So Rolland riding basically as fast of a TT as Cadel.. Cunego riding as fast as Andy.. Fränk losing 2.30 to Andy?? No comments :D
 
Cunego's an ok ITTer. Contador might finish top 4. However i would be surprised if Voeckler does not go quite well, probably even better than Frank. Basso will get passed by Danielson i THINK. Rolland will be hard pressed against Taaramae who did the Dauphinie. And hopefully Cadel will beat Andy. Out of the top 10 only Danielson, Sanchez and Contador could logically do a better ITT.

Looks like a comment.

I was right that FS would lose big but didn't expect AS to lose that much.
