I'll be hoping for Sky because of Boasson Hagen. I'd love to see him in yellow.

There's a TTT world championship now, so the entire team get it on their jerseys

So itstead of riding with the rainbow jersey, Martin gets the honour of riding with a tiny badge the size of an ant?

Did he get dropped already? He was in the stage 1 crash
Also, people watching the teams doing recon said Contador was riding in a screwed up position to avoid injury pain and even then was suffering considerably
No surprise that he's dropped, he's probably one of the worst riders in the entire WT and he is in the team only because Cannondale wants American riders.
He has problems because he crashed. He's riding on a regular bike, no TT bike. |

Did Euskaltel crash on the ramp? Seems like the sort of thing they would do.

Cannondale were pretty close to Lotto at the intermediate as well. Doubt the OPQS time will stick against the stronger teams.
Edit: Seems cannondale cracked tho

So that's why no one uses their NC jerseys either?

But compare them or Argos and then it really holds up, with Lotto and Cannondale going really well.
It's such an easy route that a lot of teams will be very fast and close together in the end.

This course is a basically 2 long straights and 2 corners. So Powerhouse teams like Lotto obviously gonna do fine. |

Garmin 4" down at the intermediate but they are looking much more cohesive than OPQS were.

Think that is the fastest TTT ever at the TdF for OPQS but on a short, fast course as opposed to Discovery's 60 odd km effort in 2005
