Don't think there's anything to report yet, but I thought I'd start the thread anyway. Of the early starters, Cam Meyer has the fastest time so far. 20'51".

    When's this due on Eurosport? Why on Earth are they showing the Lincoln GP again when there's live racing going on?

    Gustav Larsson gets the new fastest time. Wiggo out on the road.

    Nice ride by Larsson. Wiggins 2mins in.

    Hah, at least it's nice to know the tennis commentator is a Wiggo fan.

    Wiggins at 1.48 on GC. Should have huge unused reserves to storm this TT.....

    Was Larsson riding 650 or is he extremely tall?

    I never really got why some tt bikes have smaller wheels.
    I would think the increased rolling resistance would nullify or worsen geometric gains

    I guess it is a big improvement from 2008 where he was 8th from last, 4hrs down.

    It was after the stage. He finished the TT and then put on a black jersey with pink bits. Or it might just have been a coat... it might be a bit nippy and I don't know what I'm talking about...

    Simoni was wearing a shirt and pink tie under his jersey.

    Can you watch this in England?

    Wiggins 8 seconds down on Larsson at first split.

    He was wearing it for the ride, didn't just put it on at the end.

    Not bad. He would have had to ride at 60km/h average in the last km to have got first.

    For a neo pro Porte has done a fantastic job. Even removing the 13mins from that stage he is nearly in the top ten.
