TDF Grand Depart Prologue TT

Day 15 of my trip to Nice and after a very easy day on the beach yesterday it was back to Monaco today for the Tour de France Prologue. Spent the morning trying to find the Livestrong expo stand to no avail. Having worked out where the expo was, wasn't pleased to hear it had moved. Went to where to was only to be told that the Livestrong stand was in the Monaco Nike shop.

Anyway the 15.5km TT was really good, with a very dramatic finish to the proceedings. Bradley Wiggins took the lead off Andres Kloden, only to hold it for a few minutes before Fabian Cancellara went even faster.

Here's a montage of the video clips I took. Lance Armstrong making his return to le Tour after four years in retirement is fourth in the clip.

Oh and I got to give a live 30 second report of the event to the BBC Radio Norfolk listeners from my mobile.
