Any prospect of LA catching Frank Schleck?Too short a distance to gain 3 mins?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Schleck will be trying to catch LA!FCN 2-4.

Dear DDD
I wasn't having a pop at you - you will notice I called it a typo as opposed to a mistake.
It is my problem that it grates on me when I see it, and only you, thread-starter, can edit it (I think)
Now that Attica has made some pseudo-convincing reason for keeping it that way, I suppose I am outnumbered.....Emerging from under a big black cloud. All help welcome0 -

I have to grudgingly admit that Lance played a tactical blinder, he slowed Wiggo down enough for AC and AK to take plenty of time out of him, then simply put the hammer down and left the poor chap floundering.

According to Paul Sherwen Lance has been away from the sport of professional cycling for 4 years and is 38.

Well i'm currently at my folks place in Trescléoux, about an 90min drive from Mt Ventoux. Setting off tomorrow, gonna camp over night and hopefully get a good view of the lads coming though on Saturday.0

Go Wiggo! He might only be one second faster at the first checkpoint, but he's faster none the less.0
-
Well, I thought armstrong would do better than that at the first checkpoint. He looked like he was going all out.0

well booger me - have you seen Contadors split at the first time point.
How come this little bloke is so quick on a flat TT?0 -
Have you seen his second split? He's either come a cropper, or he's blown, which could be mega bad news for him.
EDIT: actually everyone seems to be losing mega time at the second split. Did Ignatiev set a trap or something?0 -
Wiggins 49:13, currently 5th. Slower than Millar in the end.Specialized Allez

Maybe all that slimming down that Bradders did to get up the mountains has counted against him in the TT??0

I think it's because he's such a slight fellow. Very little wind resistance. Doesn't weigh a great deal, and, and, stuff. Yeah, that's it.FCN 2-4.
