    Goddamn what a performance from Ulissi.

    Symptomatic of the roads drying out or just a monster effort?

    He was ahead at each check = monster effort

    And Pozzo way ahead on the 1st check! The roads getting drier must be helping.

    I think it might be hillier than we give it credit for? Plus drying roads?

    The roads must be drying out.

    This is not the strongest TT field you've ever seen is it?!

    Top 5 GC must be dancing with joy. Conditions worked out perfectly for them.

    Why on earth is Pozzovivo eating a gel for. Surely that's not necessary for a 1 hour TT

    Didn't he have any breakfast ?

    Uran goes 2nd fastest at the 1st check, 15s down.

    Now my tin foil hat radar is pinging.

    Surely that would mainly manifest itself after the first timecheck as its the descent where one could argue the times could improve

    Well Evans is down by close to a minute

    Aru now descends like a snail.
    Evans fail. There's a surprise.

    Wilco fast at the 2nd point. Only 31 seconds down on Ulissi (56 at first check).

    the Inner Ring ‏@inrng 37s
    Pozzovivo is so short he uses a stock road frame for time trials because Focus don't make a TT frame small enough

    OPQS synchronise team time trialling.

    Quintana and Pozzo close together and ahead of old man Evans.
    He needs a great descent.
