    When you say "naturally quicker".........

    Completely OT but the bit that's most poignant about Tyler's book is the dread he felt crossing borders carrying sh1t.

    Tck tck boom.

    My man showing who`s boss just like Contador did in the 2011 uphill TT.

    Go Samu.

    Go Majka - 2secs up on Betancur for the white jersey. Great ding dong battle for that coming up in the stages to come.

    Rare to get a mountain TT so a win in these is prestigious.

    Imagine how fast he'd be if he had one of those Sky Procycling issue internal antennae.

    Is Uran so far off the pace he's out of camera range?

    Whatever Nibali is doing, it's not working! He's dead last at the moment! Needs to start overtaking other cyclists! #disaster #giro

    Scarponi next in, could be looking at a podium GC place after this ride.

    Rain is getting heavier now but doubt its going to have any effect
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Don't know where he is, but as the director didn't even show him start, not expecting to see much of him until last k.

    Decent looking time for Uran coming up... at least considering his split time

    I was assuming he meant that if Evans form has gone off a cliff again he won't be picking up many points in the next couple of stages, which means Cav has a better chance of the red jersey...

    Nibali is pretty close to Evans... might be in sight by the finish.

    None for Team TT but there are for ITT. No time bonuses though.

    Evans needed to do more squats :lol:
