I dont know the incident but
I heard on the radio that someone had calculated the drag and thinks that may have lost him the most exciting TT ever.
I'd suggest you say that to Fignon's face, but sadly you can't.
That. It was still wonderful to hear him commentating right up to the end though
Come on Chris!!!

This is the most exciting TT ever!
only 5 secs (27 at first, 22 at second)
😳 - was looking at Wiggins time at first split.
Anyway Zubeldia and Menchov still losing time to him - though given the margins it does look like he went off a little fast (Sky couldn't possibly be sneaky enough to have told him to go off a little hard for tactical reasons could they?)
15km to go for Wiggins...
Wiggins is 1'20" ahead of Evans with 15km to go in the stage.
😯
Froome's elbows go right to the top then. Sub 52, rapid stuff.
Froome gets first by 22 secs, now for his team mate!
Wiggins is 15s up on Froomes split..
Cancellara looked like he was flying as well - he thought he'd got it.
Evans upto 6th tho, is he making a late comeback?
Froome now 4s off the overall podium on the road at 2nd split and only 19s off second place. Matched Cancellara to the finish when he was flying, so you'd have to reckon on him taking those gaps...
Great stuff!!

Come on [s]Andy[/s] Bradley

Has anyone caught a rider in front of them today?
Evans upto 6th tho, is he making a late comeback?
Still losing time to the Sky boys though - just not as much as he did on first split, or as much as others are.
TdF drinking game - every time a rider "battles with their machine" you have to drink.
Apparently Chris Froome is from Kenya (drink) he was born at 6000ft (drink)!
Froome now onto the overall podium at the end of the stage, 16s up on Nibali - waiting to see if he'll pass Cuddles.
...that will be a no - Cuddles finishes very strongly to lead Froome by 14s on overall.
😆
Froomedog on the podium now in the GC?
Wiggins wins 35s ahead of Froome !
1m43s
😀
51:24 for Wiggo.
I think that's 1:55 over cuddles, and then another few (<10s) to Froome
[edit - Evans has 14s to froome, 1:53 behind Wiggo]
Awesome 😀
Well that couldn't have gone much better.
Don't use the word much but: awesome!
Drugs innit! They make you tetchy which explains yesterdays interview!
British 1,2!
unbelievable ! 😯
Not much fat on that Froome laddie.
Jesus, that is a drubbing .... he might just do it....
titus (bradley doubter)
Wow !!
Fantastic stuff
I think that's 1:55 over cuddles, and then another few (<10s) to Froome
I make it Cuddles at 1:43, Froome at 2:07
wow!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 minutes lead in the GC after a week is almost obscene!
1. WIGGINS Bradley 39h 09' 20''
2. EVANS Cadel + 01' 53''
3. FROOME Christopher + 02' 07''
4. NIBALI Vincenzo + 02' 23''
5. MENCHOV Denis + 03' 02''
I'll stick my neck out for my 2p prediction: Wiggo 1st Froome 2nd
and I didn't doubt it for a second
Wow. 😯
Couldn't have gone better. Fantastic.
Froome on the podium in Paris too?
Biggest threat might be Nibali at 2:23. You'd bet on him being more likely to be capable of an exploit in the hills to pull that back.
Also it's worth checking out the result of stage 1 - if it wasn't for that Froome would only be 42s back on GC.
So who is Chris going to ride for next year? Just booked hotel to be in the crowd at the final TT in Chartres 😀 .

Team justgofaster had a good day. Still safely in the middle of the crowd though.
