A short uphill TT could be important in battles for GC positions - particularly with the battle for the podium between Nicacio, Lowe, Trofimov and Lloret.
Van Ooijen sets the first decent time, Kaisen goes 3 seconds quicker, with Roulston knocking a further 5 seconds off the lead.
Craven is 3 seconds slower than Roulston, but Lang is 2 seconds quicker
Vandewalle goes 5th at the finish, before Ma goes 3rd fractionally slower than Roulston
Donald takes the lead, 4 seconds ahead of Lang
Perry goes 5th, before Zirbel then takes 5th from him
3rd for Tenorio, 4 seconds down - just slower than Lang
Gilbert goes surprisingly well, slotting inbetween Lang and Tenorio
But Kai Reus is the new leader! 7 seconds quicker than Donald
Here comes Lloret - he has the most to do in order to get on the podium - and goes 2nd, +5 on Reus
But Trofimov charges up to take 2nd from him, only 3 seconds slower than Reus
Lowe faces a tough battle to stay on the podium and also to keep the young riders jersey. He rides well but at 14 seconds down on Reus, he will drop below Trofimov - although staying ahead of Lloret
Nicacio now, the Brazilian TT champ, looking to hold off Trofimov for 2nd place. He is 10 seconds behind Reus, 7 on Trofimov, and having started the day 8 seconds ahead, he just clings on to 2nd overall
Finally, Astarloza. 12th on the day, but it does not matter - he is the winner of Giro del Capo
