That's a real shame, although it means a little less pressure on Sky to work too hard until the mountains. Silver lining and all that...0

To be fair, it was a "Disney-fied" version of a TTT. People want the spectacle of a TTT but aren't prepared to stomach the time losses which can result from doing it properly.
23km is a good commute, not a stage.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
great TTT. And I'm so glad for that crash yesterday because now we have a competition! Without it, would anyone bet against contador?0

Thomas doesnt get yellow but keeps white. Navadauskas would have taken it from him had he finished with the other Garmin riders but he got sacrificed along the way and is now 57 seconds in arrears.
He should keep it tomorrow as long as there are no time gaps and as long as he doesnt finish a lot of places behind EBH. Might be tougher to keep it on the fourth stage though.
1. Thomas

One for the geeks...
Thor has worn the rainbow jersey, the polka dot jersey and now the yellow jersey. Who was the last rider to do the same? Can he get a day in green as well? If so, has anyone ever worn all four jerseys in the same season?
BTW, I don't have the answers.0 -
if chinny rode on his own he wouldn't finish last
saxo did quite a decent ride all told... if he hadn't lost the time yesterday he would be pretty happy with that. but its all adding up.
its good for BMC, Sky and the race they didn't get the jersey.
Gesink and Basso could be a real problem for bertie in the hills"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0 -
Cancellara. Hero.
Brought Frank & Andy Schleck to within 5 seconds of Garmin.

My money would be on someone like Hinault or Merckx...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
