Cadel's tt bike

Listening to ITV podcast, Wiggins is very ambitious to attack on the cobbles.

Looks like it will have gone through by the time they start?

I think so looking at that. Early starters also have warmer conditions and that could be an advantage.

Read mcewens or watsons twitter pages. It is going to rain early

Early starters will not have advantage. Wiggo's plan has gone down the toilet.

Yes, Wiggo's plan backfired. Let´s see what he can do against their rivals today with no weather advantage and giving them a good time reference.

Most of the gc men and guys who want to win will have his time to aim for.

doubt a time refference will do them much in this short tt.
Everyone is just going to go all out for 8km.

First riders (Martin, Boasson,....) will have wet roads and maybe a lower temperature.

The question is: are any Germans going to watching Martin given Germany vs. Argentina right now, LOL?

Also, re some riders' penchant to fall (eg. Menchov, etc.), if a big rider falls today, with cobbles coming up on day 3, they might be in trouble.

Will the coverage even be on then for Martin?

Is the TdF on TV this year? It's not on OLN right now.

[auscyclefan94]

Martin underway! Hopefully he does a great time to challenge Cancellara but me thinks he is starting too early.

First time is 11'09 which is 47.9 km/h. We'll probably see times close to or under 10 minutes perhaps.

I don't know where you life but in the US, OLN rebranded itself as VS several years ago. And yes, it is on VS, so essentially the same channel.

Also google is your friend.
