1’01 by Quintana is already a lot. I bet it will be between 45-60” with the other fabulous three

No big deal if Quintana loses a minute if you ask me. Normally it would be a big deal because it would mean he would also lose time in the longer tt to come.

This TDF having this ridiculous nonesensical parcours, I think some riders may have just focused 100% on climbing and said too hell with spending too much time on the tt set up to save 10 seconds in a short tt.

Yes, this definitely.

Froome likewise, I wont be surprised if he does preety mediocore ( compared to what others think hell do). His focus on TT this year was almost zero.

Nairo still lost around 30 seconds on Gesink. Gesink's not a bad TTer, but I would expect all three of the remaining uber-contenders to be at least 15 sec quicker at a minimum.
