    So, after the early "excitement", nothing much to happen for the next 3 hours?

    Interesting stat from the live ticker.

    Before today Bert Grabsch was 175.98km behind Contador in real terms, whereas Contador has a lead of 87.9 metres over Andy

    Biggles is having a bit of a howler of a TT.

    But like Millar said, today is not about being the best tester, it's about who's got the most left in the tank.

    Ironic the best time is by the best tester at the moment.

    It says a lot that Mr Boom-bastic lost 10 mins today, one of the slowest so far

    I know it's obvious from his results, but Wiggins really does look like he was born to TT.

    (watch him now be 1 min down at first checkpoint)!

    Chavanel's been awarded most combative rider of the Tour. Wouldn't disagree with that.

    Yeah, picking Wiggo for PTP wasn't a great idea.

    Wow, that's the best form I've ever seen Andy have in a TT. Not quite Fabian's pistons, but very good form.

    Did Contador leave a second early?

    Contador gets so much lower than Andy. That aero advantage will be hard to overcome.

    The tour ticker, for once, is far better than tv coverage. Useless on the splits.
