Stage 13 Albi TT *spoiler*

So, who do you think will be in yellow tonight then?

I reckon it will be Cadel Evans, with moves up by Levi, Vino and Klodi.

iainf72

Oh, Geraint Thomas is the fastest at the first check at the moment.

Edit - Scratch that, it's Wiggins now.

Eurostar

Where are you getting this? NOS doesn't seem to be working. Not for me, anyway.

jibi

Cancellara is down on wiggins at first check

I think Rasmussen will still be in yellow, but by the skin of his teeth!

jibi

Cancellara 2 mins down at second check
and Millar is on the course

jimmythecuckoo

Go on Brad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eurostar

Has anyone found the start times? Can't remember the protocol - does the yellow yersey start last?

Eurostar

Never mind, found it now.

Millar over a minute down at first check!!!!!!!!

Wiggins has done an astonishing ride!

Wil lit hold up against the GC boys? What a turn up if he did manage to win it and it would be excellent for him mentally.

Eurostar

Re Millar - worked too hard yesterday perhaps?

Has anyone read any predicted times for the TT hotshots? Could be a while til Brad gets knocked off the top spot. I wonder what difference the weather is making? I think I read that rain reduced the rolling resistance.

I must salute Geraint in 8th position..some ride!

Cancellara fell, which is why he's finished 6 and a half minutes behind. Great ride by Wiggins and Thomas too.

jibi

the weather there is not too good for the later starters

Wiggins could have done it?????

If the rain doesn't stop, then I reckon it's in the bag. (Similar to Millar's TT win in 2003 when in rained on Ullrich and Armstrong)

Nobody picked Brad for PTP today - he doesn't really have any pedigree at long lumpy time trials so his ride today is superb.

I'll be ecstatic if he wins today................sod the Pro Tour Pundit competition. I suspect Kloden should be able to beat him, but, given the conditions anything can happen..............riding a technical TT on wet roads must be a nightmare.

Think the top 3 overall tonight will be: 1st Evans, 2nd Rasmussen, 3rd Kloden

Would be great if he won it but I think one of the top boys will still take it.

Blimey didn't know the Tour was back in Britain this weekend, or have we exported our wonderful summer weather to southern France?

Vino is flying. Astana team orders being reshuffled again?

ajohn9

52 up at the second check point in the wet!!! it will be interesting to see what kloden can do. I think Rasmussen is Fcuked in these conditions.

aba2005

over a minute at the third checkpoint

aba2005

Kloden looks good as well

Moose11

I didnt like Vino at all before this tour but he's really winning me over. The guy has got more guts than ive seen before from a cyclist and deserves a good break.

Bronzie

And nobody picked Vino for PTP today either..............."as long as he's still got 2 legs he can't be written off" as David Harmon stated :shock:
