    You have to take in account that they have 3 weeks of brutal racing in their legs and especially the last 2-3 days have been hard.
    It was raining heavily at one point for Cancellara's TT (so that might influence his slow time), but someone on another forum worked out the last 7km for Cancellara, he did 71.4km/h, downhill & probably with a tailwind !!

    weather doesnt look to good for later on, hope andy wins, if only because he's getting way to much stick that he doesnt deserve.

    Nico has just set off. Although was looking down at his feet after leaving the off ramp, didn't seem to be clipped in properly.

    Vandevelde looked like someone was pulling his face back before he even got off the ramp.

    I felt that, and to be fair, he stayed on the bike, painfully.
