I don't think you can say he failed in Spain. He had a broken collarbone 6 weeks earlier!! It's quite understandable he struggled in the last week with his fitness, you can't take that as a benchmark.

I go for EBH to win stage 1

Paolo Tiralongo jumps past Scarponi to take the win

Sky will be the penultimate team to go, Garmin just before them.

Under 3km on a flat stage the crashed rider doesn't have to across the line, unless it is the last stage. Remember Abdoujaparov's famous crash on the Champs Elysees in 1991. He still had to make it across the line to claim the green jersey.

Goobacks, do you know where you can get a pair of Inov's in Cape Town?

So what do you think the chances of Sky pulling off the double in the Tour this year?

It wouldn't work if he did the US show. The only reason Top Gear is a success is because it is on the BBC. No advertising, so Clarkson can say what he wants about the Cars and not worry about losing sponsors.

First off he is one of the greatest players to ever take to the field.... But why are the stats being combined from different formats of the game? You don't see this happening with other stats.

Order them quick before they all go

I think everyone is forgetting these are Fun Rides and NOT Races

BOOM!!!! Team Sky blow them all apart!!

Sundays stage will be live on DSTV

I think you might be looking at the wrong route for today, it looks like a flat finish to me. Should be a sprinter, if the break doesn't succeed. Will be a very interesting weekend, looks like some very tough climbs. Nibali will not be able to sit wheel all the time, he will have to make a move a some point. And I guess it will be on Sunday.

Go Wiggins

I do agree that Liquigas have the stronger team. But Sky will not need to ride on the front, just match the moves of Nibali. Then take over once all of Nibali's team mates have dropped off.

Oh you mean like how Sky got dropped on stage 9.

Wiggins 1 sec up at the first split

Martin 42 secs quicker at the first check

Cancellara sets the benchmark at 57:21 6 secs ahead of Phinney

So the question is.... how big will Wiggins lead be after the TT today? Not sure if he will win, could be Cancellara or Martin.

Just watch Wiggins destory them
