Hutchinson pointed out that Hindley's best part of the TT was the climb, Tao was a LOT faster on the flat. Tomorrow is a pancake.salsiccia1 said:

Not picking on you Bob as a few have made similar comments but doesn't that result suggest they *should* have gone all in for Kelderman the other day?bobmcstuff said:Wow that was great!
Watched it on the turbo. Massive heart rate spike for the sprint.
So, who still thinks it was a bad idea for Hindley to follow TGH and Dennis the other day??? Should he have waited for Kelderman again today
Kelderman's only like 1'32" back isn't he, so if he has a decent TT he could still place well.
I take it we think Tao is a better TTer than Hindley...
We won't know for sure until after the TT but if you agree with Bri Smithy about Kelderman limiting his losses to ~1 minute on the Stelvio stage had he had help and factor in him getting help today had Hindley waited it's possible Kelderman could still be in pink.

That assumes that TGH wasn't holding something back on the final climb to try and stave off Hindley's sprint though. It's plausible he could have gone quicker if Hindley wasn't there.DeVlaeminck said:

Tao and hindley were real.close to the limit . Fair play to t hem both . I was worried Tao would crack with one more acceleration . Tense stuff . It seems unreal ."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

First stage I've missed completely. I, like many, questioned Ineos signing Dennis but this is what he looks like in a team that helps him sort out his demons. I'd love him to win tomorrow but he must have burned himself out in the last few days.
If you just looked at the GC you'd assume Tao and Hindley had just marked each other out all race.1 -

Ooooo just catching up on eurosport replay.
So they went up the bit they went down in the 2018 Giro and down the bit they were supposed to climb...?
Shame they couldn't have done the original route that would have been immense!Correlation is not causation.1 -
It's hard to think they could have done much else . Open to different opinionsNo_Ta_Doctor said:

Re swift Just lacks the sheer grunt needed? Same with Kwiatoski . Perhaps due to the role or roles they have to fufill now.0

Purely hypothetical, but what if, for example, TGH had .72 in the first TT and .58 in the second, would that add an extra 1.3 seconds to the overall? Or would the .3 seconds be used as the tie breaker? Has anywhere published the fractions?RichN95. said:larkim said:What's the tiebreaker rule that sees Hindley in pink?
It's done on the fractions of seconds in the Time Trials.0
