Yes and no. It's 18k slightly uphill nothing crazy, but if their form is consistent, Almeida could possibly take back @2+ second per kilometer. Today's finish line interview, Yates said that Joao agreed to let him win the stage. So maybe it's already discussed that Yates has a better chance of holding off a 2 minutes back Bernal. Either way not easy for either guy.

Slightly uphill nothing crazy? That's quite some underselling of a 10km at 8% climb. In my book that's a legit mountain TT.

Edit: Or have I missed some stage alteration?

I don’t see Yates losing more than 1 minute to Bernal with the respective current form of the pair

You got it right, I am just using a sliding scale, that they will not have to race 100-120 k before, short and sweet, who knows someone could crack. You know I am singing the praises of Onley and Del Toro, either guy could come up with a big final day and big surprise. Onley is going well

Wait, what? You claim that the TT is "slightly uphill" as if the last climb today was an uphill drag or something and then you claim that "Yates has a better chance of holding on Bernal" as if Bernal would have any chance to stay close to Yates/Almeida on a "slightly uphill" TT, yet alone win more than a minute.

Tomorrow's TT will go to the best climber and Bernal isn't the best. I think it will be another 1-2 for UAE with A&A separated by 10-15 seconds max.

That logic from Yates, LOL. Tomorrow is uphill, anything can happen honestly. It is not for specialists, but for riders that are in the best form and that can recuperate very well. So basically he took another stage win by smart tactics!!!!

It's 10km 8%, in fact, the TT is the same last 15km of stage 7 with the same exact climb and finish line. Both look like climbing a similar level but they haven't been able to attack each other and almeida has mostly been working for Adam. The climb is hard enough for big differences just depends who recovers better.
