    Great ride by Bardet, actually.

    Indeed it was, the team have found a solution to his TTing woes, albeit on a rolling course.
    Chapeau young man.

    Froome riding like he's had enough of this shít and wants to get it over with as fast as possible.
    The man lives in France, no? He may want to review that...

    I bet the French tax authorities wished Monaco was France.

    My mistake, thought it was the stage, not overall.

    Only just realised that Froome needs 32" to turn over Dumoulin

    That timing was confusing there, it looked like Dumoulin didn't have it then it came up that he did

    I like Ned as a cycling presenter / journo type person but have to say he’s a bit of a Carlton Lite when commentating. Not sure he’s the right person.

    Dumoulin quicker than Froome by nearly 2".

    The timings on the screen and the timings on the line are not the same.

    I think Froome was a second or two quicker than Dumoulin, the timing went nuts when he crossed the line

    It did the same when Froome crossed the line too so who knows.

    Cut them some slack people, not like there's been any chance to gain experience with timings in these newfangled "time trial" thingies
