If the Tour goes back to 100 kilometres of time trials in a few years, Jungels would my favourite. Steady progress, just need to fine-tune the machine. The guy has a special engine.

He also has an ITT in the bank.PremierAndrew said:Valv.Piti said:The field is better, but 10 minutes? Bobby isn't the kind of rider who just cracks..
Anyways, point being that British fans such as Premier Andrew shouldn't feel so confident as it will be a walk in the park to get this jersey.
He lost over two and a half minutes to nibali on blockhaus alone, and without the crash, I think it's safe to assume this is where Yates would have finished roughly

I think he really fancied his chances to smoke the skinny climbers ahead in the sprint. If he's got strength left, there's absolutely no reason to just sit and do nothing, Dumoulin or no Dumoulin.Zinoviev Letter said:I'm always entertained by the "mate's pull". Nibali got one from Cataldo on a previous stage, but Jungels really buried himself helping Tom.
And last year he was 4th (with Majka) out of the GC guys on the last mountain stage, beating Chaves and Kruijswijk. He was also fantastic in the Andalo stage. He needs GTs to last four weeks, he'd put minutes into everybody!Dekker_Tifosi said:yeah but the last 2 days he was on par if not better than Dumoulin, Mollema etc..
Sure, but that doesn't matter much if you've already lost 7 minutes.Dekker_Tifosi said:yeah but the last 2 days he was on par if not better than Dumoulin, Mollema etc..
