    This is really painful commentary. When it said 1.4km to the intermediate timing point, it probably wasn't going to be 100m later.

    You have to make allowances for him, it's not like he's seen dozens of other riders pass the same point earlier in the day or anything!

    For anyone on Lopez watch he is currently 1m35s behind Froome at the 2nd checkpoint. A blow.

    Somewhere around the minute lead at the line, at this rate.

    DO NOT LOOK AT ARU ON A TT BIKE!

    Astonishingly, he looks even worse than on a road bike.

    Unlike Froome who is exactly the opposite!

    Almost looks like he belongs on it.

    That's because it allows him more time to watch that beloved stem...

    Froome looking like opening some big time gaps on his GC rivals and taking the stage...

    Oof - Chaves lose 3:32 to Kelderman. Not unexpected, but still a lot of time
