Porte's only really good at long TTs. He takes about 20km to get going.Thanks. Poor show from him but along the lines of my understanding of where his TT should be relative to last year. He did beat Dennis earlier this year for the Aus TT champ.Twitter: @RichN950 -

had a couple of decent climbs in it though. Lets be fair. And if he's poor, then you'll be bemoaning Quintana too
Quintana doesnt have a pedigree of smoking TT specialists. Porte does somehow...but not anymore given his weight loss, unless something is amiss.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Do bora not have spare bikes? That's a shocking advert for whoever their bar supplier is and damn dangerous. I've seen a bad crash result from just that"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Unbelievable ride from Dennis. I thought Martin was going to do it with 500m to go.0

Vino interview. It's good to see that he has his rider's health first and foremost in his mind. He didn't care about his own health when he was racing so I suppose it is no great surprise that he won't protect the health of his riders.
Martin didn't beat Dennis' time, sadly.

Did Dennis have better wind conditions?
He's a good tt rider but I wouldn't put him on the same level as Martin and dumoulin but he's now set the fastest tt in tour history.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0 -

(Cooling) breeze picking up.
Headwind into final stretch.
Thankfully. Not sure Tony Martin feels the same though!0 -
It's possible the weather has changed enough to affect it, but Martin and Dumoulin are both within 10s of his time so it's not like there are huge gaps.Did Dennis have better wind conditions?

Did Dennis have better wind conditions?
I think it must be something along those lines. There are reports that the wind has picked up and I can only assume it's a headwind for the riders setting off later.0 -

Cancellara clearly told them to shove off with their flashy light.
Which is odd, as he's usually so concerned about health and safety."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
