If Wiggins doesn't take huge time on everyone in the TT tomorrow I can see him dropping out and saying he's saving himself for the Tour.
With rain, and the course tomorrow is it possible that some guys will just ride their road bike with some aero bars?
Those years mountain biking are working out great for Ryder eh?

This … but apparently Chris Froome is already "the man" for the Sky in the TDF. It wouldn't surprise me if Froome (who is 6 years younger) turns out to be better than Wiggins as a time trialer and Grand Tour rider.
Ouch. I guess that's it for Ryder. Maybe he can get a stage win, which would help with his confidence I'm sure. Now I'm going to cheer for Uran, I like that long haired Colombian, and he's riding better than Wiggo. Plus I've seen him here climbing Cypress a few times, and he always gives a nod.

Really? He should have Strava KOM'ed the shit out of it.

Yeah, Ryder's burned out. Too bad … if he could win a stage that would be great, but its looking like some serious burnout there - more like he's riding sick or injured.
Something is wrong with Ryder. A quality rider like him does not loose that kind of time because his legs are tired. I am thinking he has a virus or something.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

Apparently his gf lives (or lived) in Vancouver. First time I saw him, I had no idea who it was, aside from some greasy looking guy nerding out in full team Sky kit. Next time I saw him, I was with a buddy who enlightened me as to who he was. He should totally strava everything around here.

Maybe his HGH wore off

Really? As much as you seem to think it is funny it isn't.
Yeah real shame Ryder is struggling. Although I don't think he would have made the podium this year.

Ryder and Wiggins. DNS today. Wiggins is sick and not getting better. Ryder's problem is unknown but he has no power.

wiggo = pissed that he's not the number 1 anymore….ryder must have some weird virus or something, cause he looked pretty good before the TT, maybe he's just cutting his losses too in advance of the Tour, oh well, racing isn't predictable!
Froome and Bertie will tear the TDF to bits. Nobody else will get a look in. Well possibly Rodriguez but I doubt it.
