    Great racing. One of the best stages, if not the best so far. They all look empty!

    You can call me greedy, but I'd like to see Hindley have a proper go.

    Carapaz & Hindley take some seconds out of Landa in the final 400m.
    MvdP caught by that group at 300 to go.

    Almeida loses a chunk of time too.

    Almeida suddenly appears not that far behind but off the podium

    I'm intrigued what Hindley's strategy is. His prologue was slower than Carapaz's and Landa's, so he can't really be expecting to win it on the TT.

    The strategy might well be "I'm giving 100% just to be where I am."
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    He seems to cover moves fairly easily.

    It does look he has a tad more ..but it's hard to really know

    My hope is that he is holding back for one of the mountain top finishes.

    That is more hope than expectation from where I am sitting.
    It would be a race changer but a huge gamble to leave it till the penultimate stage.
