Gary Rabie Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Weather is looking great for today's prologue. The team presentation was packed in Trafalgar square, so instead of joining the 50 000 storng crowd I made my way to the team buses and got a chance to speak to Andreas Kloden, Stuey O'Grady and the hometown favourite for the prologue, Braddley Wiggins. Decent chaps I must say. London is packed, but the atmosphere is electric.

linnega Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Canc can't go for yellow past the first mountain stage as he can't climb. We saw that already in Switzerland. No doubt he will try hang around for the TT's though, and try to hang onto yellow for the next 4 stages at least.
Gary Rabie Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 The prologue was awesome. Watched the entire thing live on the far corner of the course as they turned right after having crossed the Serpentine. Robbie McEwan seemed to enjoy his ride while you could really see the speed of the likes of Kloden and Cancellara. Will try and get out of London today by train to watch the stage on the road.
