Evans really wasn't that bad in the end but all this TT did was show just how massive Uran's TT was, it wasn't just a win it was Dominant!!!

Evans strong at the end. He might be through his peak (arguably that was pre the Tour win even) but that was a good ride. Uran then the rest though 0.0 |

Strange time trial.
Anyway, Quintana's still in with a chance. Overjoyed with Majka's performance! Evans rode himself back into the finish. Interesting third week ahead.

Are you sure? 3'29 behind Uran is a bit too much for my taste.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Hopefully this means that Pozzo and Quintana will be attacking like mad men in the mountains. Still 5 MTF's left and we haven't really seen how good anybody is in the high mountains. |

Evans clearly saving plenty for that last up and down. Probably being fed live tweets in his ear writing him off for added motivation |

Pozzo and Quintana will have to attack now. I think will be a great last week! |

Well, 3.29 is really not that much taking the 3rd week into consideration. I count 6 massive mountain stages ahead. If Quintana finds ihs groove, he should still win imo.
But this definetely makes it more interesting, but to count Quintana out.. na. |

Ultimately depends on how he's feeling with his illness and effects of his falls (and form obviously). Some big mountain stages in the next week, and if he's up for them anything could happen.

Thing is Quintana's pedigree is established but his form was a complete unknown and he's crashed. Either way hopefully some fireworks in the mountains, particularly from Pozzo. |

That was a good TT from Quitana which to me looks like he is coming good for the 3rd week but it was a strage TT so who really knows

Most of you are all talking about Quintana, but Urán has a word here too, he looks really strong. It doesn't depend only on Nairo imo |

Anybody know if anything happened to Monfort? Or has he given up on going for the GC and is saving himself for a stage win?
