@dangle I know that there is always a prologue, just thought that 6km are a bit short, isn't it normally slightly longer, but I do understand the spectacle and all that.

Can we run the route with them ;-)
:lol: :lol:
I was just throwing some HUB sarcasm back at you ;)
I reckon if we try and run it, they might just run over us :lol:

I reckon there'll still be quite a few medium mountain stages...
maybe those mentioned as mountain stages on the list are just the summit finishes?

“The time that you lose there must be made up on other terrain,” Fränk Schleck told Tageblatt.lu. “But we must focus more on time trialing.”

They will do that by “increasing muscle mass this winter and working on aerodynamic position. We have already talked to Johan Bruyneel about it. He insists that we work further on this.”

Frank Schleck on realising that him and his bro will have to improve their TT skills for 2012.

Well, I thought the 2 and 3 on the podium of the Vuelta which was one tough race can reflect some of the GC strength of Sky.

But the Vuelta did not have a Contador Evans or Schleck brothers riding

It's because they were scared, I would also be scared if I had to race against Tin Tin.

I would actually be more scared of Snowy as he growls and has been rumored to bite!
