They all look well matched except Froome of course. And with Contador's current form he's a big question mark to me.
A good guess for the TT is
1: Froome
2: Porte
3: Valverde
6-10:Quintana
..........
10-15 Contador
Contador will probably loose around a min or around that to Froome on this TT, |

not quite sure what you mean
can't see Contador dropping to 10th-15th in GC on a shortish flat TT
and then Martin will win it imo (referring to the stage 11 one)

I'm rooting for Quintana but think Valv takes 2nd place because of better TT results. Going to be close though |

Also, for the TT discussion,
Here's a list of average 10km+ TT results the top-riders had the last 2 years. (Worst time striped away for every rider)

Shit. 
And yes, hope so.
Also, I think Froome's one is right as well. 17th in Crono des Nations, 39 Romandië 2012, and a few 6th places get his average placing up, I guess.

he seems to be saving himself for a repeat of last years Vuelta together with Contador.
After all there is more prestige for them to win their own grand tour than winning a french version of "how flat can we make a grand tour" |

Looked awful this weekend, but I'll wait for Ventoux before making any major judgement.
I reckon he'll be two minutes behind Valverde and one behind Quintana after tomorrow. It's a lot of ground to make up in the Alps, but he's still in contention for a podium. That is as long as he really is peaking for the 3rd week, of course. I'm starting to think he might have declined a little bit since last season.

Judging by this Mollema could be able to win time on Valverde. It will be interesting to see the two go head-to-head.

Mollema's number is badly influenced by the Suisse tt and last year's Pais Vasco tt.
Hard to find a flat tt were he went full gas though

Same for Valverde's Vuelta TT
Also, I'd like to know, why do people think Quintana is a good TTist? Profile tomorrow isn't technical and doesn't involve a lot of climbing.
F.e Jacdk thinks Quintana will finish 6-10th, before Contador. I can't see it happening, unless tomorrow's TT is technical and I missed that

The same goes for Valverde. I think they'll be pretty equal, unless one of them has a bad day. |

I do think Mollema is very underrated. Hes not getting much attention from the media. Its all about Quintana, Valverde and Contador. Even Dave Brailsford said he was only worried about those two teams |

It is all down to riding style and results, these guys are a lot more exciting to watch so get the attention

Its come down to the last day with still a couple of riders in contention for 2nd. I think Quintana will get 2nd ahead of Contador! |

I know he's less likely than Quintana but this poll is a great indication of how quick we all are (me included) to write someone off, Purito with 0 votes |
