Wegelius was only 27 seconds slower than Armstrong.
Don’t think that Lance is going to be fastest for much longer, judging by that.
Come on Tony M!!
Lance won’t win today, though that’s a respectable opening result.

I think actually Phil said he had ridden a few courses,
meaning a few different stages ? (still no excuse)
They also said over the past months he had ridden this TT course a dozen / two dozen ? times
What like?
Contador’s been poisoning his cod liver oil supplements?

Lloyd Mondory écœuré par Saxo Bank et Columbia
Avant de participer à son premier Tour de France, Lloyd Mondory n’a pas mâché ses mots envers les formations Saxo Bank et Columbia. Le coureur d’AG2R-La Mondiale se dit "écœuré de voir “renaître de ses cendres” Fabien Cancellara sur le dernier Tour de Suisse. Lloyd Mondory n’est également tendre avec Fränk Schleck : “Je courais contre lui en junior, quand il était dans l’équipe de Châteauroux. Je le valais. Après on progresse tous différemment. Mais par rapport à lui, je n’ai pas du tout progressé (rires) !” affirme-t-il, avant de rappeler que Fränk Schleck n’a plus rien à faire sur un vélo s’il est prouvé qu’il a fait un chèque de 7000 euros au Docteur Fuentes.
Sur le Tour de Suisse, le comportement de l’équipe Columbia, qui a enregistré sept victoires d’étape, a également interpellé Mondory. “C’est dégueulasse. Après, on dit que tout va bien dans le vélo. Mais ça, c’est écœurant. Il y a des choses qui paraissent trop grosses pour qu’on ait envie d’y croire” conclut celui que certaines équipes ne laisseront peut-être plus partir dans une échappée pendant les trois semaines du Tour…
