I think Majka is feeling the tiredness. His shape is good, but the last few days I believe he has been riding as much on will as on legs. I hope he will hold on to the overall, but I really can't see him not on the podium efter today.

Majka is just going to win this. Last year he only lost 12 seconds to Izagirre. This year he is in way better form.

I think he will even gain time on all the rest.
This TT is pan flat. Any comparison to last year is useless, as is a comparison to TTs in the Giro or whatever.

Last year the last 18 k were also (almost) pan flat. This year the TT is just 25 km in total. I can't see any problems.

This year's long Giro TT had 14 flat kms, there Majka posted the 40th time or so. He was 4th at the finish. See how much those climbs matter?

The climbs in that Barolo TT are not comparable to those of the TT last year in Poland.

Jungels vs Malori for the win. I think Majka will just about hold on. Looking forward to (hopefully) an exciting TT for once!

Have those girls all been standing in a set pose in the starthouse for 2 hours? They'll be building up a fair bit of lactic. Need to stretch, perhaps heel raises.

Does anyone have a functional English stream? I'm not having much luck finding one :(
