TTT to start and TT to end (even though they're short) with just one summit finish = Porte for me.
Especially looking forward to seeing how Porte, Quintana, (a mildly revitalised?) Contador and Kwiatkowski match up though. |

I'm hoping for Kwiatkowski. If he can follow quintana in the mountains than he will beet him in the ITT after OPQS took some seconds in the TTT

Kwiatowski could indeed win this one. But I think when Quintana a climber like Porte attacks on the mountain stage it might be hard for him to follow.
Of course he proved to be a good climber and has an incredible form. But I think the shorter climbs suit him more, so I expect him to finish 3rd-10th behind Porte/Quintana. |

Interesting tweet on tomorrow's TTT, though obviously take with a big pinch of salt:

Thankfully there's more to TTT than the sum of individual values, although it does give an idea (Sky first, who could have guessed ?  ). |

Absolutely, many different skills/abilities apply, apart from all the other variables - but interesting, as I say, with that BIG pinch of salt  |

The time set of 20'24" by Orica GreenEDGE does not seem quite enough if Sky, Movistar or Omega Pharma Quick-Step have a better day. OGE achieved an average speed of 54.411 km\h over the 14 kilometre route, but I get the feeling someone might push closer to, or achieve, 55 km\h.
We'll see though, since I wouldn't complain if everyone else fails to ride faster.

OPQS goes under Orica's time and looks set to win this (unless Lotto pulls a stunt).

Still a decent team time trial time by Movistar for Nairo Quintana's chances of winning Tirreno Adriatico.
