Porte slower than the Bastard of the North, whose time trial skills are toxic.

Who's the Bastard of the North?

Mike Nieve, nieve is basque for snow I think, GoT reference

Its Spanish for snow.

Basque for snow is something like Xerexaradeanx.

Oh and its an ASOIAF reference :rolleyes:

Thanks, it is spanish for snow, but from there to ASOAF is a bit of a stretch :)
He got given that nickname back in 2011 following the Gardeccia stage, but haven't had the need to use it for a while :p

Lol, Hesjedal might actually beat Contador :D
No not at all the wind change also in the last part of the TT. Contador can win this TT.

this is Contador from 2009. full mutant.

He was all of 6 seconds ahead of VBD. He's putting in a very good time, but it's made to look monstrous because those around him aren't all that good.

If Contador continues this tendency for the rest of the TT he will basically pull an Indurain. Settle the race and leave the rest to race for 2nd.

Hesjedal with a decent time, it seems they're making up time on the second half of the course, Rigoberto Uran having a horrible day losing 1'04 at 15km and Aru not much better with 48 loss
