Anyone has a first check that works? mine still stands at 32 riders passed... and that can't possibly be right. |

Not to sound like too much of a noob, but is there a time limit in TTs?  |

Yup, 25% of the winners time.
It starts to rain now

Yeh, it's a certain percentage of the winning time.
I think it's 25 or 30, but I'm not sure.
EDIT: Zabel'd

2012 Wiggins would smash the concurrention and take the jersey, but this year I'm not sure about that. I still think he's going to win the stage, but not as dominant as in the TDF time trials.
Evans has a big chance to be the next in pink if he can pull off a strong TT. |

So the Eurosport commentator just called Dowsett a specialist climber. Urgh. Just. Urgh

It takes Wiggines 12 minutes to overtake Di Luca 
Next up Henao. We might see a Sky-train

Already? I expected him to catch Killer to be actually 2 minutes faster than he actually did
Now Wiggo catches Henao and they do tandem to the finish

If Wiggins just beats Dowsett time by 1'55, then Gavazzi is OTL.
Blythe and Chicchi must hope for him not being very much faster. |

Norwegian Eurosport has Reidar Borgersen as an expert commentator and if he opens his mouth one more time I'm going to kill everything in sight.
He... is...ehm... a horr...horr... horrible...mmm... commentator. The man can't... can't...ehm...can't even...ahh... talk pro...properly...ehh...
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

The scary thing is that he could potentially catch 4-5 others as well.
Henao two minutes ahead. Probably not but possibly Kelderman at three minutes. Golas at 4 minutes. Pozzovivo at 5 minutes. Serpa at 6 minutes. Caruso at 7 minutes. Aru at 8 minutes. Battaglin at 9 minutes. Pirazzi at 10 minutes.
I know it's a lot of time to make up, but considering the current gaps at the finish, I wouldn't even rule out him catching Pirazzi.
