Too many mountains though. If the posted time gaps on CN are correct it's Leo Pards race to lose.

Not that i don't want him to win (i'm taking the 30:1 Cuddles for yellow), but he did get a break last year on the cobbled stage.

The crashes were nuts. Half the peleton went down when someone hit the spectator...

Garmin is bragging WAY TOO MUCH for a TTT that they won by 4 seconds. I believe their facebook update mentioned "crushing" it. I'm glad they won (something), and winning is winning. But a tt by 4 seconds is not crushing anything.

TD is out there right?

The effort probably crushed his immune system.

It's just marketing. If one of the riders were to say that, then yeah, I would agree. But in this case it's probably a person in the offices writing this stuff.

Two days in yellow for Thor, 2 out of 3 for Garmin. I wonder if he's feeling a little better about the team.

yeesh, Tyler almost lost it when he started celebrating and had to correct his handlebar. The only blemish in an otherwise brilliant win.

Also, Romain Fellieu was so much lower than Farrar. It seemed as if Tyler were sprinting from the hoods... Well, Rojas, too, for that matter

I think that picture is in the midst of their throws, and Farrar is just about crossing the line.

Awesome win today, really happy for Farrar.

go to the 10:40 mark and watch the finish. It's almost painful watching Farrar sprint

EVANS!!! (hey, i'll take a win for Cuddles wherever it may appear)

Looks like Cervelo will be on patrol duty for another day.

i think it matters in a head-to-head against Cavendish as Cavendish gets a lot lower. I'm very happy that Tyler got the win, but everything about the sprint was perfect. Say if he has to start sprinting from further away due to a less well organized lead out, position will matter.

Contador jumped just a hair too late. Good on cuddles for being aggressive.

Nice to see him setting up the moves for a change!
Though it would be nice to see him with some souplesse sometime...

Is anyone able to get the live feeds from cyclingfans to work? I've tried yesterday and today and I get nothing. Think it might be my work computer or something.

He's the man, for sure. Been rooting for him since he took second to Sastre. Serious ***** when he got pissed off enough to win the World Championship. Complete and total rager ever since.

Yeah, I think he just needed to gain some confidence. Now that he has it, it's actually starting to be fun to watch him go at it. Cause he attacks and all, ya know?
