    Watching him TT is great. Not guaranteed that he takes the jersey like he wanted but going to be very hard to beat that time.

    What a load of crap. They come back to show him crossing the finish line. Way to build positive tension. Tools.

    Sounds like those total tools at ES messed up at an important moment as per usual. Should watch it on EU channels.

    Wiggins on Rai; "I thought bollocks to it I'm not going to touch the brakes, if I crash I crash. I wanted to get the pink jersey or die trying" :-D

    Great ride by Evans. Monster time and no pink. Perfect for him
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Calves of power still got it.

    Sastre looks like he's out on a Sunday club run. He'll be nowhere near.

    Fair enough. Everyone is allowed opinions, including cycling commentators. Harmon's style might not impress everyone, but it's infinitely better than the see-no-evil style offered up by Liggett and co.

    Greipel has the gripes. Eurosport not showing Wiggins in pink.....cos of the tennis.
    What's new?

    Oh dear, profanity alert: Harmon warns us "we may not get to see the podium".

    I'm sure Sky Sports News will show the podium on repeat.

    I agree with you afx. Harman can voice his opinion, I have no problem disagreeing. It is a shame that Kelly's voice of reason isn't there to remind him 'that's the rules' tho'.

    Griepel's style seems to have gone out the window; he's swaying from side to side - anyone got a time check vs Wiggins?
