Quite interesting results, especially Wiggins, he gambled on an early start to avoid the rain, but hit the worst of the weather, ITV4's coverage of his ride showed him taking the corners incredibly slowly, he'll be a bit dissapointed with 77th @56 seconds. His interview didn't show him to be too upset, so there is another possibility, he's lost weight since the Giro where he won the prologue, could he have furthered his transformation from pursuiter to mountain goat and this is the result, a reduced ability on shorter TT's, we'll find out soon enough.
Pleased to see Geraint Thomas up there too, I'd placed a £2 bet on him and was set to get £130 back if he placed in the top 3, all going well until Millar & Lance finished.
Tyler Farrar looks to be flying with a top 10, so should be interesting in the sprints this year with a below par Cav probably unable to dominate.
Looking forward to the first week, seems like bad weather, crosswinds, cobbles, no boring stages this year, there could be a few high profile victims fightingh to keep themselves within touch of the yellow jersey.
