lance Armstrong comes back strong.
he looked a man focused and he rode very well. Atm he has the best time(although we have Cancellara and the gang to come so it won't hold). Looked as if he could even break sub 20 time

I am so pleased. If lance comes back strong, this tour is gonna be war

What a start to the race!!!

I have never experienced such a exciting start to TDF and brilliant finish in the end. Cancellara What a champion he is Absolutely demolished everyone Overtook Menchov even

And Alberto Contador Doc you said he is bad time trialist He is a champion, even two years back he took everyone by surprise

Brilliant leaderboard. Remember, Lance is on 10th Astana rulez for now.




TDF

Ok, not as exciting a stage as yesterday. The breakaway didn't succeed and for me(damn!!) Ten Sports decided that showing India WestIndies Highlights is more important than TDF. So had to settle for online stream and that ain't good to appreciate the scenery


The breakaway didn't succeed, no major incidents, accept Frank Schleck had a crash. No damage done

Cavendish is unbeatable when it comes to sprint.

Final Tally :
1. Mark Cavendish (GBR) THR - 187km in 4h30’02" (41.55km/h)
2. Tyler Farrar (USA) GRM
3. Roman Feillu (FRA) AGR
4. Thor Hushovd (NOR) CTT
5. Yukiya Arashiro (JAP) BBO

Today's stage
Marseille -> La Grande-Motte - 196.5 km



Pretty much a sprinter's day. No climbs as such so expect a major sprint at the end. lots of sprint points for the taking though

“There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to do and not doing it.”

missed yesterdays stage aws it being sunday.

it was wonderfull timetrial rightly said safin.

i still think it will be difficult from contador in TT but he rode one hell of a ride on day one.

but Cancellera was awesome.

Tensports was awefull as they kept on putting adds when the critical finish line apprach was there. they even missed contador finish .

i am looking at schedule of neosports and going to subscribe it there goes 180/- plus taxes

THis is what cycling is all about.
What looked like a dull race, turned into a superb race thanks to the crosswinds

I am just surprised what Contador, Evans were doing Getting Armstrong get away with it Armstrong now has a 16 second lead over Contador

I wonder what he will do with such lax attitude in the mountains. Suddenly Lance is a serious contendor.


As usual Cavendish

Team Trial finished yesterday, and as expected Astana won What was a bit surprising was that Columbia(Cavendish's team) did so badly
Overall the superb performance of Astan means that Armstrong is now seconds away from Cancellara for the yellow jersey, which looked all but lost till the last speed marker.

Armstrong has emerged as a real challenger this time. He looks a man on a mission. Very fit too. Contador on the other hand was looking laboured.

Some bad news for Menchov though (and i like menchov, i want him to win )
Overall Standings after stage 4 (Montpellier – Montpellier, 38km):
1 Fabian Cancellara (Swi) Team Saxo Bank 10hrs 38mins 07sec
2 Lance Armstrong (USA) Astana at same time
3 Alberto Contador (Spa) Astana at 0.19
4 Andreas Kloden Astana (Ger) at 0.23
5 Levi Leipheimer (USA) Astana at 0.31
6 Bradley Wiggins (Gbr) Garmin - Slipstream at 0.38
7 Haimar Zubeldia (Spa) Astana at 0.51
8 Tony Martin (Ger) Team Columbia - HTC at 0.52
9 David Zabriskie (USA) Garmin - Slipstream at 1.06
10 David Millar (Gbr) Garmin - Slipstream at 1.07
