    Bilbao into second, 19 seconds down.

    Goncalves equals Dennis at the split.

    Looks like the course is getting quicker to me.

    I think Dumoulin could win the stage.

    That would be a good result

    Listened to him sounding exasperated on the Cycling Podcast, saying that his power in the TT position is the exact same as the road bike, and he has a pretty aggressive position at that. Said he simply doesn't have the power of the big guys so he's about as good as he's going to get at TTs.

    Campenaerts 2nd Same time as Dennis.

    Hardly any Hatch. Kirby still rambling. Less Giro this year then.
