3 days into the race... somebody had to do it!

Peter Sagan is a beast... In a few years I think he'll be the guy to beat. I like Wiggins this year.

Any other cycling nerds on here?

I agree with your Wiggins take.

The time trial will be a good indicator on Monday. he should be able to stay with evans in the mountains.

Several sprint crashes so far. Andre Greipel has looked good, even taking one head to head from Cavendish today.

Huge crash today. At least two riders pulled out of the Tour.

Interested to see how Wiggins goes in week two and three. Cadel Evans is looking good, put himself in great positions all week out of trouble and is a great tour time trialer. Will Wiggins be able to perform in a TT deep into a three week tour. Going to be really interesting

Sky proofed to be the best team today. I think that Wiggins is the better in time trial. Evans is going to have to attack in the mountains to win this year.

Catching up on this weekend's stages... Froome was a beast on Saturday!

Evans is going to have to attack in the mountains if he want to repeat. He is almost 2 minutes down with a team built for the flat stages. I will be really surprised if he is going to be able to repeat.

I don't think BMC can match the support Sky is providing Wiggins right now...

When teams were assembled this year, everyone thought Radioshack and BMC were the teams to beat... Obviously Andy Schleck and Thor Hushvold are out, but it now looks like Sky is far and away the best.

What is up with Frank Schleck? Can he not complete without his brother?

Both Schleck brothers are weak in time trial stages. Andy is the better of the two. They have to dominate the mountain stages in order for them to win the Tour.

Frank lost a lot of time (2 minutes) behind a crash last week. I'm not even sure if he's still considered the lead on Radioshack. It might be Kloden now?

Where's everybody? Voekler dominates the Circle of Death, Pretty Boy Schleck catches a case of the dope-sies and Team Sky just owns this race.......
