    Was he the driving force behind the huub team that seemingly changed team pursuing?

    Yes. He's also working with the Danish track team for the Olympics. Interview with him in latest Cycling Podcast Service Course

    Knows his stuff, it's quite an interesting background conversation on a TT stage unlike when it raises it's head normally.

    Solid time for Dowsett but not troubling the win

    Van Emden starting, can he get a JV 123?

    Only half watching but seems like there's a few surprises around today...

    Anyone finding ES player freezing? Not sure if my WiFi is playing up or it's an issue at their end.

    Van Emden catches his minute man with 1km to go.

    Van Emden past Cepeda like he was standing still....

    Almost bumped Cavanga off the podium for a Jumbo trio but not quite.

    Not really, more anything that improves performance (he was commenting on the riders who sprint the last 150m rather than staying in their position). He's all about aerodynamics and efficiency and kit is only a part of that.

    So is Bernal a favourite or not?

    Unknown really, he's done very little racing since that decent ride at Strade Bianchi

    Affini sounds just like a more eloquent version of Roglic.

    Yates and Bernal near identical at the time check.

    Not bad for Bernal, 1 second slower than Carthy.

    Bernal poor.
    Almeida new fastest quickie.
