    Armstrong 9 sec down at first check, Kloden double that.

    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    Maybe they identify with his right-wing politics?
    More like they appreciate the 'panache' of someone coming out of retirement at his age in order to take on the Tour once more.

    Nibali not on a great day. There's even a chance Wiggo catches him.

    I wasn't paying attention properly but I'm sure I just heard an advert for robotic chickens on ITV4 - what was that all about?

    Contador sets the fastest time.

    Contador has two motorbikes ahead of him, that's an advantage.

    Contador, eh?

    Fat people are so insensitive
  • Contador, the worlds greatest TTer. This will drive LA absolutely nuts as I'm sure in the team meeting they'd have said Contador should let Lance finish ahead of him.
