    Woo Hoo!! Finally got up early enough on a weekend to actually watch the end of a stage LIVE!

    Boy, the wind really tore apart the pack today. Glad to see two of my three favorites, Wiggins and Evans, still in the top 10 for the yellow jersey.

    Wiggins still holds the lead by a little over 2 minutes followed by a teammate. Cadel Evans is a little over 3 minutes behind Wiggins. It's way too early to say anyone has a clear advantage for the final win. Sure would be cool to have a lanky Brit win the Tour for the first time though.

    Wait till Ender Wiggins gets involved.

    Diest: "Wait till Ender Wiggins gets involved."

    At that point I think it would most likely be Ender's game.

    BTW, happy Bastille Day to any French friends here!!!

    Looks like Wiggins is gonna pull this thing off!

    18 Km left on the individual time trial and he's about 0:55 ahead of the field on this stage.

    Unless he crashes, he'll wear the yellow jersey in Paris tomorrow for the overall win.

    Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the road!

    Congratulations (possibly premature) to Bradley Wiggins and all the Brits.

    Unless he gets hit by a bus tonight, Bradley will be first Briton EVER to win the Tour de France.

    Well done Mr. Wiggins.

    It's been a great race and the scenery is amazing - absolutely THE best advert for France !

    The ending I'm hoping for is Wiggo leading out Cavendish to win the final stage ... that would be awesome.

    Well done indeed! Wiggins' domination of this year's tour is reminiscent of Bernard Hinault in his prime. It will be a well-deserved win!

    Did they find out who threw the tacks on the road the other day?

    Disappointed that Cadel Evens won't be winning but it's been a good race overall.
