Not really liking the stupid blue stripe on the back of the Sky jerseys.

At least the shorts are not brown.

I always find it interesting to see what teams do when they KNOW what is coming. You know Astana is setting up to launch AC, what does a team do to stop it?

p2p station just had to be refreshed, working well
The following set up seems to work best for me:

watching a eurosport link (mute the sound)
http://www.fromsport.com/video-194828.html

Listening to p2p in English (it reloads automatically when interrupted)
http://www.p2pstation.net/

And getting up to date fine details from live aso ticker
http://www.letour.fr/2010/PNC/LIVE/us/400/index.html

works really well and keeps running even when eurosport plays commercials

Commentators were saying they were taking off their leg warmers, which seems nuts in -2 degrees (Celsius).

Leg warmers still apparent, I think it was for food/powergel

Nothing. What can they do?

It's interesting the way Contador is bundled up. It's like Astana is not taking any chances of him getting chilled. I'm taking it as another sign that Contador will go for the win.

Anyone else hold their breath everytime a rider strips down while riding in a group?

Granted, I am the worst bike handler on the planet and I understand they are pros, but whew!

The coverage screams for a color commentator.

Blue- the new black
Red- looks good on Ferraris
Green- unlucky for race cars
Yellow- favorite color of some bicyclists
White- never after Labor day
Purple- symbol of royalty
Orange- tastes good

He took off his jacket, so they must be riding at a pretty good tempo atm.
