[Billie]

some nice NC jerseys on the road now

Polansky was 1.22 behind Oliveira at the first check and Oliveira just caught him.

Only Oliveira and Dumoulin can now beat Bodnar. Another stellar TT for him. Poland might surprise in TT with Bodnar and Bialoblocki

 

[BigMac]

Oliveira also lost quite some time on the second part. What happened?

Re:

Started too strong. Bodnar is going to win it

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Wind probably increasing

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Dumoulin vs Bodnar now. Go Maciek!

Re:

I don't think Maciek is going anywhere for now.

 

[KyoGrey]

Wonderful scenery. I remember back in time the cathedral was all black, it now looks gorgeous after they cleaned it.

 

[Sasquatch]

Bodnar has this won. The wind is too strong.

 

[Flamin]

Coppel impressive in the last part.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Dunoulin will put almost 3 minutes into Rodriguez and Aru I think.

Re:

JVDB is riding the Vuelta???

I believe the word is ninja.

 

[ice&fire]

Dunoulin will put almost 3 minutes into Rodriguez and Aru I think.

That'd be a huge improvement for Purito considering that he lost 6 minutes to Velits 5 years ago in just 7kms more

 

[KyoGrey]

I've got the feeling that there are quite a number of people here in Spain that want Dumoulin to win.

Re: Re:

This stage will witness the birth of a new cycling legend

The legend was born when he smoked the best climbers in the world on stage 9.

I didn't see Contador there And the others have Tour fatigue.

He has a Long Way to go to legend. The Tale of Tom was born is more like it.

OK, the best available climbers. It doesn't matter if some had Tour fatigue, they should of stayed home, history will only remember that Tom kicked the following ****: Froome, Purito, Quintana, Aru, Valverde, Majka, Pozzovivo and these are only climbers from top 10 of that stage.

That was an eternity ago. In the last two years his time trials have been far better.
Last year he lost less than 2m to Tony Martin in a route only 4km shorter.
However, as we all know this is a third week time trial so wild variations in performance today are going to be expected among the GC men. Rodriguez could do anything from keep the jersey to lose 10 minutes.

 

[damian13ster]

Yeah, I believe Dumoulin will win the Vuelta. I so want Majka to get the podium though.....
I know he is dead tired, but he has to ride the TT of his life

 

[dgodave]

Go Chavez!

He said the best climbers in the word

Chaves is off! How much do you all expect him to lose today? I honestly don't even know what to guess.

According to that Dutch professor he'll be within 15 seconds of Bodnar's time

 

[BigMac]

Oliveira says it's starting to rain a bit.
