Lil Richie. What a psychical specimen. If only the Tour was won on the rollers, the spinning cycle or Swift

Porte is just perfect for tt's like this.

Bernal also great, that guy is going to be a phenomena if he can keep on improving.

Also, nice to see Nieve doing so well. A long mountain stages obviously is different to a FTP or w/kg test like this, but still nice.

Great comment by the danish commentator: "This is a discipline made for Porte. There's no one to crash into, he doesn't have to descend and he doesn't have to turn."

The commentators also mentioned that...

"Every sports directors always say to their riders: 'don't take the wheel of Porte on the descents' "

Ok haha wow.

Crazy time! Not sure if Roglic can beat this :)
Hmm. Porte leaves some room in the 2nd part. He only gained 4 seconds on Kruijswijk between 1 and 2.
Costa was faster in the 2nd part
