Thanks. Seems I'll be too late for Cancellera but might leave early enough for Tony Martin.

I've seen the video in this post come by a few times today, don't think anyone has mentioned it just yet.

Quintana holding onto a spare wheel of one of the motorcycles. Obviously we only see it for a handul of seconds but still, whatcha think?

He was going slower than he would have been cycling. I'd wager it was just so he didn't crash into it whilst they were going so slowly.

Yates had to unclip to get past the crash yesterday so the excuse is plausible.
Gerrans out with a broken collarbone from the crash yesterday and Pinot out with Bronchitis.

Large differences so far. Today the Tour will be decided I fear.

Not known for being good at them.

Home in time for the big names, lovely.
Though it looks like Dumoulin's crushed it, great TT.

I am dead.
Aru, the fuck. I know he is a poor TT, but that is awful.
His whole tour is fucked.

Just wrong info. Its 39 something not 42

He's made a good start, 11th at the first unofficial time trial. Though he's never done a TT this long.
Aru, on the other hand, is out on a Sunday afternoon ride.

i hope so, didn't make sense as Teejay should have overtaken him on the round and they never showed that.

Is Bardet drunk?

Thank fuck it was a error, seems he went faster than Martin through the 3rd. Still not great, but at least not tour over territory.

Mollema 50 seconds ahead of Quintana after 17,5 km, doing a great job.

Mollema is looking great.

Tom Dumoulin, you beast.
Great victory. Hoped he would deliver and he did.

Can't argue with Froome's performance there. Untouchable this year.

Dumoulin was from outer space, but he is not a threat for Froome. Froome just buried Quintana here.
Mollema did his best TT ever. And if you look at yesterday as well, hes the only one that can compete with Froome right now. He would have had yellow if Froome didn't get Mollema's result yesterday.

Glad that was the wrong info, otherwise that would have been one hell of a negative split

Aru is so shit at TT.
I am hoping he can bounce back strong like the Giro in 15. Apart from Froome and Quintana, I can't imagine many being better than him in the Alps, so I am still hopefully of at least a podium.
time to channel his inner Vincenzo.

The mighty Adam Yates of course.
Aru must be frustrating to support. I don't think he's at the top tier of riders yet, mainly due to his inconsistency. He's still young though, so there's hope.
Just need to get the same drug regime as Froome. He went from a barely useful domestique, had 6 months off with illness and came back as a master of the grand tours. Aru has some pedigree, imagine what he could do!!!
If you're going down that route. He rides for Astana, you tell me?
I suspect he'd improve out of sight if he went to Sky. Astana don't appear to have access to the same stuff Sky have.
As proven by Landa of course.

Crazy picture from the TT yesterday of Alaphilippe.
Wind picked him up. Only damage was a bleeding nose, back in the race today.

That could have been a lot worse.

I'm going for a Daniel McLay win today.

Really tired of the Mark Cavendish humble-mumblebrag
Haha, I was shocked he'd not posted yet.
Kind of a disappointing stage so far though, I guess they're waiting for the Alps.

Waiting to do what, attack Froome? I think everyone has already conceded that Froome has won. He's just controlling the race.
What year is it?

Really disappointed with the form of Aru. It was a good idea, but he just didn't have the legs.
At least he wanted to make a go of things, seems everyone else is just happy with where they are, excpet Bardet.
I hope Aru has a real go in the Alps, he has done well in them during his two Giros.

Almost like a Belgian classics finish today, LBL GVA? Valverde? Albasini? Poels?
