It's a perfect course for him though, couldn't have been stitched by a tailor better than it is. All resulted in an average tour, like Cav winning 600 Tour de France stages in one edition.
And it started pretty promisingly with Frank Schleck's attack.

He's so dominant and yet he is sprinting on the  hoods! 



Can only race on the Parcours provided and against the Opposition provided, but awesome performance from Sagan.  Bear in mind, he did much the same thing at California earlier this year.

Tbf though, its hard to make a parcours not suited to Sagan. Long TTs and MTFs are the only terrains he hasn't conquered...yet

But put a hill 5 km from the finish and it's pointless to even contest.

At least he won't win today!

Can Spartacus come good? His form hasn't really looked all that strong but he will be desperate for a result in his home tour.

Well who else would win this? No Martin, no Evans, no Wiggins, no Contador, no Millar.. Normally this would be a sure victory for Cancellara. I think he'll take it even in his current form, since there are no other TT specialists present as far as I know, and it's too long for Sagan and Monster-Moser.

Ah, yes, forgot about him. He has a chance, but I'm not quite sure about his form.

Today would be the day to show us  :)  Canc has got to be the big favourite, but Levi should make good ground on most of the other gc riders

Gesink said he didnt feel well during the Time Trial and felt empty during the flat part..

Well it was a course that suited Gesink to the T so it will be worrying for him if he can't ride well on the more flatter, longer TT's in the Tour.

Despite the self-serving data benders and associated propaganda to the contrary, I am led to believe that there are pockets of organised, highly sophisticated dopers, even within 'new age' cycling teams. Personally, I don't accept that the 'dark era' has ended, it has just morphed into a new guise.

Mathias Frank did well. Good to see he is getting over his illness hopefully in time for Nationals next weekend.
