NIbali doing well in the first section, but he will lose a bit more in the rest which is flatter. One would expect Froome to be slightly less effective over the second and third sections too, maybe...
51seconds does look very good - Nibs lost 3min31 in the Dauphine to Wigs. Think it was something more like two and a half mins to Froome.

Just seen on twitter: "Can anyone see? Has Froome pulled out his earpiece yet?"

Just for context, in the Vuelta I think Brad was comparable to Froome at the first intermediate but he did lose time, particularly towards the end.
Could be a Wiggins, Froome in two weeks time

So if Froome helps Wiggo all the way this year, will 2013 be 1986 all over again?
Wiggins was ahead of Froome in that one I believe, but later said he went out too hard. Since then wiggins has been covering the 2nd half of the course faster than the first in every single time trial - so things could get even better!
