I dont think any of the contenders will be to worried about losing time in the prologue. With Wiggins, he gambled on starting early and hoped the weather would be better for his race but it was the exact opposite and it poured, so only losing a minute is actually pretty impressive in those conditions. As well the Schlecks arent time trial specialists so it doesnt suprise me that they lost time today.
I actually think the GC contenders will be more worried about the next two stages which in my opinion will be 2 of the most exciting stages of the whole tour. With an ardennes like stage tomorrow followed by a cobbled classic stage the next. I would put my money on Hushovd or Cancellara for stage 3 and contador/cadel or the schlecks for stage 2.
