    No, Froome will hold a bit back so it doesn't look like he is doping :roll:

    You think Chris is doping? :shock:

    Err, no I don't. That was supposed to be sarcastic, should have made that more clear!

    I doubt anyone else will go under 37 minutes.

    No. I predict 30-50 seconds down

    Good for Tony Martin. love his TT style, so efficient.

    I think Froome will finish about 30 seconds shy of his time. Watch for Porte as well.

    Downhill and wind assisted.

    I'll stick my head above the parapet now, I sadly don't think Tony M's time is fast enough to win. The wind will pick up again this afternoon and the later riders will get a good push towards the Mont.

    A good indicator will be Millar's time.

    Froome for the win.

    Wind from which direction? Why would the breeze pick up going out to sea in the afternoon?

    He will pip Martin by 2 secs

    I hope they don't make Tony sit in 'hot seat' for the next four hours.

    My work station is great today... Test match special on the headphones, letour.fr live coverage and bikeradar.

    Do any of the expats have a un protected link to the cricket? Radio preferred..?

    Sounds like Cav had pi55 thrown at him during the TT. Not nice.

    BBC website? Or if you're abroad try ABC radio in Aus.

    Or good old fashioned World Service?

    Martin at 10:21, Millar at 10:58 (so 37 not 39 as I originally put).

    Reports that some spectators thought Cav took the pee in yesterday's finish so gave him some back by soaking him in urine.

    For whoever said Martins time wasn't fast enough to win
    @Doctor_Hutch A 54.25kph TT finish for Martin. Not a record, quite, (that's still LeMond's 54.54 from 1989) but very, very fast

    Official site seems to be measuring the time difference from Tuft's time (rather than Martin's) at the first timecheck... presumably a data glitch

    Like me... except 'work station' might be misleading in my case :lol:
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Whats the start time gap between riders, does Froome have a chance of overtaking Valverde ?

    Hmm, BBC Radio blocked by work :(

    ...but not on work Wifi it seems - god bless Smartpohones. Who's the Aussie bloke? Don't recognise him from the 12th Man..?

    They mentioned earlier that if you have the BBC iPlayer app on your phone you could listen through that. If you have a fancy phone that is.

    Millar ends up 2m 34 behind in 7th.

    Hopefully saving a number two for Alberto
