    So 1st + 2nd in first TT = same in 2nd TT = same in GC.

    And ppl try and say watching Contador crush the field with balls out attacking...in the mountains is boring. Seriously.

    But he's a cheat. This is clean riding.

    Fantastic Wiggo!!! So Pleased!!!

    Went for a nice ride along the dunes in the sun and got back to see the last 10 cross the line - perfect way to view a TT!

    How can you tell? Because he''s so much better than everyone else? :P Wasn't the theory that races would be closer when people were clean?

    [And no, I don't think Bradleeeeee is dodgy]

    What's really strange to think about is, looking at how dominant Wiggins has been overall, if you went back to 2005 with this form he's probably finish 24'th or something

    Agreed.

    I'm a bit worried about Millar, he didn't sound too well. Will he be OK for next week?

    Harmon just excused himself from finishing the commentary on Eurosport as he was starting to cry!

    Wiggins totally smashed that TT, fantastic.

    Newbie here!

    Well done Wiggo, think that performance has just answered a number of his critics who believe Froome should/could have won.

    Also just fallen off my chair at a Eurosports commentator remarking "how excited people are discussing the width of Bradley's ring" :D

    Chuffed!

    I know they don't like to be separated, but that's taking it to extremes (and I'm not quite sure how the pedalling would work either).

    Like this.

    Haha, yes, just like that. And, on the plus side, as the Schleck's don't like descending, they could take it in turns to go on the back, so they can't see the downhill view.

    Wiggins for Olympic TT gold?

    Hopefully at the world championships as well. He seems to be having the year of his life.

    Very impressive performance from Wiggins, what a year he's had.

    Shame nobody was able to challenge him though. This tour has had great moments, but it's not been a great race.

    Threads which will tell you results. The reasoning being, some people will only watch the stage in the evening and won't want to know the result.
