    I've always wanted to see a TTT hour attempt, distance converted to time for the standings. Time = 1hr + (distance behind winning team/average speed for your team) . So your time is however long it would have taken you to cover the distance of the winning team, at the speed you averaged.

    Quite daft really, but would be worth it to see the commentators struggling with the maths :-)

    I got a headache just reading it ... :shock:

    Where's the best place to get feeds? I don't understand why Eurosport don't allow online access for the people who subscribe to their TV channel, even Sky do this for their premium packages!

    You don't subscribe to eurosport TV though do you ? You subscribe to a service which includes eurosport. If you have it via Sky you can get it through their online offering.

    Cheers Jim, I didn't think it was available through Sky - that's my afternoon sorted then, things are a bit slow :(

    AG2R fastest so far.

    OK, only two teams have finished, but y'know, small victories...

    "Off go BMC, this is gonna hurt for Taylor Phinney, heavily strapped."

    Taylor said himself, "Feels like I'm at the end of the Giro already, feels pretty good today but it's strapped up"

    They've been riding upstream beside the river and have a climb at the moment. The second half is generally a slight downhill and would be the time to up the pace in any case.

    Garmin quickest at halfway point so far, 7 seconds quicker.

    Yeah Sky tend to pace TTT better than most. Garmin fastest and first under 10 mins at first split

    Was that Rasmussen dropped? He'd be in pink, no?

    Struggling to work out if Garmin are ridiculously quick - so a few are peeling away, or if they're beginning to struggle and lose time?

    Taylor Phinney is starting to struggle for BMC, feeling sorry for him.

    That was on the climb, he's back in the paceline now.

    Orica-Greenedge look very ragged, so are either having a mare or doing one hell of a ride.

    Good save by Phinney, but he's going to lose the jersey.
