Hmmm....

From The beeb

"If we had lost by one or two seconds we could have said he dropped them in a curve but seven seconds, it has to be physical," said Garmin-Slipstream sports director Lionel Marie.

Should I read anything into that? Or is it just my own bitter disappointment and/or cynicism?? Because, I must admit, I did think that 7 seconds was some some margin of victory.

Well Contador is either a supreme athlete or...

Or possibly a bit of both.

Seven seconds does not seem an extraordinary margin of victory over 9.3km to me.

i didn't follow this earlier, but was Wiggin's ride in the dry?

Maybe not... maybe I'm just pissed of because Wiggins got well and truly pipped at the post when none of the other prologue/short-course specialists put as much time into him that this self-declared non-specialist

No, it was wet. It started to dry up a bit just after, but then started raining again - so pretty much everyone rode in the wet.

And 7 seconds is a lot when Wiggins' ride was already so fast.

Contador is really on fire at the moment, if he keeps this up there will be no doubt who will lead the team during the TdF. Let's hope Millar can follow his ambition and be on the podium in Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless he burns out even during this race, which is what the French commentators were 'worried' about.

 

[Keith Oates]

I never thought about that way, it's a possibility but I would hope Bruyneel (sp) and his team will be able to guide him if that starts to happen. I did think it was strange when I read that Contador stated he was going into every race to win not for training,. As far as I know all the top riders use some of the races for training!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure they'll employ a couple of strong riders to carry him through the climbs and hot chases, like Hincapie and Cavendish in the last ToC
