Berto terrible :(:(

But it's not completely unexpected. Even the overly celebrated vuelta TT of last year was nothing special with such a poor competition.

Thus is much worse though. Only positive I can find is that he might try some crazy actions in the mountains (here and in the Tour).

he will get dropped like a stone by gerraint thomas and EBH :rolleyes:

Dennis in Yellow. Nice ride. EBH showing improvement too. Weird results. Only GC riders that did well were Porte and Froome.

Any chance the conditions were a little less favourable later on?

Fuglsang rightfully punished for wearing such an ugly nat jersey

Ye what happened to the regular nat jersey? REally hope he doesn't win the road race this year. His time was not totally bad though

Jaja wondering if it's allergies causing Contador problems. Pollen count ridiculously high this year as I can attest! #Dauphine

Smiling Contador after #Dauphine TT. "I didn't have the legs, so I rode the first half on power, the second on cadence. I'll keep working."

Whatever training approach he is taking is the wrong one since he NEVER seems to have the legs....

I look forward to the Contador superfans jumping ship right before the TdF :D I certainly won't give up on him...if he really shopuld suck in GC (which I still don't believe) we are in for some kamikaze attacks in the mountains at least.

Alberto Contador has suffered from his pollens allergies during the time trial. "It was not a good day for me", he said to France Television. "I didn’t have much energy in the legs, but there is still time before my form reaches the top. I hope to be better and better each stage. For the Tour de France, there’s still time. I knew that Chris Froome was superior in time trialling."

Pollen Allergies?

Looks like Sky had the best training camp.
sky had the only training camp with +5 TT and +5 CL bonusses. The rest clearly forgot to plan these camps /pcm-style
