Rabo will take it. Sojasun just gained 8 sec. on Saxo from 2nd timecheck to finish
Yea, the wind in the last part has changed. |

Very bad time set by Liquigas... Garmin will be the one to look for now... Rabobank should win by 5 seconds or so

Sure about that? Wouldn't surprise me that Saxo Bank just started out too fast.

Such a good teammate Gadret is. Willing to help out the team in the TTT ... oh.
Well, he DID help them by not slowing down the pace.  They dropped him somewhere after 2nd point though, as far as I can tell.
It does make sense to let riders that are REALLY weak at TT (or just have a bad day) skip a couple of turns at leading though I guess. You don't want to lose them too early and not make it within the time limit...
Saxo was good example how the handle it
Except there's a huge difference at losing Gadret after 9km and losing Noval... Gadret should limit his losses. Noval doesn't give a shit.
They have Roche for GC,for Gadret is maybe even better if he lost some minutes as peloton could let him go later
Depends what his own goals are. I believe he is in a very free role this year... If he wants to go for top 10 then he could do that.
- Nice time from Rabobank!

Oh, and I think Gesink was just sitting in the back for quite some time too. All a matter of what's best for the team and the goals of the team I guess. |

Gadret peaked for the Giro and didnt initially intend to ride here, at best he is going for stage wins here. Maybe KoM, not Top 10.

Stupid for me to chose Julian Dean for this TTT (Tour manager game) - I really thought he could keep up on most parts.
Now I'm worried Renshaw could do the same.
