From the inner ring on twitter:

The mountains jersey is on offer today, 9, 4, 2, 1 points for the fastest time. So far Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) is quickest, tells RAI TV it was a plan, started slow to save himself for the climb
Haha lol, thats pretty smart if you know you aren't riding GC anyways.
More like the most standard decision you can make.

Great time from Tao.

Sivakov should be even better in theory. Which will mean Ineos riding for GC for two weeks at least.
Tao was quite clearly stronger than sivakov in the tour of the alps, I expect that trend to continue today if not perhaps into the last week.

You might be right, I only watched one stage. But Sivavkov is a better TTer I think. We are about to find out :)

Why is Landa wearing #1? I know last years winner isn't here but why not give it to #2 Dumo?

Demare change it at the bus stop, Ewan at the climb, so they can choose where they're gonna do it?

It was probably assigned to his world champ team mate before his injury forced him out.

What the hell are they doing showing that Virtual Race nonsense at times?

Also, I think the Japanese Nishimura is out because of the time limit.

Cap Doffed

Yates's decision looks a bit less crazy now the weather's holding. Knows exactly what he's got to beat

Could've sent me then.

Less cost to fly me over.

And you'd certainly look more entertaining than the Japanese.

I think they're showing the virtual ride (from Thursday) of the real-life rider on the screen, so maybe a "race against themselves".

Nibali to Eurosport: 'I had a good time, now I should go to the bathroom according to Yates. I don't know if he really said that or it was emphasized but let's try to have respect of all riders here at Giro'

Fun times ahead.
what did he say ?

23 second gap to your nearest rival in such a short TT is emblematic of Roglic’s incredible form.
