Yeah great start by the OricaGreenEdge team.
I must admit I thought it would take years before an Aussie owned/ran TDF team wouild show anything! OK its only tha start of the TDF but still quite exciting.
Also noticed there is some kind of fantasy comp for the TDF but hey have missed the start so will probably look inti it next year.

Not sure how many on here follow Le Tour de France so I may be the only one posting! Only time of the year I watch cycling but l love watching the Tour. Probably reminds me of my grandfather who followed cycling and the Tour fanatically.
Awesome start for Rohan Dennis, has set the bar and a good chance to hang on and win the first time trial.

I knew Dennis was talented but I thought Martin would comfortably beat him pre stage. Once Dennis broke 15 minutes I thought he'd win and was happy he held on.
Had a bet on Durbridge to beat Boom h2h and he lost by 2 seconds. Disappointing ride by Turbo Durbo.
I think Contador will miss the podium. 1 Qunintana, 2 Froome, 3 Nibali for me.

Just saw the dummy spit / frustration from Thibaut Pinot yesterday. Tour over being more than 6 minutes behind.
Can't believe he didn't jump on his teammates bike when it was offered. Claims his teammate is 10cm taller, but surely you just keep moving even if it means a few minutes on a wrong sized bike until you team car catches up to you.

As always, awesome to see the chopper shots of the Alps and the beautiful villages and fields.
Next few stages the one's to watch as people lining the mountain tops are going to go completely nuts.
Am loving the tactical side as the field can very quickly get stretched out with breakaway groups pressing the pace of the peleton and things can get complicated for the overall leaders. Having your team mates deployed further up the road can help just as much as having them right beside you, depends on the situation.
Man, those descents down the mountains are crazy !
