    Has there been a massive change in wind since Martin? Didn't some of the riders say that the tailwind had picked up over the course of the afternoon?

    The times of the other riders don't really indicate this.

    Mollema beating Contador?

    He's not at his best this year is he?

    They don't all 'give it absolutely everything'. Cav said he regarded it as another rest day.

    Martin's got it.

    Mollema got Valv too by about 7 secs.

    Nicely played Christopher.

    Good ride by Froome, Martin would have won that by a lot more if he was 100%, good to watch Martin win a TT again

    Froome 3'25" ahead of Valverde.

    Presumably Sky radio'd Froome and told him to slow down as the win would have just confirmed that he's an evil doping genius.

    How do we think Wiggins would have done there? Absolutely smashed it I reckon.

    Dropped 13 seconds in final third because Brailsford got in his ear and told him to slow down or he would be lynched...

    Game over. Froome has won this tour and pretty much on his own.

    Good man.

    Well done the Panzer.

    Closer than everyone thought.

    My fantasy team had Martin, Froome & Kwia. I am a very happy boy.

    The other results are shockingly bad though. No GC candidate withing 2 minutes of Martin - that's losing nearly 4s per kilo.

    Martin couldn't believe what he just saw from Froome.

    Think Froome has had a splash or two of this...

    Wow thats opened up well for the mountains - who's going to risk working together to attack froome and possibly lose a podium place - cor.
