After a furious day in Le Tour today, the spectacle continues with a 23km TTT around Les Essarts. Sky look very strong this year and many have predicted Geraint Thomas to be in yellow after tomorrow's racing. Leopard-Trek will be looking to put more time into Contador with Fabian Cancellara rolling them along. Radioshack have a good unit and have trained on this course a number of times in the Tour build-up. However, they may have to settle for a podium place with strong teams like Sky and Garmin-Cervelo in the mix.
While Sky have gelled more as a unit, Garmin have more time trial specialists with Zabriskie, Millar and a number of powerful punchers. However, the preference is for COLUMBIA HTC who will be well-suited to the 23km distance and can form a glorified lead-out train, really cranking up the wattage over this short, straight track.
TTT Stage 2 winners - Columbia HTC 3pts @ 3/1
