Spilak finishes only 11" down on Martin.0

That was impressive.0

So an ex-doping Russian who no one has heard of and comes out of no where takes the top spot and a reclusive Slovenian riding for a Russian team in 1st and 2nd.
Ok then.
I hope they test that guy every couple of weeks.
Rides aggressively though!
Well done Yates.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Russian amateur? Steroid use not uncommon and certainly tolerated and half the steroids were in daily use ? Bit of bulking up at 19 - misguided. Should maybe let him get on....unless the (now) unthinkable0 -

To be fair, if you were ever going to put money on someone doing well in a race, you could not do much better than the Spilak / Romandie combo.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Bardet needs some serious help with this position:

In pozzovivo's case it's because the sponsor doesn't make a frame small enough for him.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -

This. There's a reason I picked him for PTP0 -
There's quite few photos of him riding a proper TT bike though.
Incidentally, the photo of him on the modified road bike is from the 2013 Vuelta, where he came 3rd in the ITT behind Tony Martin and Cancellara.0 -

Tony Martin on Zakarin:
“I am very surprised by his performance today, notably because of his changing bikes,” he told AFP. “Already yesterday I was surprised. I didn’t know of him before.”
Apparently he went from 75kg to 65kg in two years as well.
Ridiculously skinny:

Pinot had done a recon of that climb which undoubtedly helped him to the win.Contador is the Greatest0
