Even in the rain, there were faster times than Bissegger's.

Only Cort

 

[Carols]

No. He was leading by 9 seconds to Powless, 14 to Porte and 20 to Bjerg. At the second split his lead is now 23 to Porte and 24 to Bjerg,

Okay I'll stop believing what Phil says LOL!

I know dude, I was making a joke on both of us - amateur pundits that we are

Getting closer to your estimation...

Valgren exit interview:

Saying the wind has picked up, which means tailwind for the first half and headwind for the second half.
Also says it makes a big difference the roads have dried up.
Further says the team is very happy with their new TT bikes, that they all feel is improving their chances, and says "we live in a world where equipment is king".

Great ride by Küng, let's see if anyone can beat that one.

They know what's the target at least.

SKA 5th @ 1st check

Even in the rain, there were faster times than Bissegger's.

Ah ok. Fair enough. I just assumed this would be a big goal for him. Had a great season so far too.

 

[Carols]

If one trusts what NBCSports says Sonny and Primoz bumped knuckles and where cordial in the start area.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Great TT by Porte, 3rd fastest

 

[Mayomaniac]

Porte just behind Cattaneo.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Ah ok. Fair enough. I just assumed this would be a big goal for him. Had a great season so far too.

He may have given up due to the conditions during his ride.

He is still ultimately here for Uran, and if he felt half way through, that he had no chance at the podium, he may have taken it easy on the second part.

 

[Bolder]

Ineos may regret not protecting Porte more.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Primoz started

 

[perico]

Not terrible by Superman
Great ride by Porte

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The Watt Monster from Kolding is looking GOOD

Good point. And Uran seems to be in the form of his life too.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Roglic with more hip movement that usual?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Incidentally, TTs always being a pretty dull watch, I heard a dad joke the other day:

"What is green and sings?"

"Elvis Parsley"

- you are welcome

 

[limak_]

Ayayay, Primoz not looking comfortable, look at those hips movements..

 

[ppanther92]

Roglic has an insane amount of movement in his upper body compared to other specialists.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Roglic with more hip movement that usual?

I was just about to post the very same thing!

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Rog on the edge there

 

[Faserr]

Roglic with more hip movement that usual?

Yes. I think he is in pain. :/
