A hilly time trial and it looks like Froome is the clear favourite. Doesn't seem to suit Herr Martin.

What about Quintana, Kwiatkowski and possibly even Chavanel?

Anyone think they have a chance?

    The last thing Holm said in today's interview, when asked about Martin's chances tommorrow, was 'no chance'.

    I'd put my money on Chavanel btw. He can go all out while the favorites have d'huez in their minds.

    Also, we really need to up our stage threads! Profiles! I want profiles.

    Unless Froome eases off for whatever reason, can't really see past him. Don't know how Tony Martin will do with these climbs.. I think he won a similar TT this year (against Froome too), but can't really remember where (and I might be wrong). Even then he seemed closer to Froome in the early season during TTs than now (+ injured, 2 weeks..)

    Maybe Chavanel or Quintana will pull something off. Quintana really needs it and he did well during Basque Country when he needed the TT for GC.
