Wow... Andy just made a pretty big statement. Losing 30-40 seconds here over the top GC contenders is WAY better then most expected. |

Rogers had a crash yesterday while he was riding the course, not sure if that effected him to much but it wasn't his best. |

He'd never done wind tunnel testing before, so it's due to an improvement in his position, not an increase in power. That means his climbing won't be better than usual.
So, it's unlikely he can take back on Contador all of the time he's going to lose in time trials. |

Perhaps I'm wrong, but he's one of the few guys who I think could take a few minutes from Contador in the mountains... but I thought he'd lose 6-8 minutes in the time trials so it wouldn't matter.
If he only loses a couple of minutes in the TT's... he might have a shot. |

Same here. But I think it's unlikely he'll take the 4 minutes or so he'll lose in TTs. |

Luis-Leon Sanchez is going surprisingly badly - nearly 1 minute down at the check
Edit: Beat me to it Ruben
