"Thank you Ritchie, let you cooling down"
love Italians

There's something special about a team like Orica riding a TTT

Porte 20 seconds down on Bertie. Probably irrelevant but I suspect he expected to be closer than that.

 

[Crackle]

shoot ride by Sky but OGE, as expected, doing another great TTT.

Gerrans in pink - nice one

 

[bpsmith]

Contador is hot favourite, but I can see Aru doing well too. Being an Etixx fan, I am hoping Uran does well personally. Certainly in good form.

the stuff of nightmares

agree about Aru

 

[rich p]

If Aru rides as well as he did last year (or even better) given his pretty ropey year so far, I shall be tweeting Greg Henderson to have another dig.

Opening TTT will have zero impact on the final result.

I tried to leave it, I really did but "almost British" ..........piiiissssss off, nothing of the sort and incredibly disrespectful to refer to them as almost british or ex colonial nations...
.

yes

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I would really like to see a few riders do well in the next few stages - Greipel, Matthews and Viviani being at the top of the list.

I'd love to see Viviani do well, but I shied away from picking him in the punditry as I can't help feeling we'll get the usual Sky 'focus on one thing, everyone's there to work for GC' and he won't get a chance to shine. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

I did wonder whether it would be Moreno Hofland's sort of stage, if Lotto can get it together, but for some reason completely forgot about him when it came to the punditry.

Off topic, so apologies, but if cycle paths were like that in the UK I might consider riding on them!

(Saturday's TTT was on a gorgeous cycle path - an ex-railway line apparently - right by the sea, if you didn't see it)

It was great wasn't it? I was trying to imagine a TTT along CS7 and it wasn't quite the same...
