Tour De France 2011

Not sure what's happening here...
Lots of riders interspersed with the peleton registering a time of 00.06., even among riders with 01.20. Was that last crash within the final km, so they all get given the same time? If so, why the six seconds? I saw Wiggins trickle in in the Contador group, but he's registered as 00.06.
Anyone?
Andyp?
Linky to what I'm rabbiting about.

The second crash was within 3km and stage 1 was one of the stages where the rule on crashes applies (there are exceptions on climbing finishes) and the riders falling there got same time as Thor group.
The original crash victims got no 'bonus', so the when the joint group rolled in together they got different times depending on where they fell off.

Team time trial starting order anyone???

It'll be reverse order of the team classification, so reverse this list;

Is there anywhere that I can stream highlights from?

^ just tried itvplayer, they havent put it up yet, but they did last year. you get it a day late.

Ahh that's alright, I don't mind waiting. I thought they might not put it up at all.

^^^ Thanks andyp.. I'm racing in the morning and hope to be back for the big guns.

THIS is why BBC should be in charge, would be as soon after the actual programme finishs on iplayer not 24hrs later after.

It's probably a contractual thing because of other broadcasters (eurosport). BBC have the same thing with the footie. They can only put highlights up two days after I think.

They are now online and I just finished watching them, but yes slightly annoying that it's not online immediately.

Not sure whether this will work in the UK, but the Aussie broadcaster has a live stream that is really good quality. Little flash link on the left of the main image to watch... obv not right now though.

Is there any North Londoners watching this in a pub on a regular basis, be good to get a mob together

How much more time is Contador going to lose today then? :P

keep scrolling down till you are opposite the fdj team list

Thanks for the replies, chaps.

Geraint Thomas rode like a boss yesterday. Will he be in yellow today? And if he is, will he be protected for a bit or will they stick him on the front to slave for Wiggo?

Anyway, this time split will really make the Tour interesting. After the booing on Friday and trickling in 1.20 down yesterday, Bertie seems ready to lob in the towel already!

Phone app from Skoda has comprehensive results and bite-size (3 min) video highlights.

"Gilbert humbled everyone with the equivalence of pulling down his pants to reveal a 13incher. #YIKES"

sorry, just popped by. how much left of today's stage?

All of it, pretty much.

Euskatel just starting now

FFS if you can't ride on the skis on a long open straight then why bother with TT bike? we have kids on the talent team with better technical skills than some of these bods!

Sky/Garmin/Saxowank for the top 3?
