The Tour starts on Sunday, July 5. Cadel is in with a great chance of winning this year with a number of top riders not participating this year for various reasons.

I find myself getting sucked in to watching this every night (and paying for it in the morning) Time trials i believe now Cadel's strength, but he will find it hard to ppull back a good minute and a half.

I reckon he is in with a good chance of pulling back 1:34 on Sastra. I have also found myself staying up to 3 in the morning to watch this awesome race. Go Cadel!

Great effort by Cadel. He just did not have the energy after spending 2 and a half weeks chasing down attacks launched by CSC. Well done to Satra.
