Lol @ Movistar car letting Castro draft it. I never understand how the commissars ignore this stuff in time trials.

and now Castroviejo drafting behind Etixx rider for 30 + seconds lol

It's Spain... What are you expecting?? In France it was the same thing, TV and commissaires work are a bit biassed for TT.

Edited: Castroviejo 13" over Lampaert on 12.5km mark, it seems to me that he has this in the bag, he always improves on last part...

This reminds of the 2012 Giro where Pinotti was cycling about 10m behind a motorbike for the entire time trial.

Unless Castro wins this by a huge margin I think 2nd place just got robbed of a stage win.

Quintana has this Vuelta done, if there are problems a helicopter will appear behind him

If that happens, the wind will take him out of roads, so I don't think it will help him... ;)

Konig pushing hard for a top 10 this stage ... even 50 minutes down
Puccio and Golas went hard as well, kind of silly if you ask me with tomorrow's stage still to come.

Ludvigsson expects Froome to gain 1½ to 2 minutes on the other contenders
For Froome to gain that much time he will have to break 46 minutes...
You expect Contador, Quintana etc to go under 47.5 minutes?

As impressive as Sunday's ambush was, the Vuelta was over from that day. Race for podium is still on though.
