Re:

Kiryienka not bothered.

Disappointing, and rather disrespectful to the WC jersey. Wondering if it's his decision or Sky's

Cummings sticking it to the Olympic selectors again. Go on, Stevo.

 

[wwabbit]

Cummings 22" behind Dennis at CP1, 23" ahead of Dennis at CP2, 29" behind Dennis at CP3
Bring on the Yo-yo

Inconsistent time gaps like these could also be caused by random wind gusts hitting the riders at different points throughout the course.

Nelson Oliveira crushes Dennis first split time. Surprising.
Cancellara not even close (+50s)

 

[infeXio]

Cancellara baaaaaad

 

[KGB]

That's good actually.

Unfortunately Edward Theuns was involved in a crash. He's being taken to the hospital now. We will keep you updated. #TDF2016

 

[infeXio]

Nelson Oliveira doing well

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Was the weather forecast correct? Is today's course windy?

Very - apparently.

Michael Rasmussen ‏@MRasmussen1974 37 min.37 minutter siden

Rohan Dennis 1.guy sub 52 min. Crazy wind. Lars Bak changed from tt-bike to a normal bike with 22K to Go. #tdf2016

 

[McLovin]

Thibaut abandoned?

 

[TomekA]

Any comments from riders about wind?

EDIT: Ok, I see above now.

 

[geargbest]

I think he's gonna smash it today. He practically couldn't have designed a better route.

Provisional stage leader Rohan Dennis spoke to letour.com: "Overall I'm happy with the ride, it's been a tough Tour so far. Considering it's stage 13, it's a different feeling time trialing with super fatigue, especially when the course is so hard, not just the climbing in general but the wind as well played a huge part. I think one major factor for anyone who's gonna be going for today's stage is what wheels they pick. Look, some of the smaller guys might not be picking a faster wheel and just because of their weight and not being able to hold the bike. You've got those crosswinds so maybe it might help us. As bigger guys, you could say… I'm hoping for my own sake that that's the case but it's definitely not an easy course today. It's quite challenging."

 

[TomekA]

Oliveira 10 seconds better than Dennis

Re:

Didn't expect that.
