OPQS and BMC have great teams but I think Movistar could be a surprise. Taking Castroviejo and Dowsett so got TTers in their team and showed in the vuelta that they can do a job. But the form OPQS have shown recently I suspect theyll pull through

I know I backed OPQS, but still, smug.

Big surprise for me is Movistar; they have become a TTT team!!!

Saxo disappointing, Nibali sitting pretty good :) Nice recovery by him!

Banesto and Once were historically great performers of TTT.


Contador should send Jesus to Giro and get Morkov

"Horrible" is just a bit hyperbolic. It's a disappointing result for sure, but it hardly destroys Alberto's GC chances.

Don't bother trying to reason with her, waste of time. Every time Contador loses just a little time, he, according to her, is obviously in decline and won't ever win again.

After all the talk, Sky still beat Saxo Tinkoff even ina ****ty TTT squad from them ? Surprised, but it shows again great teamwork is much more important in TTT than having many great individual riders on ITT (as shown by Liquigas many times at Giro TTT's.)

GC is over, Contador should just give up.

Yeah, no point in racing any more. Sure, he is one of the best climbers and time trialists in the world, but that's hardly gonna help him on a MTF or an ITT. Only the TTT could have saved him.

Obviously he can still finish podium but winning will be very hard now, he had to take time here.
