Pierre Rolland's timetrial form does not look bad.
Edit: From the front, it does.

The start of the top-guys in the GC will be at the same time as the football match of my favourite team starts. Annoying.

Steephill.tv always collects the streams. I'm sure there's a working one among them

Did you ever notice the writing in your signature seems to slide to the left while scrolling down rapidly, and to the right while scrolling up?

I mean I know he is doing well, but am I the only one who thinks that Froome looks really unsteady on his bike? I know that he has never had the smoothest technique but he just looks... messy?

Kelderman's TT is overrated a bit, he was really good at Dauphine, but except that, never really outstanding.
Anyway, very happy to see Malori improving constantly. Good rides by Dennis and Ludvigsson. And Froome for his first WT race.
P.S. Avin, what was wrong with Velits? Expected him to suck on climbs, but he sucked even in both TT's.

Nah. He's just better in longer(30km+) TTs...
Short prologues are decent too...

I think it was a pretty solid time trial by Kelderman, up there with the better stage racers like Peraud, VDB, Talanskiy and Danielson. Though whether it's good enough to be alongside those guys is up to people, but I think it is pretty good on this pan flat test, especially when you compare it to Pinot/Betencur/Rolland who really need to improve at this discipline.
Spilak and Froome confirm they were the strongest out of the GC contenders - I guess the discussion point is where Martin could have come had he not attacked like he did yesterday.

If he finished with the group right in front: 8th
If he finished with Rolland and Porte: 4th
If he finished with the first group: 3rd

I don't think nat. Champs should really qualify for this discussion because most riders don't really goe all-out for them unless they can win it. Also Tjallingi has been a good TT rider in the past:

Wilco Kelderman
Right, his TT could've been better, but it wasn't ridiculously bad...
Nice that he proved that he's a good climber again yesterday.
5th GC + white jersey. That's nice!
Edit: Wilco was in his resting period around National Champs I think.
He just had California + Dauphiné, he was pretty tired I guess
He didn't really go for the win, for sure!

@Alak Not to mention the WC.
Right, 25th isn't that amazing, but don't forget that Wilco started when the weather was bad, and the top-guys started when the weather was better(Weather in NL is thát unpredictable, yes)
He would have got 15-20th without the rain, I really believe so.
Just await until his next long TT.
Giro 55km TT qualifies for that, but it is a bit uphill on the end, isn't it?
