Re:

Kiry really struggling it seems...

It would almost be surprising if Sky doesn't win this. Their team is just incredibly strong.
Thomas: 2nd in the first giro TT and 1st in the first tdf TT
Kiryienka: 5th in the first giro TT, 4th in the second giro TT and 3rd in the 1st tdf TT
Froome: 6th in the first tdf TT, 3rd in the second tdf TT and 1st in the vuelta TT
Kwiatkowski: 8th in the first tdf TT, 2nd in the second tdf TT

These are only the top ten spots in the gt ITT's and while Doull (who has simply never ridden a gt ITT) is a bit of a noname I think I also don't have to explain that Italian TT champion Moscon is a very strong rider for a TTT. Also I think it's quite telling that Poels who got 7th in the vuelta TT beating guys like Kämna or Jungels wasn't strong enough for this squad.

LottoNL might lack in climbing guys for this TTT.

Movistar best time after the climb

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LottoNL definitely too slow for the medals.

Re:

Katusha doing much better than expected!

 

[Gigs_98]

Who was the trek rider dropping all his teammates on the climb? :lol:

 

[Frankschleck]

sunweb <3

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dumoulin did almost the entire climb for Sunweb: -55s

Lol

Yep, losing time to lesser teams on the climb and winning it back on the descent/run in to the finish.

All by Dumoulin as well. Was leading almost the entire climb

 

[GraftPunk]

Sunweb is nuts!

 

[Monte]

Sky just 4 left in the hill!!!

Kiryenka using biggest gear ever and dropping his teammates.. lol

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sky already with 4

Sunweb did it a lot better

 

[Gigs_98]

Sky down to 4, doesn't look that good for them anymore

 

[Frankschleck]

kireyenka wnet up to fast

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dumoulin destroys Sky.

Lovely

 

[infeXio]

Ooooooh, Sky crumbling

 

[silvergrenade]

Froome says dont wait! Not good at all!

Re:

Aint over until the Cigar!

 

[TMP402]

Sky dropped Thomas, then waited too long. Double fail.

Re: Re:

Sunweb have all 6. Sky had 4. No chance.

BMC or Quick Step are the challengers. I see Sky only fading

Lovely

Giving too much credit to Domoulin..
He might be the strongest; Doesnt mean *** in a TTT
