Rutsch (first place in the moment) was 1 minute faster at 10 minute downhill then Britton (second place at the moment).
Rutsch is a decent climber but not a really good one. The time trial probably suits the power climbers really good.
 
Why is there a 2 hour break between Rosskopf and Carretero?

Because, as opposed to most TTs in stage races, this is not a circuit (or close to it), but rather an almost straight line, across a mountain pass.

This means that every time a rider reaches the finish, the DS and his car needs to make it all the way back to the start.

I am guessing there is no good alternative roads, so they will have to close down the TT route, to allow cars to make it back to the start.

Alternatively it's simply because the alternative route takes a long time, so a break is needed to reset everything.

Badilatti said that Küng may have a shot, though. Personally I'd think it'll be a bit too hard for him, but will be interesting to see where he ends up, if he really gives it a go.

Küng should both be a better climber and a better time trialist than Rutsch. Of course we don't know how well Rutsch has actually done yet, so he might need to be a lot faster than him in order to win, but a top 5 could be possible.
