Looking at the results as of now :
Looks like there could be max. 3-minute swings between overall contenders. Especially Lance, Wiggo, Klödi beating Fränk by that margin with a good ride. |

3 minutes is probably about right... though if Frank has a performance like he did in the last TT of last year's Tour I could see 4 minutes. |

Yep. Could go upto 4 mins if Fränk has a shocker! And on really bad day Andy could lose 2½ minutes, but more likely is 1:30 to 2:00. |

Zabriskie riding about same splits as Millar (slightly ahead in every split). Good downhill section could bring him close to Ignatiev, but probably can't beat Russian. |

What are the starting gaps between the leaders? Still 2 minutes, or up to 3? |

Looks like the climb got Zabriskie. Pretty big fade off the pace. |

Well, this will not likely be any better result than he rode in TT of last year's Giro. So, not really. |

Larsson faster than Cance in 2nd split (but hits the Cote now), Martin also in touch (2 secs back from Fabian). |

Actually, that one doesn't really count because the last 60 riders in that TT rode against a strong headwind, which is why the results stood as they were.
As much as I'd like to believe Pinotti won because he was better on the day, he didn't |

Menchov 1:51 back in 1st split. A tour to forget
At least Ballan beats him for the "Most Anonymous Team Leader"-award... |
