Tao should have the advantage on paper, but does Hindley have slightly better legs? Unable to ride away today. Both dug deep. It will depend on who recovers best and who gets the momentum going from the start tomorrow. 15,7km... just go full gas for as long possible and hope you make it to the finish before running completely empty. They both got everything to ride for.

Nibali (Antonio) is only 74 seconds ahead of Rohan Dennis. Can he hold him off in the timetrial?

Absolutely amazing that after three weeks of racing we have two riders tied for first on GC. Tao the favourite to take pink but we can't write off Hindley. Physically and mentally Hindley looks primed he certainly is not showing any signs of pressure. The pink jersey will lift him. The rider with the pressure of expectation is TGH.

Maybe closer to 20s, but I’m predicting nothing after what’s happened this year.
It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if it was a few seconds either way.

Presumably never going into a penultimate stage TT either.

There was too much that’s happened after, and no way of knowing how it would have worked out, and nobody could have predicted Dennis going all Ride-of-the-Rohirim, twice, at the time, but Kelderman closing the gap to Hindley, when he really should have let Hart do it, looks like a worse and worse move every day since. It turned out to be the last time they had him isolated, and in hindsight was their best chance of the Giro to make him do some work.

I really don't care if he does but he would have to fall off his bike to lose 1'20" to Bilbao or 1'40"+ to Almeida to lose podium tomorrow... It's only 15km flat...

Nobody should be using stage 1 to try and predict anything here. Look at stage 14 when they were both trying...
Very few previous TTthrough either of their careers where they were riding them late in an event with an individual incentive to do a great performance.
I would pretty much throw TT records out of the window and think this is more on who handles the pressure better and who still has a bit more left in the tank.
At least both will be in special jersey wearers suits so it won’t end up about marginal gains on skin suits.
