    He missed his start time.

    Frank Schleck just started, a big dissapointment this week.

    Lots of people talking like this TT will decide the winner, which it probably will...but is the final stage not hard enough to cause a seletion if a couple of the pure climbers go hard at it?

    That's a decent time from Thomas De Gendt...beating Geraint Thomas!

    get in Bradley!!!! That will show some haters whether you can still be bothered. Committed? I think so.

    As much as i'd love to see Brad win, I think Tony Martin will go quicker.

    My thoughts exactly. I'm not his biggest or Skys bigest fan, but to knock his commitment is laughable. He's really up for this.

    Martin is flying, making Wiggo's (brilliant) effort look poor!

    Martin catching his two minute man. Nice tow off the Astana car too- not that he really needs it the way he is going!

    I was comparing him to Martin who is in a different league today, 20secs over a 27km route!? I wasn't knocking Wiggin's time, it was very good given the competition.

    Wiggo to be 3rd overall tonight behind Martina and Kloden- unless I have that completely wrong.

    Very good ride by Brad - close but no cigar (again). Martin's ability against the clock getting better all the time - look out Chinny!

    With any luck Martin's will feel that effort more than Wiggo in the mountains tomorrow.

    Good stuff from Wiggo, I honestly thought to go for him on PTP GC but thought Sammy Sanchez would be a safer bet :(
    As last year I appear to be sh*te at the PTP, I pick the right person on the wrong day :wink:
    Mind you picked Wiggo today!

    Looks like a springboard for attacks by Radioshack, Euskaltel, Saxo Bank - Wggins & Martin will have their hands full defending their positions tomorrow.

    Wiggo actually covered the climb & run off to the finish as quick as Martin.
    A VERY well paced effort from BW
    so many cols,so little time!

    Why doesn't Michael Rodgers have World Champ bands around his sleeves? He did win it 3 times after all. Sky only have it if Wiggins wins it? 8)
