I don’t claim to be the expert Armando is, because I’ve only been watching the Tour since the year before Lance started his streak and naturally my perspective is distorted from that experience.
Bring on the big bore. Today’s ‘official’ first stage is live now on Vs.
Lance is in 4th place 22 seconds behind.
Stage One-
139 miles of pancake flat Florida.
8:50 start.
Prolog-
Contador / Armstrong head to head on competing teams. Armstrong’s last Tour win or lose.
Raining in Rotterdam. Prolog is an individual time trial. A poor performance or crash could end it before it hardly starts.
Stage 3 Cobblestones. Lots of wrecks.
Armstrong launches in good conditions. It’s not where he ends up overall, but in relation to Contador. Contador next out of the start house.
At halfway Armstrong only 5 seconds behind fastest so far.
Finishes in 3rd. Now up to Contador- 1 second behind at halfway to Armstrong.
10:27:64. Five seconds behind. Advantage Armstrong.
Tomorrow Sea Wind. Flat.
Ben Stiller interview. I watch this stuff so you don’t have to.
Lance thinks he’s ahead of last year, didn’t have a collar bone crash.
