The TT is only a flat 9km so it doesn't play to Tony Martin or Brad's strengths. Might be a different winner.

A TT that short actually favours some of the sprinters, especially the 'strongmen' types.
I fully agree, however this applies even more when it's turning and twisting.
Have you seen this stage? It pretty much looks like 4.5km straight, a 180 turn and 4.5km straight back

With this profile, I still think Martin (and the other TT specialists) should be able to push his (their) big gears in full force.

Malori has done a massive time
I nearly posted this earlier :

USA 1 PHINNEY, Taylor (BMC RACING) 12:03
GBR 2 CUMMINGS, Stephen (BMC RACING) + 14
DEN 3 HANSEN, Lasse Norman (GARMIN SHARP) + 16
GER 4 MARTIN, Tony (OMEGA PHARMA - QUICK-STEP) + 22
SUI 5 CANCELLARA, Fabian (TREK FACTORY RACING) + 25
SVK 6 SAGAN, Peter (CANNONDALE) + 31
ITA 7 MALORI, Adriano (MOVISTAR) + 32
POL 8 BODNAR, Maciej (CANNONDALE) + 35
RUS 9 PORSEV, Alexander (KATUSHA)
SVK 10 VELITS, Peter (BMC RACING) + 37

It was Dubai's prologue results, 9km slightly twistier than today. 1,2 & 3 are absent

Malori appears to be backing it up

Cancellara's time must be a nice conformation for his form. (so far this season he hasn't put a really great result down yet)

Interesting name in the top 10: Devolder... might be one to watch-out for in the Flanders races (with the Belgian jersey he might have an uprising again)
