So, the big TT (not actually very big, but very important) is upon us and all eyes are on how much time Dumoulin will take out of Yates.
Borrowing the excellent work of bobmcstuff:
So predict your timegap here, and win possible bragging rights for all eternity.
Predictions so far: (please try and pick a time nobody else has...)

Well converting from my post above, an average based on previous performances would result in Yates losing 1 minute 43s to Dumoulin.
If Dumoulin has an alright day, so getting into the top half of his wins against Yates, he would take 2 minutes, which still wouldn't quite give him the lead (obviously).
A good day for Dumoulin might see him take 2 minutes 15s or so.
If Dumoulin has an absolute stormer, and/or Yates has a shocker, Dumoulin might take as much as 2 minutes 51 seconds. 3 minutes would be probably the outer limits of reasonable. You have to think that's unlikely though, given Yates' performances to date.
3s/km = 1 min 43s
3.5s/km = 2 mins
4s/km = 2 min 17s
4.5s/km = 2 min 34s
5s/km = 2 min 51s
So predict your timegap here, and win possible bragging rights for all eternity.

Interesting problem - TD will presumably have to go all out in order to try and put pressure back on, Yates has the advantage of knowing what's going on ahead. I'm going to be stupidly bold and predict TD gets his pacing wrong in an attempt to do too much too early - 1'18"0

Also the E in TUE already stands for Exemption. You don't need to write it again. Unless you've had an exemption from your exemption.

To Tom Diesel, that is. :P
Interesting interview with Orica DS Shayne Bannan on Simon Yates.
Covers 3rd week fatigue and time trialing among other things.
