Rohan Dennis gets the first Yellow Jersey of the Tour De France.

Pretty impressive ride, and setting a new record for the fastest TT in Tour history at 55.45 km/h (30-something mph). 'Straya represent.

As presumably none of you will care about this, discuss Tejay Van Garderen's (USA) chances for the overall victory. Personally, I don't see him as being quite at the level of Chris Froome (GBR), Nairo Quintana (COL), Vincenzo Nibali (ITA) and Alberto Contador (ESP). Contador should be fatigued after winning the Giro D'Italia, but is still a dangerous rider. Nibali I haven't seen too much of his form this year, but given his 2014 performance, is definitely a strong contender for the Podium. Quintana is extremely dangerous, but could find Stage 4's Cobblestone sections a bit too tricky to navigate. If Froome is back to the form he was in 2012/2013, he could easily win. The man can put in some pretty good attacks. Given the unpredictability of Cycling, Van Garderen is definitely capable of a Podium Finish, on top of a few stage wins before they enter Paris, barring Illness/Injury.

Thoughts?

It just has that winning culture. I don't know how they do it.

Neat, always looked like a fun hobby

It has it's ups and downs, Half the time I ask myself why I do it, because the racing gets insanely difficult.
