    Dumoulin comes in first despite possibly going the long way round a roundabout close to the end.

    Oh my, literally as soon as Big Tone crosses the top he goes into a super aero tuck...ballsy on a TT bike!

    It already happened. 5mins into the coverage and he already mentioned Cunego's descending skills. :roll:
  • As expected Martin smashes everyone else so far.

  • If Spilak can keep up that pace he might stand a shot at the podium, only 22 seconds back at the start of the day.

    Then again Kwiatkowski is steaming along.

    Kwiatkowski only 13secs down on Martin at first check.

    Break up is awful.

    Valverde is 41s down at intermediate. No info on Evans or Cunego.

    Pinot finishes 6th, 1.25 off the pace of Martin.

    Spanish TV don't want people to see how close the motorbikes are in front of Contador and Valverde.
