Henao probably stole Wiggins CERA at the breakfast table. |

Really interested to see what Evans is still capable of. |

According to the commentators on Danish Eurosport, Henao received a bottle on route (from a SKY-helper) illegaly, because it's against the rules to get a bottle on the first 50 km & last 20 km. This rule is apparently also valid in TT's. |

Well there have certainly been 3 or 4 signs. I don't remember 3 or 4 weaknesses all of last season in comparison? |

22yo. Relax.
I agree he has talent but many saw him as someone for the top 10 overal. No way he's that good already
Who?
Don't point at me, I didn't saw him there. Top 20 would be great for him, that's all. I want him to take the U25 jersey instead, which I still see happening. (Though Betancur is going fast in the TT atm)
Still, if Kelderman can keep up with Henao(still is close to him), then the time isn't that bad.

Penalty coming up for Henao and Kelderman? Would be deserved, imo.

Defintelly. They're doing a Duo Differdange like TT. |

Yeah, think Henao will be faster as Dowsett at next chrono

The worst thing for Sky is that they went all in for Wiggins. Henao and Uran have ruined races now, and as I expect Wiggins will give up this Giro soon, they have already almost no chance to battle for podium. Bad Giro for Sky.

Know we've speculated a bit here so is JV:
Jonathan Vaughters@Vaughters

That thread is a mess to search in now. Might even have been on another forum.
Big time for Scarponi

If he is/has been sick it explains why the form seemed ok pre Giro but not why you'd recall both Uran and Henao from the group in front yesterday so who knows. |

Someone's got to sort out Kelderman and Henao. |

Actually, they're not in each others wheels.
Only in downhill turns a bit, but that would maybe be 5 seconds in the end.
Spoiler Yes, I'm extremely biased in this

Doesn't matter, they're still too close.
Both should be heavily penalized, if you ask me.
