This, did you see how his shoulders were moving around from the start? Clearly not as much on his tt bike since his injury and who knows how that shoulder affects his TT position.

Imagine Roglic doing stretches during the bike change before Monte Lussari before going full Horner and going out of saddle for 28 minutes straight

Holy smokes, McNulty is the best rider in history. 61 km/h average for 7 kilometers, only to smoke everyone on the climb by more than 10 seconds as well. Never before seen, goat.

Haha, I hope he was at least awarded a custom Tudor timepiece to commemorate the historic effort. :cool:

he has been injury free for um...months now.

what has been stopping him from training on the TT bike as Remco did even in the last few days...?

I'm late to the party, did the 'Remco should also do the Tour to try the double' discussion already started?

only it would be the triple...

as he would then hold all three at the same time.

Bwahahaha.

NO! Please no. win this first, then belgian road, euro road, worlds TT, San Sebastian and Lombardy.

i know, i am not asking for much.

Who says everything is back as normal? It was a big surgery and Jumbo weren't even expecting him to be ready to race Tirreno.

and yet he won three stages and the overall.

apparently still horribly injured.

Did the same again at Catalunia.

then two months off.

okaaaaaaaay... ;-)

Wow, incredible result. I was in shock initially and thought Remco could do the unthinkable - hold pink until Rome. Can he be a new Indurain (result, not stature)?

But now I have settled down I can see we still have some scope (hope?) for an exciting Giro. McNulty's performance was really impressive and we still hope Roglic's performance may have been hindered by his injury. Still there are 49km of time trialing left and stage 9 is almost flat so that will again expose any lingering issues from his shoulder surgery. And we can't be certain Roglic is going to beat Remco in the mountains anyway.

I am also surprised how far back was Thymen Arensman was - 32nd @ 1'31". Was expecting better. Still he is more a climber so we will see.

Arensman's best results in TT's are at least on par with his best climbing results imho. His Vuelta stagewin was superb, but it was from a break. His other victory was a TT. He has 3 WT TT podiums.
