How do you know they didnt from this?
Why wouldnt they use it when rivals such as Movistar have the same technology too?

Quick Step: Bauer, Gilbert, Jungels, Lampaert, Terpstra, Vermote
BMC: Dennis, Dillier, Küng, Oss, Scotson, TvG
Orica: Durbridge, Edmondson, Hepburn, Howson, Impey, Tuft
Sky: Doull, Froome, Kiryienka, Kawasaki, Moscon, Thomas
Sunweb: Dumoulin, Kämna, Kelderman, Kragh, Matthews, Oomen
Lotto: Boom, Campenaerts, Clement, Roglic, van Emden, van Hoecke

That's some real firepower here. So who will win it?

Normally I don't really care about the TTT much and don't watch it but this line-up makes it very tempting to watch. A real clash of the titans.

Didn't even realise Lotto NL were taking a team that good, though I don't know van Hoecke but the other 5 are super strong.

Van Hoecke has a track background. So no real surprise

The average will be much lower than Qatar with the hills..

Well the route is very hard and hilly, so I wouldn't expect too fast times. Very nice that the conditions are good though! Should be a fun and close TTT. Sky are my favorites.

I'm not sure what their starting line up is but Movistar has great potential with Castroviejo, Dowsett, Sutterlin, Amador, Izaguirre Insausti and Oliveira.

 

[markene2]

Movistar sure has a strong lineup

 

[Monte]

AStana behind Continental team CCC by 8 seconds at 10.5Km Mediate.. 12:06 best until now. Pretty fast in 10 and a half km..

Edit: Lotto_Nl new best with 11:52 in first mediate..

What colour did you think they were wearing in the Vuelta?

Re: Re:

Pink?

I didnt see the Vuelta stage. Kiryienka started for SKy now, looks slow as usual ..

 

[Monte]

TEam Lotto NL still in lead after 12 teams passed..

Edit: 10 sec later SUnweb took the first ofc . Exciting!!

 

[spalco]

Sunweb's looking really good imo.

 

[silvergrenade]

All the teams out on the course now!

 

[b.broadhurst]

Is there an injury or something to Kiryienka?

Riding out of time trial position all the time at the moment. Can't get into TT position?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Damn. Sky look strong

 

[markene2]
