    Big day today, will Cancellara win? how’s Tony Martin doing? will Froome go all out or settle for his domestique roll? Lots of questions today and it should be as interesting.

    My team, made four transfers (40 penalty points):

    Wiggins
    Evans
    Froome
    Gusev
    Zabriskie
    Jeandesboz
    Levarlet
    Boeckmans
    Izagirre

    Unless I have a good day today I’ll be calling it a day on my title challenge (a’la Gesink) and shooting for a stage win.

    Oh, and the transfer window has closed and the stage has just started. Good luck everyone.

    Can’t really judge anything
    Can’t really judge anything on the first split though, because the timing is just at the top of the small climb, So Canc was never going to be fastest through split one

    Van Garderen beats Cancellara’s time
    At the first check, the young American from BMC – Tejay van Garderen – has set the fastest time. He is 3″ ahead of Cancellara!

    Have to go for Wiggo now, he should destroy the course and hopefully put 30+ seconds into Evans. If Evans limits him to less than that then he’s put in a superhuman ride.

    I hope Wiggo can put in a good time, but I don’t see him doing a 52. As it stands I have 3 in the top 10, so I’m hoping only Wiggo can go under 54.33 👿 👿

    Sorry, Cancellara is storming
    Sorry, Cancellara is storming it but I still reckon Wiggins is in with a good shout. The climb in particular should help him more than Cancellara, plus, if he’s doing his Discovery Channel thing he may even out pace his support car today…

    I’m calling it now, without Canc even finished, he’s going to win it, Over a minute up at the second split……He’s found his TT legs today :O

    And he was nailing it for a good portion of yesterday’s stage. Chapeau Jens.

    He’s such a star! I don’t think he’ll retire quietly and voluntarily – it’ll take several big blokes to drag him away in a strait jacket 😉

    EDIT – Although thinking about it, I brought in Westra for Larsson so I should be happy. 😀

    He should stay there unless one of the big guns goes round in under 50 minutes, at which point he’s outside of the cut-off and DQ’d 😀

    Always unlikely to finish top 5(minimum requirement for 20 penalty points)and nowhere in any of the GC/pts/KOM comps!!

    Martin goes fastest by half a minute!!

    first 3 of mine to finish are sitting 2nd,9th and 12th with some major guns to come-really anticipating top50 on the stage
