Looks like Quintana is destroying Porte, great ride from Quintana here. Porte just ordinary today and Quintana showing something special.

When you know that on the flat, performance in ITT (cycling in general) comes down to a matter of W/m² of frontal surface, look at the position of the riders head -> back line.
Porte has a particularly excellent position (no matter that Quintana is crushing him), whereas many riders I've seen at the finish have their head way too high.
Also, those who bend their head every five seconds to check their power meter, or because they're struggling (Spilak, hello), lose tiny bits of efficiency every time they do that. |

Valverde's never won this race. He has lost it in the time trial more than once however.

Henao holds off Spilak by a second, I think.
Great TT from him as well.

If Quintana can TT like this, then the next few years may be boring  |

Don't worry, he'll spend the next years being Piti's babysitter.
