Netherlands dominating right now. I expected them to be good cause they have a lot of good TTers in their team, but 4 out of 5 right now is something else. Don't see how they can lose the TTT on sunday.

Carlos Rodriguez in 9th currently, Ayuso in 10th, seperated by 10 miliseconds.

EDIT: Price-Pejtersen takes the lead!

Vandenabeele 38"
Paret Peintre 47"
Umba 52"
As a Colombian I get deflated by these results. It looks like Umba could be another Sosa. :disappointed: He could not ride a bike outside of the mountains. Hope some things change.

I think it's a bit early to tell. He wasn't that bad in the Vuelta al Tachira ITT for instance.
Today he was terrible but it was also a very short TT, which probably favored stronger, more explosive guys.
