Delighted with Dennis  Absolutely stunning ride.
Kwiatek continuing to impress, another good GC coming here.
Froome is looking good, not at his best yet but looking ahead of his rivals comfortably.
Navarro? Where did that ride come from? Very nice.
Good result by Teurel and Konig, nice ride for them both as well. Nice to see EBH doing well too in longer TT for a change.

Just noticed him. Major WTF 
Same goes for Moreno. That's his best TT ever by a lightyear's margin.

From cyclingnews forum:
EBH overtook him at 11km and he spent the entire rest of it tucked in his slipstream...
Probably the worst case of wheelsucking I've seen in a ITT, he wasn't even 1 second behind EBH. They passed the 2nd time check simultaneously. So there was no gap between them. At all.
Would be outrageous if he doesn't get thrown out of the race, he gained like 3 minutes by blatant cheating.

Hopefully that's the last I'll ever have to hear of how I'm wrong, Contador is totally a major candidate for the Tour and "can never be discounted"

The time gap between Navarro and Hagen is 1'01". And Hagen started one minute later.

This was worse. Henao and Kelderman were relaying.

I also think Isso is wrong. He will be far behind Froome, but imo is still big contender for podium. Important Tour stages are month and further away, still plenty of time.
Btw. who could beat Froome at Dauphine? Easy, that is Konig!
Just kidding, but given his TT performance, i think top 5-10 is not impossible, which would be absolutely great.

I am hoping Konig can smash everyone tomorrow.
More seriously, great TT. If he gets better and better and with Vuelta not having amazing field predicted so far, I can see him doing quite a nice GC.

I really don't get why you are so infatuated with a Japanese rider...

You should really improve quoting skills Isso, or be more attentive when reading. As this line belongs to Konig, not Bertie...

Why would I be rolling my eyes at a prediction that Contador can top 5-10?

This was worse. Henao and Kelderman were relaying.
Couldn't resist responding on this, sorry if that bothers.
I agree that this was really wrong, but they weren't really directly behind each other, only maybe in turns, so they couldn't really take full profit of the slipstream, and taking relays <-> switching from position 2 times, one time Kelderman overtook Henao again, and then he dropped.
But again, I agree that that was wrong, and haven't seen Navarro today, so can't judge if it was worse or not, but looking on the posts on the forum, I'd say that the Giro TT wouldn't be way worse than Navarro + EBH.
Spoiler And yes, I'm bloody biased, blah blah blah
