Time trials in grand tours really need something like a virtual head to head using GPS, or at very least more intermediate time checks than there are currently. The last charity run I did in my local park had the same number of intermediate time checks as a GT time trial.

lets hope the red jersey will bring purito more luck than in 2011 :eek:

Or 2010 which was an all time awful time trial for a leaders jersey.

He's also obviously lost a Giro jersey on the time trial. Today will be 4 (is that a record).

Amazingly he somehow managed to hold on comfortably in 2012. Yeah I know it was a hilly tt but still.

Hiding the head well - look at JRod his head in way above the body, Aru looks like he's done some TT training

Individual starts in cross coutry skiing are indeed nicer to follow as there are intermediate checks roughly every 8-10 minutes shown and every 3-5 minutes available. But it's obviously easier with 5 km loop.
