    Trivia buffs - what is LA's worst ever position in an opening TT at the TDF?

    I mean LA 2.0 not LA 1.0.

    Correct answer: 7th in 2003. Cyclingnews' new site made that harder to find than it should have been :evil:

    I dont understand quite what everyone means by 2.0 v 1.0 but he came 26th in 2007?

    Eh? Armstrong, not Leipheimer!

    LA 1.0 = pre-99
    LA 2.0 = post-99
    LA 3.0 = current model

    Not a stage winner but Bennati could do a decent time if he is up for it

    After the dynamic duo, its a bit of a yawn waiting for the 100 domestiques to get out of the way, before the big boys appear.

    Weather seems to be improving all of the time, which means nobody should be penalised with wet ones.....

    They should make all the GC riders go at the beginning instead of the end. Then we can watch the first 25 minutes then go and do something else!

    Kreuziger 2nd at 7.5km... 3" slower than Levi.

    You can usually find the Eurosport audio feed in English at the bottom right of cycingfans.com. So if your TV feed is in the wrong language turn the sound down and load the audio feed in another tab. It will be out of sync but better than nothing.
