Larsson "somehow" has suddenly made up 25 seconds on Martin. I wonder how he did that

From what I've seen sofar, he's pretty careful to not ride directly behind Cancellara except when needed to get around the curves.
Also, he's been dropped now... |

Yes Isso, this is a big problem.
Cancellara will catch Wiggins. That will mean that Wiggins will hang on, while he is slower than Moerenhout. And now Wiggins will pass Moerenhout thanks to Cancellara 
They should have made the differences bigger (3 minutes) |

100%, he was 2 seconds slower. But when Cancellara catches Wiggins, Wiggins can profite.

As I saw it on the last split, he was 1 second faster... He was no. 4 there...

Don't be sure about that one...If Wiggins gets caught soon he will probably hang on for a medal. |

Well he is losing terrain, and after Cancellara catches Wiggins Wiggins will suddenly win terrain, mark my words |

The standings just now makes Wiggins 0.14 ahead of Koos

In the straights he was in a straight line with Cancellara many times. Rules state he must ride on the opposite side of the road. He doesn't.

Yes, the TT should've started earlier in the morning and the last wave should've had larger intervals.

It doesn't look like Wiggins can hang on for a very long time... |

It's only natural that Wiggins is off form, but Grabsch is just disappointing. I'd expect him to be around 3rd-4th, but he's nowhere near.
And well done Zirbel! Looks like bronze.

This is just insane from Cancellara. He must have a motor in there somewhere. |

Well, Wiggins is not Contador.
Reassuring to see that his new found mountain legs have probably affected the way he goes against the clock. |
