Scarponi loses 43 sec on Wiggines. He'll be happy with that

Scarponi should be pretty happy with that. |

Yes. Leave the 8 bike length gap. You know, FOLLOW THE RULES.
But of course that would mean he'd lose minutes

Let me. Most of the guys here are fan of a particular rider. Most of the guys of a top rider. Now Kelderman is performing on quite a good level lately, I'm way more happy than you guys would have been if that 'top-rider' would have the same performances.
Spoiler Does that sentence actually make sense? I hope you understand me 
Be a fan of whoever you want. Just stop being obnoxiously biased about it. You're making the same "you just say that because you hate Hagen" retarded argument that the norwegians were flooding the forum with a few years ago

I am afraid that Nibali started with this pace early. I hope not,but most probably,he will lose some time on last climb.

That's got to be one of the best TTs that Scarponi has ever riden.
Also by the way, who was arguing that Stef Clement can't TT a couple of weeks ago? I think this stage removes that idea entirely...
Clement was very strong at the Romandië TT as well(although that one was shorter, ofc  )
But I was one of the guys that didn't have that much faith in Clement anymore(although I don't think I posted that, I think you mean someone else)

Very good TT from Scarponi, dont count him out of the fight for podium come the last week. |

Enjoying this TT, usually they are pretty tedious predictable affairs.
Wiggins is off and others are going really well.
Looks like it is Evans or Nibali for Pink. If Nibali can hold this, it would be a massively impressive performance.

Okay, sorry for that. I'll try to keep that down.
And I didn't know about the 8 bikes rule, to be very honest

Majka 22nd +3.37 (really not bad for his TT reputation - 3s slower than Cataldo and quicker than Svein Tuft) |

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Pozzovivo only lost 2:34. Surely one of his best TTs of all time?
Betancur on the other hand collapsed. More than 5 minutes behind Dowsett.

OMG they're showing a guy in a pink jersey. I wonder who it might be?

Nibali might be going too fast, see if he can get into maglia rosa today.

Hesjedal or Nibbles for me. Dowsett won't win I think |

This. Or Evans if he does a terrific climb. Same for pink.

That's an amazing effort for him. I guess there isn't any wind out on course, which will suit him, and his explosivity really would pay off with these climbs.

Kruiswijk is surely not a great TTist

Pozzovivo did well. Kruisjwik loses almost 5 minutes. This TT makes more diferences that I expected. |

Im thinking its more likely to be Evans or Nibali, than Nibali or Hesjedal. Just gotta wait for the 2nd split to see - not a great TT for following who is going fast, this.
