Well done for Dennis, and he gets himself back into the top 10 as well.

Yeah Dennis has been pretty impressive overall.

 

[MrTea1976]

Froome could still win this Giro. Aru wtf?!

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Great results!!

Props to Dennis. If we ever see Areal GT again in the next few years with real TT km he has a real shot for a Top 5 finish.

Let's see if Yates pulls a Crushweak in the 3rd week

Re: Re:

Yates lost 1:15 to Dumoulin.

Exactly what was predicted on the basis of his 20" gap in the opening TT.

That is very impressive, didn't think he had it in him. Based on this, he doesn't have to improve his climbing a huge amount to basically become a Dumoulin clone.

Re: Re:

What? This man has won TT's before, beating Froome and Dennis for god's sake. The pressure is on and he is worse than Carapaz and Lopez.

Yes, he had a bad ride. You still haven't explained how that makes him a "fraud."

fraud
frɔːd
noun

a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.

I'd say this is a pretty accurate description.

Then I would say your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. What has Pinot claimed or been credited with that he does not have? How does he "intend" to deceive others?

The facts are that he rode some good time trials a couple of years ago and has been poor in time trials ever since then. I don't see any deception, much less intent to deceive in those facts.

Martin shows he's still very relevant in a "long" flat ITT.

 

[benzwire]

Yates looks very good going into this last week. Hopefully he will not have a jour sans and he could possible get another stage victory or two.

A shame that he crashed out of the 2017 Giro, with this kind of form he could have fought for a top 5.

 

[Rollthedice]

Haimar Bilbao seventh overall.

Pinot said he expected a Romandie 2016 ITT today.

I think.

Simple linear approximation was appropriate in this case.
It usually isn't.

Big Tom is no Nibali though......

He said he hoped

Anyway best thing about this TT was Tony's sceptical face.

I fear that if Yates did pull a Kruijswijk, it would be Froome the one playing the Nibali role.

<1 min is not set in stone yet, could be an interesting few days yet

Everyone performed pretty much how I figured they would. I'd say the only really unexpected performance was Aru's.

Ah, I wasn't sure. Thank you.

 

[movingtarget]

Pinot once again not making the grade when he needs to. Aru not sure what to make of that, great ride by Dennis and realistically he is looking at the top 10 if he can handle the climbs okay. Dumoulin and Martin good and Yates doing what he has done throughout with consistent riding. Good ride by Froome all things considered.

I think Froome is the biggest contender as well as of now.
