Wow, only one guy in the field who's considered a TT specialist? :regd09:

Pretty far from a TT specialist course:

If Tony has an off day, I could see someone else taking it.

Belkin did terrible today, Mollema blamed it partly on the bike after the race. Bianchi gave them new TT bikes on the second rest day and they only got to ride it twice, the second time being this morning.

Now the team is freaking out and saying how unprofessional Mollema is to blame the bike. Good show.

Was a hell of a lot more than the bike. Riders that weren't even really trying finished way ahead of him.

Unless his fit measurements got hosed up or he had the wrong size frame, I don't see how it could have caused major issues.

Regardless, he looked awful on the bike. Moving his upper body all over the place.

He can climb about a million times better than Kittel. Don't think anyone considers him a pure sprinter.

Puncheur.

His team seemingly had an obligation to Valverde so they forced Quintana to ride the Giro.

Will be for the best if Quintana can take the Vuelta. Then he can focus on completing the set.

BMC have a nice little break going on with four out of 15 riders. 3:00 up only Garmin chasing.

Curious to see what Cadel can do.

This for the reminder to tune in. This is turning out to be a good stage.

First finding was announced in September, right? Looks like these are all from samples taken before that. Bet they're going back and testing all the Astana piss they've got from this season but hadn't done anything with.

That's not good for Nibbles.

Na, it's kosher.

Nibbles is my favorite, but I'm cool with him losing time here. Means we're more likely to see crazy poo poo from him later on.

Great finish! Really mixed it up there.

Would be cool to see Sagan in yellow for a day. Tomorrow looks promising for him.

edit; ah, thought Sagan was like five seconds back. Looks like he's 11. First place bonus is only 10. Would have to get a gap over Froome.

Gnarly bit of a transitional stage here.

He got hounded as much or more as Froome is. He just handled it a lot worse.

Cuddles is the only one, recently, that didn't get hounded too much. At least that's my recollection.

Was pulling for Sagan but Van Avermaet works too. He's been close so many times.

Awesome finish.
