    Good work done in that field...one of the better displays thus far this year!
    It was awesome.
    Think the standard is not as good this year though.

    May as well only televise the top 10 in TTs, it's like watching paint dry when they show some middle marker who won't win the stage and who is 30 minutes down on GC :(

    Did Martin get the puncture before or after the first checkpoint?

    Did Martin change bikes then? I heard he rode a bit on flat but no mention of actually stopping, so assumed he got a flat almost at the finish and just rode on.

    Ah never mind, feed now says Martin punctured just before 1st checkpoint and it cost him about 30 seconds. Gutting to have it happen twice!

    Goss tweeted that he should have had a better gear then a 42-23 for the climbs and Renshaw responded that at one point he was full gas doing 56 rpm.

    There's been a few look like they were caught out. I wonder if that was what Wiggins almost said yesterday when talking about it being a technical course but stopped himself?

    So... what's Chav been doing to his time trial skills? Pity he can't climb.

    The leader of Saur-Sojasun has one of the most extreme positions for the time trial: the top of his aero handlebars are 42.5cm from the axle of his front wheel.

    How much time do you all reckon Wiggo will take out of the others, then? I think 45" from Evans and 1'45" from Nibbler.

    Haha. Coppels position always looks nuts.

    The Locomotive is in motion.

    Chavanel continuing to perform on a great level in the TTs.

    If Cuddles keeps it under 30s he'll be delighted. Nibs? Less than 2mins probably a win.
