Still a huge favorite. Not really much concern on the time lost today... But of course when you're holding the yellow jersey you never want to concede any time.

Very strong in the mountains. I think Team Sky may have shown they can be vulnerable but still, not very much cause for concern at the moment imo.

You mean during the race?

https://www.letour.com/le-tour/2013/us/

That's the official website... Just click on "live" while it's going on and you should be able to see exactly where every rider is if that's what you meant.

Well I leave for France in just over 24 hrs......very excited.

Never been to Europe, so should be a great start by being at stage 19.

Leaning...

De Gendt over Martin @ $2.90

Quintana over Contador @ $1.93

Mollema over Kreuziger @ $1.70

Maybe a stab at Quintana paying $17

Quintana weighs 123 pounds.... He's a climber and even though there are 2 climbs in this TT they are only category 2. He'll do fine but I can't see him having the power to match the better time trialists like Froome and Contador.

And as for Froome not going very hard... People might think he would save himself for the next 2 grueling days but I disagree... After watching Froome in this Tour, I've seen him day in and day out give 100%. He wants to keep adding to his lead and keep being an aggressive rider all the way through. He missed out on winning the first time trial by 11 seconds and I think he'll want nothing less than a stage win today.
BUT, that being said... The rain might be a factor today and it now has me nervous about my Froome bet. They are saying it might start raining this afternoon over there shortly before the last few riders go out. That would mean Froome would be riding in the rain and that is no good. We'll see what happens.
