    Bernal 20" down at first check point.

    French seem to be a little more friendly toward Froome now he's not winning.

    Yes, I'm sure I heard a few little gaps in the constant booing there :P

    Bardet’s bicycle has normal brakes in sensible places. Do they make TT bikes like that any more?

    Yes he is, he is riding a Factor One with disc wheel and TT bars.
    The Factor Slick is the team TT bike, look at what Latour is riding.

    OK, but it has a TT bar set up at least. But I concede, he does look a bit like a triathlete on that bike

    Jungels goes 2" quicker than Kwia at the 2nd check

    Kwiato's time is about to get hammered, Jungels 3s up at C2, I expect Roglic to be even faster.

    Landa having a bad ride.

    It is obviously what suits him best, considering his poor showings in previous ITT's it is probably a good idea to move him into a more road type position.

    Zakarin is flying, 12" fastest at 2nd point.

    Froome 5" fastest at checkpoint 1

    Police motorbike greatly helping Froome there. Amazing that this isn’t policed better even in a TT.

    Roglič losing time.

    Meanwhile these fans are making me nervous with all the flags.
    Correlation is not causation.

    Froome going faster than Roglic, brilliant. Would be a great ride.

    Blimey. I'd suggest Froome may have gone out too hard, but it's not like he often screws his pacing up.
