The Tour de France rolled today with the 9K prologue. Not surprisingly, Fabian Cancellara dominated. Somewhat surprisingly, Lance Armstrong was 4th at :22 and bested 6th place Contador by 5 seconds. Not huge time, but it puts the pressure on Alberto. The Schlecks, Basso, Wiggins, Leipheimer and Evans all have a little time to make up, not much, but it's hard to see where they can put time on Armstrong and Contador. That will likely have to wait for the mountains unless someone is carelessly caught out on the flats or falters on the cobbles over the next few days.
More Floyd:
More from Floyd in the Wall Street Journal. You'll have to find the article yourself if you're interested, because I want it to go away.
