Guees the wind direction has changed in the final part,if so, Saxo is in major trouble.

The Eurosport guys just mentioned this too.

The first checkpoint always says the least. History has taught us that much.

Don't draw early conclusions. The finish is at 23km, not 9km

2nd point: Rabobank still 3 seconds faster than Saxo

shiiiit rabo need to do better than that if they want to gain time on contador. is saxos time that good??

Saxo lost time in the last part.
Let's see if Rabo can keep it together.

Thats slower than expected. But still feel they will gain an additional 10 on the last stretch since they are still 9 right?

Belgium too, both French teams won time on the last part.

Guy is just building up a hope that there will come a team (unknown which ) who will ride to the horizon, flying like a wind, and take out some two-three minutes on Alberto.

Garmin starting, we'll soon know the value of Saxo's time.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Team smug on the start ramp. HTC to stuff them again.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Here go Garmin, now we'll know a few things.

 

[Carl0880]

Saur went 6 seconds quicker in the last 3rd of the race then Saxo did. Interesting comparision,

 

[ak-zaaf]

Garmin to set the first serious time.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I don't think Rabobank is doing bad. I think Saxo Bank did well. Apart from the last part.

Thor Hushovd in polka dot jersey is just... bizarre

 

[franciep10]

now we see how good rabo and saxo time were

Did they? They extended the gaps on all of those that are home so far.

Rabo will only nick it by a few seconds.

They looked ragged, but they where taking shorter turns at the front. Short distance, short truns. Losing a few riders is not going matter.

It'll be an addition to his wall of jerseys he never expected to get .

Paisan's (Basso) team should be alright i reckon.

 

[Jamsque]

Liquigas not as good as they have been in the past.
