Tour de France: Prologue - Rotterdam - 8.9km

EBH says he felt it went a little though. He knew during the race that it wouldn't be a winning race.

If the rain continues though he might end with a good result still.

Mr. Transition Lenses had a decent ride. Slotted into 2nd.

Bottle had a great ride too. He's tied for 2nd.

Always wondered where this nickname originated. Noggin size???

No, its what he carries for the Uniballer.

Poison Dwarf refers to his size and personality.

Shows that it's still possible to do very good rides despite the rain.

Well done Farrar and leipheimer! Some of the bigger boys are still posting fast times even with rain!

When I see that advert I always think one day he is going to spend too much time eying up that woman and go straight into the car.

what happened to wiggins? Does the rain affect the times that much anyway? The course seems straight forward...

Leipheimer 28" faster than Wiggins?
The Shack must have had a major bike sale.

Wow Craig Hummer (or whatever his name is) has aged. Big time.

Thomas is leaving in a couple of minutes, He should do something despite the rain. Hopefully.

Of course it did. CN reporters have said it was raining through others rides and that it was on and off. Still would be wet for all.

It's funny. The OLN/VS coverage just started here in Toronto.

The introduction to the show, like the first few minutes of the show, are basically portraying this entire race as a Contador vs. Armstrong race, which is quite funny, cause there's obviously a lot more to this race to that, and chances are it won't even be between these two.

Did Wiggins fall? Time check doesn't say so because he loses the same time at every part :s. Disappointing imo...

"Just had confirmation from Team Sky that Wiggins got round the course without incident. He wanted zero risks."

How the **** did that happen?

3 Footon guys in the bottom 4

 

[Winterfold]

WTF are Eurosport doing?

There is a bike race on - or hadnt they noticed?

Can't say I'm overly impressed with Brad's time. Wonder what DB's spin will be on that?

Martin in yellow will be good for a lot of other teams though

That's surely outside of the time limit?

He must have been sick or something, you can't lose 6 minute in less than 10 km. Not if you're a professional, not even if you're a decent amateur.
