ES is best when Berkhout and Zonneveld are commentating, or Berkhout and Boogerd.
Any combination that involves Berkhout and not Jose Been or Bobbie Traksel  |

I think tomorrow we will see a be a big GC shakeout. Pozzovivo has improved in TT and I'm think will be the best amongst big guys. I'm guessing about 40-60 seconds into Evans, yes you heard it first here. It will be interesting to see ho Quintana and Uran goes. Both are decent in hilly TT.
Pozzovivo a good TTer? 
Sure he was good at the Vuelta TT but I don't think it can be compared to this one. I am pretty sure Evans will be faster than him. Also it will be hard for Pozzovivo to gain time on the other ones, also Quintana, Kelderman, ... will be faster than him I think. |

Pozzovivo is not bad. Was not bad at last year's Giro TT either.

It's understandable, but still a shame that Sammy Sanchez did not get much opportunity to ride for himself on today's stage. Given the opportunity I would have fancied Sanchez's chances on that descent after seeing what Rogers managed to do.
We'll know just how in form Evans is by the end of the individual time trial, given that Evans' performances in the ITT seems to drastically align with his form.

Kittel is too good for this Giro, competition is better since he withdrawaled. Bouhanni is now dominating, but if Nizzolo is well placed and Bouhanni not, he can beat French guy. Viviani is the most disappointing rider so far. |

Mounatins:
Evans seems to be strong now, but in the real climbs he might be bad. In my opinion Uran is a favourite to win now. Quintana seems bad, Majka will be competitor for Colombian. |

I don't think Samu was ever going to get a chance, most would have expected a breakaway win and Samu ended up working because of Androni's work. |

But also worse than Evans and Kelderman there. No way he will get 40-60 seconds on or even beat Evans. That's what I was referring to.  |

I'm very interested in what Kelderman can do in this TT. Quintana should also have a decent result since it's a bit hilly. |

Can anyone beat Malori in the TT? Unless he's been in a crash and i missed it i can't see anyone beating him, found some good odds on him too at 4.50x |

Cannondale can control the whole peloton from 10km out but they are never in position in the final 500m, it's so funny...

Nobody has mentioned Castroviejo yet? I think he could have a good chance today, though he hasn't done too much yet this season.

“It’s a very important day,” says Wilco Kelderman. “I’ve already been thinking about this stage for a couple of days and wherever I could, I tried to save energy. Hopefully, I can pull in some of the riders who are ahead of me in the GC. I also would like to make a bid for the young rider’s jersey.”
He talks like a 30 year old pro, it looked like he was saving energy to me, but here he confirms it  . |

I am faily certain, unfortunately, that Kelderman will be in white after today's stage. However, I am also fairly certaint that Majka will get it back in the upcoming mountains.

Probably going to be a low profile name it being so open but if I had to pick one I'd go for Evans. Steady climbs, flat section, bit of technical descending. Will be interesting to see if Kelderman keeps the momentum going too.
