...is some blokes bits flopping up and down in your face. lol
