    I can see Cancellara crashing on this TT.

    Didn't really look up for it to me. Unlike Froome.

    He doesn't look comfortable and he seems to be pushing hard going in to the turns.

    Tony Martins position looks quite high to me ( the uneducated ) His hands look quite raised.

    Any TT`ers thoughts ?

    Yeah, Tony Martin knows what he's doing.

    For sure . Is that a usual style of TT riding ?

    Nice of the BBC to leave the race right as Froome and Thomas are on the course to cover a boxing HEAT
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Well, not particularly, some people measure less drag with hands up more to their face. Don't get that confused with him being high up.

    Alaphillipe is 3 mins down on the leaders at 2nd split. Maybe he has an aggressive plan for 2nd half.

    Dumoulin running slower then. Bodes well for Froome

    Not sure why Boardman is surprised about Froome being 20s down at the first split.

    Well, with these early splits the tension will be high to watch.

    Considering that's the way he smashed the TT at the TdF. All the same I don't expect Froome to win.

    Definitely going to be interesting to see how this develops. Fascinating TT so far.
