    Shocker from Froome.
    Dumoulin to take 40s

    Froome down by 35 seconds on Dennis, TD likely to go quicker than that.

    Given all the wee guys up on there today it must've been lumpier than many thought! Yates has always done a good TT in comparison to others his size, he talk about it in a magazine article too.

    Only 20 days to defend it. His team must love him heaps.
    Thank God that is over. Crap Kirby off, Boulting and Millar, tout flipping suite.

    Plus climbing as well as I’ve ever seen him... if he can stay mishap-free, he’s nailed on for the podium, I’d say.

    Yes, though he's flattered in Trentino to deceive in the GIro before, but this looks like the form is the real deal, hubba hubba.

    Too short and bendy for him. He needs at least 15km to hit peak speed.

    That was a great leveler, TT specialists battling with climbers. Great ride by Yates.

    Poor from pinot and Froome. Nice rides by Yates and pozzo. Nightmares for aru and Lopez.

    I'm sure Sunweb will be happy to let someone else take pink at some point soon.

    Can't see anyone else taking it with bonus seconds next couple of days - stage 4 looks like a breakaway?

    Campenaerts is only 2 seconds back so he might go for some intermediate sprints if they're on offer.

    I watched last half hour and it was Stephens and Hatch - no Kirby at all.

    I like Stephens.

    I'd say given their respective time trialing pedigrees that Froome's performance was by far the worst.

    Weirdly I've just looked on replay it's got Kirby and Kelly for the same stuff. I'm starting to worry about my sanity now.

    Edit - it was Stephens and Hayles (not Hatch) I think, deffo not K & K

    They will be flooded with new subscriptions if Rob Hatch is on the player and Buffoon Boy on tv. :lol:
