    Damn, Vino just lost his bottle on the first corner. Not sure you are allowed to feed on this course.

    Castroviejo's visor looked like a comedy moustache on the start ramp.

    I had read that having the aero shape bottle in the frame gives an aero advantage

    Very bad luck – what a shame, as his last TT at the Tour was superb.

    Cant see Wiggins catching Cancellara given that Canc starts last!

    Burst on to the scene winning a nice TT in Romandie last year. Movistar snapped him up.

    Martin fastest and Wiggins 5 secs off.
