    What to make of Bernal's TT ride? Surely he'll need a robust TT in his armoury if he's to be a future challenger?

    Woah. Thomas smashes the first section. 14" faster than Froome.

    Plenty of time to work on it and has the potential to be best rider going uphill that Sky have ever had.

    Looked like some more spitting at Froome there. Might be my imagination though.

    Froome has the marginal gain of booing over Roglič.

    Not sure if he has had the benefit of Team Sky's full wind tunnel program yet so I am sure he will improve.
    He didn't need to go full gas today and will prob get a top 20 finish. It's hard to judge his performance when so many other riders have nothing to play for.

    Have to say, I'd expected Dumoulin to smash this

    Good ride from Jungels, 3" off Kwiatkowski

    It's a TT at the very end of his 2nd GT of the season, he's not going to be on WC form. Even in the Giro he was less dominant than expected in the 2nd TT.

    Froome going to smash Zakarin's time at CP2... 28" faster

    Super happy for G; he's flying around that course. Am still pinching myself that he is on the verge of winning the Tour. Doesn't seem real.

    Froome 27" faster than Russian Roulette at the second check.

    Zakarin went out too fast.
    In other news, seeing him head on in TT position I thought the aspect ratio of my TV had screwed up. Eurgh.

    Zakarin over 11" back on Kwia at the finish

    Do you think Jungles can work on his climbing and do a G?

    Roglic is losing time like a drunk on a bender.

    Ha, Betancur could use Zakarin's arms as toothpicks.
