    I thought Cancellara had big legs and specifically huge hamstrings but Grabsch is a bit much (increased significantly over the last couple of years judging from photos):

    Evans gonna take a minute out of AC on what looks a hilly TT.

    Why do I get the feeling Evans might just lose the Tour in the TTT?

    Terpstra had to change onto his road bike - not sure why but it doesn't look like he has any crash marks on him.

    a strong TT by David Millar ...good to see. Given the right circumstances, he could win the long TDF TT..maybe Monaco? Hope so...he's clearly not totally over the hill yet-top class field he raced with today

    So that puts Evans back in yellow with a 45 second lead over Contador.

    To be honest, what does it really matter at this point? All we really care about is Ventoux and the Izoard
