Fantasy Cycling 2011 with road.cc and Evans Cyclesroad.cc Fantasy Cycling: Tour de France stage 2 preview
An Astana team featuring Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong bossed the last tour de France team time trial in 2009, but in last year’s Vuelta and May’s Giro d’Italia, it was HTC-Highroad that took the honours. There’s added incentive to do well today – depending on what happened on Stage 1, the strongest team here could well put a man in yellow.
Thought for the Day
This will be the sixth Grand Tour team time trial Mark Cavendish has ridden with HTC-Highroad in its various guises – and they’ve won three of the previous five.
GT’s tips
We’ve got a strong team, it’s obviously one of our big targets for the Tour. It’s a big test for all the teams, you’d expect the likes of HTC, Rabobank and Leopard Trek to go well but we’re definitely in there with a shout.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

Never underestimate David Millar in a time trial.
