[SPOILER] Team SKY - Tour de Romandie

[smutchin]

Holy crap, watching Kwiatowski is making me feel ill... he ain't holding back on the corners. [edit: marginally quicker than Wiggo at the line for 11th place]

Basso went off just before Evans. Nice to see Thomas top the times, but it's a shame it rained.

See you tomorrow.

Just seen a tweet that said the last rider has gone off, so presumably Basso went early.

Evans looks like he's quick so far...

[edit: ...but finishes 20 seconds down on Thomas, who therefore wins the prologue. Yay!]

i really wish i had gone to the bookies. £100 at 16-1 would have been very welcome at moment

Ah. I probably missed him cos I only had half an eye on it (I'm at work).

It certainly looks like Team SKY will be a force in TdR

I have just seen a tweet from Cavendish telling people to "put your money on the welshman" for the time trial.

runs to check twitter ....... obblocks , wish i had seen that earlier . ah well.

main reason i said he could do it was the fact he is a welshman !!

I bet Cav's well chuffed with third, not bad considering he's weak at TT. Still a 3.3km TT could not have been kinder to the sprinters, who can just about max it for that distance, giving them a fair crack at a decent time.

He won the same prologue in 2008

Yep, it's just short enough for him. I'll be going to the stage on Friday and hope to see him in action (albeit struggling up a hill in the gruppetto).

Anybody watching this .... whats going on ?

It's just about to go live on ES.

50km to go. Break of 4 has 2m21s on the bunch with Cav favourite for a sprint when it all comes back. Not much sprint opposition here, Matthews, Davis and....not much else.

Looking good for Cav.
