I really can't see why it was Gomez fault, he was in the back of the pack, and Menchov was in a really bad position, when side wind came.

Can anyone but Millar win this stage today?
Seriously, the course does suit him, but then again it doesn't exactly not suit Cancellara. I hope Cancellara doesn't win, but if he doesn't win, realistically speaking, I doubt it will be Millar who does.
Obviously, there is always hope, Go Millar!

i'm going Millar/Cancellara. I see both perfectly able to win. The edge goes to Cancellara.
So my head - Cancellara
I hope - Millar

It's all on whether Cancellara is in form or not. If he is then he wins. There is no question as to whether Millar is or not, because he has been aiming for this TT all year.
I don't quite know how to take Cancellara's attack during the closing stages of Stage 2. It may have been a way of him saying "look at me, I'm a man in form", but then again, it didn't work, so hopefully that is a sign that he isn't quite where he wants to be at the minute.
I still think it will be a suprise winner, but Millar winning would be great He's about due a win

I don't want to get too excited, because we're used to failure, but it's looking very good

good ride by Pate, Vandevelde could surprise with a top 5 or so today.
Guido, I think if a GC contender gets yellow he just wont chase breaks to defend yellow.

He might crash
Plus Millar leaves almost an hour after Cancellara so he knows what time he has to beat, that's one small advantage

Jens Voigt is powering his way down the course
Just passed Julian Dean. Robbie Hunter's time was impressive as well
Unfortuantely Eurosport commentary is a few seconds behind the video I'm watching I think I can live with it I suppose though.

Voigt is flying up by 34 seconds on Chavanel, who now leads at the finish, at the second check

Saunier Duval-Scott is the only team that has not a team bus but a monster truck. It allows the riders to warm up on a platform atop the bus, some two metres above the ground.
