Tom Boonen of Belgium (see pics below). George Hincapie (USA - Team Discovery) had it for one day.

I hope Hincapie gets it back. The Yellow Shirt belongs to the US!!

Hi All-
There are some FReepers one wouldn't expect to see on a Tour de France cycling thread...and supportive of the sport at that. Simply amazing.
Let's see how the standings change after this 32-mile time trial. It looks like fairly smooth terrain.

I have picked George as my favourite as well :-)
It will be interesting to watch the TT in a few hours.
Cheers.

Not pulling for Thor to take it all???
To: green iguana
If he shrinked 4 inches, and dropped 30 pounds :-)
Not gonna happen.
I would love for him to get a stage victory though. Defending the green jersey from last year seems too tough at this point.

Looks like the only US rider to fnish so far is Chris Horner @ 1' 47" off the 44' 53" pace set by Gustaf Larssen of Sverige.

'scuse, it's Lang of Germany setting the pace w/ a 1:02:47 split (I was reading the L'Hermatige split b4 :>( ). Lang started in 84th position, so his time has held for some ~40 riders. It also means that his time is quite vulnerable - expect the GC contenders to knock several minutes off that pace.
