TDF stage 2 TTT ***SPOILERS***

ddraver

Just in case an unmarked thread is started....

Anyone watching, Saxo bank just off, Sporza following AC rather than the whole 9 man team thus far

fidbod

Saxo look ragged

fast as fupp

berties getting booed all the way around the course by those dastardly frenchies!!

emadden

Lots of booing for the Saxos on one of the bends

ddraver

saxo have lost one...

I can't understand the Dutch and the bloody french commentators are talking so fast I can't follow it without concentrating only on them and not the pictures!

ITV4 feed not working at all!!!!

If you're watching NOS it's pretty much men sitting in a pub grunting and whinging about stuff.

Go listen to Sporza. You'll get a good idea by their tone, if nothing else. :P

redddraggon

Although Saying that, I can only see 6 Saxo riders now, so they must have lost three.

StageWinner

Yup , Saxo down to 6 riders now

RichN95.

Ha! A massive cow banner in a field. There will be a lot of that this Tour

Garmin lost about 8 seconds in the final 5km based on the pace that they were going. Still massively quick though.

Alberto after TTT: you can lose the #tdf everyday, but it is won in the mountains

frenchfighter

He asked his soigneur to bring a yellow watch with him to the finish yday

Will Wiggins want Thomas to take yellow? He probably wont take it by much and Sky could have to defend it for a week.

S. Roche firmly pinning his colours to the post there re Contador - "great Champion... controlled all his life... 16 controls in Giro... we should give him the benefit of the doubt"


P.S. I am actually a Contadope fan
