It would be a strange race if Omega Pharma Quickstep didn’t have a solid contender for the time trial. The Belgian team is constantly working hard on their time trial performances and they never seem to disappoint. Despite not bringing a strong team against the clock, OPQS still managed to finish 2nd in the opening team time trial. One of the main reasons for this was Rigoberto Uran. According to his teammates, the Colombian put in a huge effort, taking some massive turns. Uran is very strong right now and I would be surprised not to see him fight for the win in Barolo.

While we wonder at the implosion (doing a Team <Redacted> a season early) of the machine formerly known as Movistar, and quibble at the lack of on-bike cameras for the white knuckle sections, let's have a riff about food since we're in the home of the humble truffle: Bumholus Neaderthalis. I'll kick us off:
A nation's relationship with its local produce speaks volumes about the health of its soul.

Selective course with a fair climb right at the start, I reckon we'll see some big gains and losses today and some surprising names in the top 10. I'm quite excited.0

Big day for Cadel Evans.

Light rain reported as having started about 25 mins ago over the last 15 km of the course.0

Evans won't win this. Bet you.
I think if Malori is 95% he'll probably take it but no one knows how bad his injuries are. Or do they?0 -
Malori said he wasn't in good enough condition for it. Apparently he's 30s down at the first check.0

If he wins I'll be willing to say I know nothing about cycling :P . I think he'll get top 5 though.0 -

Evans to lose time to Pozzo, Quintana, and Uran. My bad prediction for the day.0

Gretsch fastest at the finish. By 2 minutes 3 seconds.

Malori a minute and half down at 2nd check.0

Bouhanni nearly 9 minutes down - anyone know if there's a time cut for this stage, and what the formula is?0

If De Gendt is on one of his good days then he could easily take this. Depends if it dries up I suppose.0

Nice team time trial a few minutes ago, shame it wasn't a TT and they weren't on the same team!0
