With the rain Tejay may have already won it, unless the race jury decides to declassify riders that have received pushes from mechanics. |

Belgian commentators already whining that the finish should be after the first ascent of Alpe d'Huez 
As I was saying the other day, the descent is very dangerous, someone (Froome?) might crash.
Or even today, who knows.

Dont worry Froome wont feel the rain, he is so fast that he can drive between the rain and also his speed will make the road dry. |

TVG gets in and rain start pouring. Good for my bet then. 
So you're the 1 guy who betted on him? Nice 
The odds for Froome weren't worth it, and I though t that maybe since he hadn't ridden any climbs well, that he could be good for this, and with the odds, I only bet $3, but I can win over $100.

Van Garderen has the Stage win everyone after him will have wet roads. Also this could be good for Quintana he won the MTT from Pais Vasco in the rain.
Didn't win, but 2nd behind Martin isn't too bad.
Ups my bad, I though he won because he was ahead of the Sky boys |

If this will happen, my pre.Tour prediction will be right.

But pushes are normally not allowed in TTs. Especially not with tactical bike changes. |

With this weather Froome will win the TT by only 10 seconds instead of 2 minutes. |

Everyone who changed bikes in TdS got pushed and no one recieved a penalty for it. |

Also a huge flaw.
When you decide to switch bike when you are already at low speed due to tactical reasons - it goes against fair competition if you get a 5 sec push to start off with. |

Contador has always been at his best in rainy days.
If he sucks today the alps will be painful for him

The rain will make the Skybots spark. Water always beats robots.
Also amazing from Izagirre as always. I am always pleasantly surprised.

Jeannesson 35 seconds behind TVG at the final check, despite having ridden both the first descent and the second climb in rain. Impressive.

Izagirre is slowly becoming one of my favourite riders. Really love his all-rounder skills. |
