Tour de France 2009

that result is a joke.

Can't see Wiggins taking time out of anybody tomorrow or up Ventoux.
Sad but true

That was outrageous. I didn't think Contador was a good TTist.
He's consistently won time trials throughout his career, so I'm not sure where this myth comes from that he can't time trial. He can. He's one of the best TTers in the world.

No one did.Not even him.
Wink wink...

That was pretty impressive from Contador, Lance was pretty amazing too...

i am waiting for the punch line

he thrashed everybody including Wiggins at Paris Nice TT, and he's the national spanish champion.

but still people question it, bizarre.

Electronic timing being questioned.

Wiggins' time may improve.

Questions over Wiggo's timing.... could be interesting.

I didn't know to be honest, it just seemed to be understood everywhere that he would lose time on the TT.

damn, my sniper missed cuntador at the second check point... i really hate him now..

well, not by anyone that has seen him ride a TT this year.
the Schlecks were due to lose time, maybe you're lumping him in with them as he's a climber

That's probably it.

Contador!
Si senyorrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

oh well, not really the result i was hoping for but was nice to bump into Fluff in italia uno - the pear tart in their was a good result though ;)

**NEWSFLASH - mikec now biggest threat to Contador's chances of winning Le Tour '09**

From cyclingnews.com:

"While Contador shored up his lead in the general classification, he also claimed stage win honours in the picturesque town of Annecy. Fastest at the first intermediate check and then fastest at the second - by an incredible 30 seconds - it seems like there will be no stopping the man from Pinto who rode more like a **Lamborghini **today."

^lol

Electronic timing being questioned.

Wiggins' time may improve.

Where is this reported? Any more news?

Lance to go up Ventoux with wings.....

Greg Lemond (in Le Monde) has kicked off at Contador with some numbers; his climb at Verbier (8.5km @ 7.5% in 20.55 mins) means he must have the highest VO2 max ever recorded.
