Saturday, June 30 - Tour de France, Prologue: Liege - Liege, 6,4 km

[One Eyed Aussie]

Porte slower than Cav to halfway.

TeamSky learning you can't trust Aussies to do a proper job.

I think they were saving energy so they could be Bradleys b*itches for the rest of the Tour.

 

[Mellow Velo]

It's not **** stirring. Simple defensive reaction against the inevitable BMCFAIL that is awaiting us

Unacceptable target?

Will Basso crack 9 minutes?

Acceptable target?

Anyhow, regardless of pacing Phil Gil did great. No question.

 

[Fetisoff]

Porte +20s at the finish

Sooo... "Rogers has been **** for last 7 years". "Porte sacrificed his TTing for climbing". Wonder what the excuse for Wiggofail is going to be

[Trunnions]

CVV 11' off the pace halfway.... surprising!

 

[dlwssonic]

Nope. Like they will fail this year.

I see you have a time machine

Interesting to see what Levi can do today. He seemed to get stronger and stronger in TdS after a miserable prologue.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Porte +20s at the finish

No, 15 seconds at the moment.

Looks like both Porte and Rogers might have peaked too early as many thought initially. Of course, a prologue is not the best indicator of form, but for such accomplished time trialists to be so far behind is worrying. Luckily for Wiggins he'd still have a more than decent team for the mountains even without those two.

 

[AussieEdge]

Like how they failed so miserably last year at the tour???

dont bite....Im happy to let the results do the talking

 

[Mellow Velo]

Basso 7'-42".
Only 22" down is not bad.

 

[Fetisoff]

Unacceptable target?

Acceptable target?

Basso does well. Gonna be ahead of Nibali after prologue. New team leader??

I see you have a time machine

Nah, just a faildetector. Like right now I detect bottle will fail.

they could of been not wanting to waste any more energy then they need to for the tour

You obviously miss the point.

Contador > Andy.

 

[cineteq]

Basso 7'-42".
Only 22" down is not bad.

Especially for a rider who's not riding for GC, according to him....

 

[Gloin22]

Nah, just a faildetector

You should better mind the spectacular fail coming from Menchov

I see I will put your faildetector to the test over these three weeks.

Maybe, but if they blitzed the prologue people would also be saying they're peaking too early.

I think that's obvious

Porte +15, not that weak really considering he is lighter than ever. Rogers on the other hand...

Can't be any worse than the Katusha fail of last year

 

[dlwssonic]

I'm not really sure if evans can get into the top 10 today.

 

[Frosty]

Big George 17th at half way

 

[Gloin22]

True Freire should bring win for Katusha somwhere though defo.
