    Wiggo 37 secs down on Martin. is this Game Over?

    It's a very long, flat course. Definitely a day to "ride to power" for the first half and then wind it up, which is Wiggo's style.

    I'd never bet against Martin in a TT though.

    My prediction is that Wiggins will overtake Cancellara but remain a long way behind Martin

    He's going to swap to a MotoGP bike for the last 20km?

    According to a Sky reporter, Wiggins specifically asked for no info from team car, wont know current splits and doesnt want to know

    He's said this before that he doesnt like getting info because he's been 'lied to' before

    If Wiggins managed to win this now it would go down as one of the best TTs in many a year.

    Looked like Brad was picking up time on both Canc and Martin in that last shot.

    why is Cancellara the reference? Surely the obvious reference should be the fastest guy...

    We would nt let your comment to Rat man go though :P

    Weirdly the NOS guys seem to like TTing...

    Wiggins may be slightly closing on Cancellara, but Cancellara is still losing time to Martin.

    People are definitely being premature in writing Wiggins off at this point.

    This way they can have + and - signs instead of just + signs, thus confusing the BBC commentators.

    He's also shifting about in the saddle compared to the other two.

    and green and red too. That's two thinks they have to think about, that's clearly two things too many

    FFS BBC guys... he's not pulling Martin back, he's pulling Cancellara back! The gap to Martin has been stuck on roughly 35s for ages.
