And yeah, pretty cool TT from this man cant TT for shit Peter Sagan.
He can do anything in form, still this surprise even me. Shame he came outside of points by slight margin. Nice that he is trying to suceed in every stage he races, loive the attitude. Also cool to beat Velits, who was very disappointing.
But who surprised me even more is Kreuziger, i thought he lost it completely with TT bike in last few years, but he has to be in hell of a form this year and we know Riijs make wonders happen. This is best Kreuziger we have ever seen, he could be sitting with Valverde now without nursuring Conta, but i hpe it will pay off and they will help each other in Alps, thereis maybe still bad day to come from Roman, but he looks fantastic this Tour, i suppose he surprised many. And ontador is really not himself this year, still 3rd in GC with help of Roman is possible.
Great that Martin won, apart from gained pcms, beating that spider is warming my soul. Froome is clearly not built for TTs, still he dominates them bar Panzerwagen, totally credible.
Anyway nice TT, i was in St.Michel few years ago, magic place. It was nice to return there with my favourite spectacle.

Really happy that Contador was faster than Kreuziger, too. Saves us from a lot of "BUT WHAT IF KREUZIGER NEXT YEAR".
Really? Man is racing in top5 while being a domestique and still it is hype? And yeah, Contador really crushed him in that TT, by minutes!

case 1, Tejay Van Garderen
remind me how he's threatening Evans this year?
TvG was a one year wonder so far, benefiting from insane amount of TT kilometres. While Kreuziger is multiple top10 GT rider for years, he is just inconsistent. I am not saying he will win the Tour someday, just that he can lead the team to possible top5 at GT next year, or rather classic win again. These are different cases. I just loled on describing this few seconds gain by Contador on Kreuziger as important.
I cheer for both of them anyway.
Costa seems to be confirming he's not a rider for 3 weeks
Says his legs feel worse every day, even after the rest day and that he had no power at all in the TT
