At the start it's raining.

That will favor Contador ;)

I hope it'll keep raining then, everybody needs to ride in that.

Wilco Kelderman is next to start, and the sun is out for the Dutchman who takes the first corner in confident fashion.

Rain and storms makes me think of Britain. Is Alex Dowsett in good form?
Btw, I'm looking for this year's Britain's ITT Championships and I don't find the course profile.

25 seconds, you can get that back on the Cauberg alone if you're punchy and the other rider isn't.

In the women's time trial the punchy riders did not take back that much time on the Cauberg at all.

chavanel sucks in the rain

Wouldnt know on a TT but just remember that he was doing pretty well on that rainy and slippery stage that Fabian cancelled cos the Schlecks and alot of others crashed. But it could be very different on a TT so thats why I used the "might" caveat :)

he sucked so hard in the stage haussler won in the tour in the rain. he's also often said in interviews that he doesn't take any risks in the rain, which mean he has no chance in this if the roads are wet.

He sucked because he bonked. Bonking on a tt should be a non-issue.

he said after the stage he didn't dare to take any rsisk and that he changed as a rider ever since he got kids. he doesn't dare to take any risks in the rain anymore

Gruzdev on his way to be the best time, he's been (1) on all intermediates thus far.

I was standing on the roadside at the last climb of that stage. I saw how Haussler climbed and I saw Chavanel. He bonked.

on topic: really hoping for a good ride for Larsson. He's good at championships and this course should suit him

He should stay at the top for a decent amount of time, he'll have the best time by about a minute and a half at this rate.

De Gendt is the new Devolder, don't like that, oh well.

Rain should be a disadvantage for Martin, we'll see, interesting though
