All the major teams are represented in the first group I think.

Might end in soft or meaningless breaks on the non TT stages.

Time will tell.

 

[JRanton]

Malori and Thomas are the best two time trialists on paper but the time trial appears to be very lumpy and technical which doesn't suit either of them.

Barta is also still up there, Lovkvist lost some seconds today so I guess he is not targetting GC.

Elmiger might surprise in the time trial.

 

[WKA311]

very curios to see how herklotz will perform in the ITT

As mentioned above Malori, Barta and Thomas should be the favourites.

 

[Gloin22]

Herklotz is the only conti rider to finished s.t. on the winner so far on two stages.

Some talent he is!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Stage 3
1. Gerald Ciolek (MTN)
2. Arnaud Demare (FDJ)
3. Heinrich Haussler (IAM)

Ciolek is the new race leader.

I'm calling on Malori to crush everybody as a test for the Worlds TT.

I will raise you Gersint Thomas

 

[Kokoso]

very curios to see how herklotz will perform in the ITT

As mentioned above Malori, Barta and Thomas should be the favourites.

I wouldn't count out Ulissi, Roy, Stannard and Lofkvist.

 

[CraZyCaLL]

Malori will win today, Thomas second

 

[Ruudz0r]

Sutterlin (20 years old) just set a very good time, he is 1 minute faster then the 2nd (Rasmussen I think) at the moment at the finish.

 

[Gloin22]

Any other news ? Any tickers?

Not brilliant, but it works.

Doesnt work for me. I have this: http://www.bayern-rundfahrt.com/Liveticker/liveticker.php4?wahl=4&all=true but not many updates.

Barta just finished 1 second slower then Sutterlin. Thomas just set the best intermediate time (dont know by how much)

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

It's gone very slow now. Maybe I shouldn't have put a link to it on here.
