    I'd punt it could be less than expected, something like 1'20", but god knows really

    Firstly, I rarely post on here but I would like to say how much I love these threads. Very informative.

    Quick questions - how much time is Simon Yates expected to lose to the main GC contenders on the upcoming TT?

    bad day for yates 2-3min...good day 1-2 mins thats to an on form Dumoulin and Froome

    pinot blows hot and cold in the TT

    That is more than I thought it would be.

    At this stage of his career would he be expected to improve his TT ability?

    he has which is why i think he will lose a min or so to Td

    It's what, 35k? He lost 49sec to Dennis is Abu Dhabi in 12.5k. He's pretty much where the other climbers are time wise. the opening stage flattered the climbers. I'd say 2.30

    i'll take that bet 1:38 secs to TD

    You're already backing away from 'a minute or so' ! :D

    thats my final word... step up or step off


    1:38 went a week ago on stage 10

    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.

    Rats. Beaten to it. Hmm. 2;12 then.

    I've had that!
    Double rats. If 2:10 is free I'll have that. If not, 03:03.

    mididoctors, redvision already had 1'38" so you'll need to pick again ;-)

    Is there not a long and storied history of riders in the leader’s jersey riding out of their skin in a TT when the race is at stake? On that flimsy basis, Big Tom will only take 54 seconds out of Yates this time round
