Prologue: Fabian Cancellera came first by 7 seconds . How can you be that much better?


Stage 1 had a good little finish

Cancellara was born to time trial. His quads are ridiculous they almost look unnaturally swollen. And he is so much more aggressive in his handling. Can't wait to see him when they hit the mountains tho, he will be heading backwards quickly. Gravity is a *****.
Just hope cadel can take wiggins down.

Ahhh .... another year, another few weeks of CK watching the French country side, imitating the commentary with dodgy accents, while practicing the 50 or so French words he knows.

Tres Bien :thumb:

hahaha hard stupid amateur photographer. On a side note, wtf the leading bunch had to stop for 45 seconds due to a train coming past. Seriously how embarrassing. That only cost them 1km from the peleton lol

So many people jizzing of Bradley Wiggins. He's a really good prospect but i dont think he will beat Evans this year. Maybe in a year or 2.

He's tailor made for the prologue. Its funny that Evans at the halfway stage of it was actually faster than him and then for some reason faded. So unlike Evans. The big difference will come in the time trial. Evans is the stronger one.

Wiggins is a gun who has won everything this year. He would have been right in the mix last year aswell but broke his colarbone in the first week of the tour.
With more time trialling this year than ever before wiggins is a big worry.
Also what with the aussie green edge teams jerseys? They are not really green and look like lots of other jerseys. They should have been more distinct and more ... well... Green.

That stage last night is why you stay up. While the overall time did not change between Wiggins and Evans, the peleton got destroyed by the pace. Only 4 men survived with one more 17 seconds behind that and then 50seconds and beyond for the rest. How does anyone sprint on a 20% incline?

As Froomey ahaha. Gotta give Evans credit. His team got shown up but didnt buckle. He was gonna attack Wiggins and would have succeeded but thought better of it. Its way too steep to have a massive attack with only a few hundred metres. If it was like a km like that, he would be in the yellow jersey now

Yea it looked like Wiggins was just keeping on his wheel, but we won't know until as you said a longer mountain. Though I don''t think anyone could ride for a km on 20% :P

I think Evans partially broke Wiggins overnight. Even though they crossed together, Evans broke away trying to get the yellow jersey and Wiggins couldnt respond on his own until the others decided to help him out. As long as Evans doesnt do a bad job in the time trial tonight, by the last time trial you should expect Evans to be in the yellow.
