And so to the time trial.
I predict;

1. Froome

2. Wiggins

3. Cancellara

But only coz Bradley is gonna let him win coz he's so nice

 

[kaiser]

Wiggins will win, probably the most capable TT'r left. Froome benefited I think from the previous time trials rolling hills. I don't think he'll be as close to Wiggins this time. I'd expect maybe even Evans to have a good ride too. Oh and Cancellara left the tour last week, he'd need to motor some to come third .

I'll go for

1.Wiggins
2.Evans
3.Van Garderen

definately wiggins then froome today, after that who knows???

looking good so far. van garderen may just do 3rd in the TT today.

and it's on ITV1 as well... bonus!

Cancellara gone home? :shock: must have the one stage i missed
Didn't think i'd heard him mentioned for a few days

That was some seriously sh*t hot time trialing :shock:

I'll leave it at that until after 8.00pm

Wiggins smashed it totally

 

[kaiser]

So much for Evans outside the top 50 I've read. Anyway well done Wiggins, despite my reservations about Sky, it is good to see a brit win, in fact its amazing. Robert Millar inspired me to take up road cycling, hopefully Wiggins will bring in a whole new generation of homegrown talent. And as much as the GC battle was a bit lack lustre Sky's domination did allow some cracking stage battles.
