    Looks hatd

    How hard can it be? It's not really a sport if you do it sitting down, is it?

    His first TT this Giro was disappointing, but he is normally decent.

    Roglic doesn't look great either TBF. Thomas turning a big gear too.

    Wonder how long Kuss will last.

    I have to go shortly to collect my daughter from dodgeball, so will have to watch the last few km on my return.

    Thomas takes over and bridges to Almeida and leaves a gap to Kuss and Roglic.
