Intense prologue...but the TV coverage was not up to the quality of the race (e.g. Leipheimer's and Roger's rides were cut short). The cameras also failed to cover David Zabriskie in detail.
Floyd Landis' position on the flat (extreme forward w/ rear on the tip of the saddle with chest nearly pinned to his forearms) looked "beastly," as described by Paul Sherwen quoting Sean Yates. However, Landis was stronger than most to crack the top five. Julich and Hincapie are in fine form. Discovery's road bike set-up w/ mini-TT bars is quite practical.
Looked like Levi was riding his Walser and not a Specialized. Can anyone confirm this?...any close-ups of LL's TT bike out there?

Sorry Nev,
No TV and this is whats driving me nuts.
From the commentary on cyclingnews, looks like there was a lot of attacks and counter attacks. Having seen the action from the sideline the last 2 days, I'm ready for the action on TV.

Well, what do you know, for once Dish steps ahead of DirecTV.

I'm not too happy with dish right now. They dropped OLN without notice, and lied to me about their intentions when I called to ask what happened.
If I want to watch cycling on OLN, I have to drop disht and pick up direct tv - what a pain.

I don't think they had OLN last year at this time or at least around here. It was either this or it was a fortune to get a plan with it in. I checked it against my cable out of curiosity.
