This is apprently what Giant are running with today - personally I'd want a little more than 44-25 to get up a 10%+ climb...

Not sure how much of an advantage a TT bike will be to Dumoulin but damn he's got an amazing position on the bike

He didn't sound to confident after after crossing the line
"I think Froome in his best form can beat my time. I felt good on the steep bit at the beginning but I felt I was losing a bit of strength on the longer stretches of 3-4%. It’s easy to lose time on a course like this. I did a good time trial but I don’t think it’s good enough to win."

Valverde stating that he would like to do the vuelta. Now that would be something 
Unlikely though, but wonder what he could still achieve there if he went

If Valverde wants to do the Vuelta, he does the Vuelta. Simples  |

He stated before the start that he wasn't going to put in much effort in the TT and save his energy to try for a stage win over the next 2 days

Hell of a ride from De Gendt again, even if he will get knocked down a few places now the big guns are out. |

Rodriguez 3rd time at first check. So bikechange worked so far but think you also need the TT bike for the 2nd part.

The Liggett "Richie Froome" counter has to be up to 20 at this point.

Let's hope Porte will get some time back. Then we should have fun at final stages |
