Tour- Stage 1 Recap -ITT

Cancellara won by a lot, not a surpise. That didnt do much to decide the overall except for the fact that Contador showed he could ride a hell of a TT. American GC contenders Leiphimer, Armstrong, and Van de Velde (from chicago) all rode well to be in 6th, 10th, and 17th respectively.

They will all move up when we get to the mountains, but tomorrow is just a hilly stage (likely wont affect the GC) so look for the breakaway having a chance at staying away. But most likely they will get caught so look for big leadout trains for Columbia and Quickstep to try to get the sprint win for Cavendish and Boonen, also watch for Heinrich Housler and Oscar Frierie to be up there. But my pick is the big man from Norway - Thor Hushov.
