Well, that was more exciting than expected (despite the drawback of watching it in Swedish) - but I feel it was a more a bad time trial for Contador than a good time trial for Schleck.
And apparantely there was a high head wind later on - if so, thats a shame for Wiggins.

Please tell me you are not going through Denmark. That would be a tragedy in the making.

Slight problem with that game, in that after today or maybe tomorrow morning, I probably wont be online for a week So guess away, but you will likely never know if you were right.

Gotta say Norway. Finland would be too far off.
But presuming you are driving, does that not mean you have already been in Denmark? And by deduction, you must have used a motorway and thusly probably passed within 2 miles of my existance. And you didn't stop by for a coke and a spanking? Im disappointed.

Flew to Sweden. Transportation by boat for the rest of the trip.

Short flyover to the glorious nation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea?
On a lighter note: seriously bad day from Contador. Nowhere near last year's form, but still the strongest throughout this year's Tour. Scary!
And agree with Guido: the aim of Le Tour is to be in yellow after three weeks. That needs skill as well as luck. Therefore, the best rider will be in yellow, and it is Contador

I got a feeling Contador will be a lot more dominant next years Tour.
This year he didn't have it. I think he overdid it a bit in the spring.
The extreme weather this year also contributed.
This year was one of the worst for people with pollen allergies. I am one of the few unlucky ones and have had a truelly shit year since March. So I can imagine Contador being a few % off his best

meanwhile back on topic
Contador wins the TDF by the same margin that he gained over Schleck in the controversial 15th stage (the one where he had the mechanical)
go go go conspiracy theorists |

about TT..
I was surprised that Contador did not looked confort at all on he's bike.
and he actualy was in the limit.
to long? windy day? he does not like new bike?
Edit: Strange reality check for me. Contador basicaly riding in the same team where he started (Liberty). Every year we expecting he's move. But I dont believe he is going anywhere..(Once guy)

Basically I've spent the entire year praying for rain. Yet it's been the driest year I can remember.
I've had to resort to taking allergy medication sprays, which I never do
