Evans looking strong, he has given it a few lashes but Wiggins seems to have his measure. I expect the Sky rider to put heaps of time into most if not all of the main GC contenders over this course. Wiggins, froome, cancellara, evans, martin all to be in the shake up.

buffalo · 09-07-2012, 08:52

Likewise, Wiggins will hammer this home. Rest day tomorrow for recovery, and then even if he fears that Evans will beat him in the mountains, he'll have a nice buffer.

Cancellara, Wiggins, Martin is my prediction. Highly original, I know.

Could be very original, depending on which Martin you mean ...

What time should I skive off work to see the sharp end of the TT?

And 40km will take them a little less than an hour, so everything will probably be done around 4.30pm, although Eurosport coverage doesn't end 'til 5.15pm.

Cancellara gave it his all on Saturday's stage in mountains but he definitely took it easier yesterday so he should be rested enough for today's TT.
Likewise Tony Martin took it easy enough yesterday but he has been nursing a few injuries from crashes so he mightn't be in tip-top shape.
I reckon Wiggins could win it.

Maybe somebody like Bert Grabsch could make the top 3 (he came 4th in UCI World TT in 2011) but it's hard to see past the trio of Cancellara, Wiggins and Martin.

AstraMonti · 09-07-2012, 11:34

Martin is leading by 13" at the the first checkpoint.

buffalo · 09-07-2012, 11:35

Anywhere to keep an eye on this? Text only. Millar's off at 11.11, would like to know how he does.

edit: Astra, where are you getting that from?

edit2: sweet, found the ticker - http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/2012/us/live/aso/

edit3: anyone else think the letour site this year is far more difficult to navigate than last year's?

CptMackey · 09-07-2012, 11:43

Ya the le tour site is muck this time round. I'm finding the app to be crap aswell
