Yes, but I'm a Dutchman 
But yeah, impressive, but Weening is more of a surprise than Porte today, since Porte was already great at Paris - Nice

Ok I'm actually starting to believe Sky is clean when superduper climber Weening can stand within 40 seconds of them after 5 days of Pais Vasco.
The earlier Weening could never even finish within 4 minutes |

Obviously, it's the other way around 
Weening improved a lotSpoiler considering his age it would of course make sense 
I mean, he can even almost keep up with the Sky Train

Well Porte's a great time triallist so I can't see him losing this, unless Sky wants Henao to take victory.

It would be a huge surprise if they lost time to Froome, given that he is not racing .Seriously though, they won't stand a chance against Porte, they can only fight for the podium.
With the form Contador is showing, I don't see Porte losing the GC, Contador could probably make it to 2nd/3rd place though.
We have to see how Tony feels tomorrow though, whether or not he fully recovered from his crash on stage 1.
edit: I see you fixed it now

Peraud lost 3 minutes today. Really sad to see, as I'm guessing it could be because of yesterday's crash. A big shame for him, as a podium really seemed to be within reach.
And also, a certain Luxemburger abandoned...

and certain Taaramäe..they are at the same club with Luxemburger. If this will continue..Cofidis should not let him race at TdF (ironic is ..that first time at history national TV bought TV rights for TdF..that everyone can follow TdF. Bad PR for cycling..popularity and specialy knowledge is already low as possible). |

Peraud isn't injured or anything. He had problems with his chain on the foot of the last climb. |

Tomorrow Porte will ride as good as Martin. Nothing suspicious, just marginal gains and good development. |

tomorrows TT is so hilly and technical I doubt the climbers don't stand a chance. It's similar to last years ITT where guys like Rodriguez even did very well (top 10), and Mollema nearly won |

Looking good for a podium for Spilak. Took a half minute on Henao in last year's timetrial which was shorter. I expect Quintana to lose about the same time as Henao so the Colombians shouldn't stand a chance. Quintana was faster as Spilak on Col d'Eze but this is totally different.
Danger might come from behind in Sammy Sanchez.
Peraud would have taken that podium spot though hadn't he lost time.
Hadn't he a technical at the foot of the final climb on the first stage aswell? I remember Betancur dropping back, luckily he stayed at the front today.
