That gap had to be expected but I am kinda glad that Valverde and Quintana could finish at the front of our team so that they did not lose unnecessary seconds.
Hopefully, the gap can be closed in the mountains...

So that's the "lose time in order to be letaway in a break"-phase well done with for us.
We didn't bring any of our best TT'ers so it's hardly surprising that the worst TT'ers of Euskaltel ride a really bad TTT.

Same here, didn't come for the TTT like we did in Giro.
Maybe upload your save game so someone can take a look at the problem?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Diego Johnson writes history!!!
And what a TTT from our team
Now it is for Nibali to keep the gap.
And who is the maillot jaune(GC leader)?Nibali?Johnson?Someone else like Kangert?
EDIT:It should be Gerrans beacuse of his solo win

Quick question: how do the points work for TTTs? Do all of my riders get the same amount of points or what?
Nice ride by BMC anyway. I doubt that handful of seconds will mean anything but Tejay's right where he needs to be for now.

Lampre surprised me by putting in such a good TTT and Ahmed Al Mohney looks really good in his NC jersey too |

Only the team gets points there

Good TTT by Katusha, not loosing too much time. I'd have liked a picture with all my riders in it so I could've seen all my NCs but that's only a minor complaint.
On the other hand great picture of Al Mohney in the Qatari NC. |

Jeez, Contador did not finish with the other Saxo riders (again: boy is too weak in this db). o_O
Yup - maybe this is a sign that PCM considers Kreuziger to be the team leader. But anyway an pretty unexpected and equally fantastic 4th place for the boys, with a handy 18 (15 if you're Contador) seconds over Froome.exe!

Le Tour de France
This will be a stage for the sprinters, but a hilly portion towards the end could separate some riders if the pace is high enough.
Nick Nuyens is the first to attack. He is uncontested over the first mountain point.
He is soon joined by Jeremy Roy and Pablo Lastras. The Frenchman wins the sprint.
Andre Greipel passes the sprint as first out of the peloton.
Roy passes first on the 2nd and 4th climbs, while Lastras takes the 3rd.
The break is caught very late, with just 2.5km to go. This means there is no sprint organisation, and all of the big men go early.
Even before the Flamme Rouge most riders are spent. Greipel holds a firm lead, while it looks like a battle of will for 2nd place between Marcel Kittel, Matthew Goss and Arnaud Demare.
But Kittel comes through with an extraordinary burst of speed! Surely Greipel can't get back with just 300m to go.
And he won't. Kittel takes his stage win, while Demare is 3rd, meaning that it's the first stage where Orica-GreenEDGE don't take a podium place.

At least Kristoff made it into the top 10, but being beat by Thor Hushovd is just embarrassing |

Really? I'd be more worried about being beaten by that great sprinter Valverde.
Go Thor!! Prove your doubters wrong.
@Cycleman, why no GC? We really would like to see the GC.
