The idea of a TTT is to NEVER to change speed. Maintain your speed always. If you're stronger than the others, take longer pulls. If you're weaker, take shorter pulls.
Cancellara pulled too hard and blasted his team apart. It's his fault he'll lose yellow. |

I think it is going to create an interesting situation - will Astana throw away Armstrongs yellow jersey! How is this going to work on Andorra.
You have to take your hat off to Armstrong to get into this shape! A bit lucky with what happened yesterday - but yes well done to Lance this is going to create headlines. |

Astana is 38 seconds ahead of Saxo Bank. I'm pretty sure we will have Armstrong in yellow by the end of the day. |

Cancellara is actually doing what you says......he is relaying long, but in nearly the same speed as the rest of the team... |

Oh, and what's the point of having O'Grady in the team? If he can't even do TTT's anymore, his only role is captain du route - and there are definitely other riders for that  |

Actually I have been since Columbia started....except it's in chinese so I don't understand any of the legends. So I have no idea what the gaps are. But I'm watching.
How the hell else would I know about Cancellara?? |

You were telling me time gaps. Plus the image quality sucks so it was nice to get to know who the dropped riders were |

So, Armstronng is already getting an extreme amount of media attention. With the yellow jersey, uh, it'll be crazier than ever. |

Also, has anyone else noticed how under a TT helmet, Zubeldia looks just like Lance. If not for all his special gear, I would say the Zubeldia is Lance. |

Evans is going to lose 2 and half to 3 minutes on Contador. The TTT really has destroyed his race. I guess he will have to try a few more attacks this year like he did in the dauphine.
Hell he has lost about 2 minutes on the Schlecks! |
