    Largely correct, apart from the fact that it is Deveneyns..... while Peter Sagan now does better

    I watched it all last night. Armstrong looks.......................inefficient. Whirlingly fast cadence, lots of movement from both him and the bike. Slow up the climb and safety first down. Clearly he was making a big effort, so 44th, almost 30 seconds behind Kreuziger puts Contador's trialing tinkering into perspective.

    CN try to paint a rosy picture:
    Lance Armstrong (RadioShack) was one of the riders who raced late in the afternoon and faced wet conditions for the final part of the time trial in the centre of Lugano. Armstrong avoided taking any risks, finishing 44th with a time that was 29 seconds slower than Cancellara's pace.

    Trouble is, most of the riders who beat him, had exactly the same conditions.

    Other noteable flops: Kloden, Gesink LL Sanchez and.........Tom Danielson.

    What a load of crap... the rain came much earlier... when Armstrong went the road was totally dry

    It was weird how the start and the hill all looked dry but there was loads of water at the finish, thats pretty localised weather! When Cancellara came round it was still very wet at the finish so the CN excuse for Lance is crap. I hope for his sake that he was just cruising yesterday or the tour is going to be very embarrassing for him.

    Lance was " certaintly" trying... I was close to the top of the climb and you could see the pain and effort on his face.
