Nah, he's just taking it easy (or he's rubbish, one or the other!), given that Geraint Thomas has just put in the 2nd best time.

That's as maybe, but I really don't like Boardman's shirt!

I'm trying to watch this on ITV4's website, but after sitting through the ads I just get 'file not found'. Anyone else having better luck?

Can you spot which one has the secret motor hidden
in the seat tube

wiggins 45 sec down on (current*) lead time of just over 10 min - better hope that's because he's totally ready for the mountains, or he's toast
*Tony Martin - a bit of a monster
, wonder what old sportacus can do about him

Boardman isn't that tall but he's towering over the other presenter

What a ride by Cancellara! That man is so good, maybe it's his motor
Lance is looking very good, should be a very good tour.

Part of the motor innit. Not seen it but a few of the riders have custom plates on the jockey wheels to make it more aero.
Why's the commentator on about a battle between Contador and Armstrong, there was a guy between them on the podium last year.

I've just realised I travel to central France on the last day of the Tour
wonder if I can make a deTour to the Champs-ÉlyséesPosted 1 year ago # -
Got to admit I was a bit dissapointed with Wiggins. Not being biased because I'm Welsh, but did you see how fast ( in the wet ) and skinny Geraint Thomas was !! Perhaps a change of team leadership is in order.

because they were team mates last year

i thought the prologue results didn't actually count in the general classification, or am i completely wrong?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Wrong it does count and the yellow jersey wearer from the prologue quite often keeps it through the first few sprint stages based on that time in the prologue
Posted 1 year ago # -
ah, bugger. so wiggo HAS just dropped 56 seconds...
*the penny drops*
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yes but Cancellara loses time going up hills. Trouble is he's quick down then and awesome at timetrialling.Luclkly he loses lots more time in the high mountains
Posted 1 year ago # -
He's only lost 29 seconds to the man that matters.
Which is pretty bad for someone of his ability in a TT but not a disaster.
Posted 1 year ago # -
He was just holding back - no point sliding out on the 1st day, there's 3 weeks to come!
Posted 1 year ago # -
It's not bad if he has trained to sacrifice top end power to gain climbing speed though as the tour is won and lost in the high mountains
Posted 1 year ago # -
He just said that he was going slow on the corners so he didn't loose time with a crash.
