Vande Velde at 36 sec back, Wiggens is first at the first check - by 1 sec. I guess he is good!

I hate the way those things feel.

From Eurosport: LA starts in a quick tempo. Takes 25” of Frank S very early on. However, has some problem with the equipment. Throws his goggles.

Hey SB! Wow, I didn’t realize that UK has never had a rider on the podium. Wiggins is the hope of the entire Kingdom.

A Schleck 20” behind Wiggins, not bad.
Cancellara made a lot of his time in the last half of the course.
