Every stage is live on itv4 and eurosports. Bloody fantastic :D

With frank winning the tour of Switzerland does this now mean that he will ride for his younger brother? His answers on the team presentations yesterday could be interrpreted as such IMO.

A fully focused Saxo Bank with 1 rider aiming for 1st place would seriously hamper AC. Andy could do it as long as he develops a selfish streak and tries to not Frank on the podium as well like last year.

Podium will be Alberto, Andy and Ivan Basso.

I think day 3 could be the best days riding especially if the weather sets in and gets the pave wet and slippy. Some of the GC hopefuls could have their hopes destroyed before we even reach the mountains if they get caught up in a bad spill somewhere.

Hope Rogers does well this year.

[3] Lance has failed tests

I used to believe him and it would be nice to, but I'm very prepared for Landis's claims (at least some of them) to be true.

Cav's pre season must have really been affected.....he's forgotten how to steer his bike! :)

Did I read it right that there were no points handed out for the green today? If so then that has certainly aided Cav.
With the cobblestones tomorrow, it could get even more interesting

Yes. Certainly a stroke of luck for Cavendish. Think the decision to not award points was wrong, personally. I can understand some of the riders wanting to take it steady on the finish after seeing 7 or more crashes in two days but I think Hushovd is right, these things will happen and all the teams were well aware of the route and potential dangers before it started.

Agree Stu - it's cycle racing and if Cancellara and co want to organise a go slow then that's up to them but their were points on offer at the intermediate sprints and at the finish and they should be awarded to those who took them - would be gutted if I were Chavanal, copping the points and then being told "no, sorry not today we've moved the goalposts".

On a positive note good to see Tony Martin riding well this tour - one of the good young riders and whilst he's no contender for GC he should go well again this year and has a shot at getting up the road for a stage win.

Martin
