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?

Yates will win tomorrow's TT. And people complained that Pog didn't leave any crumbs for others at the Giro, but what about Tour de Suisse?

Yates is decent enough in TTs, especially uphill. Almeida might win the stage but I don't think he takes 30+ seconds.
I don’t see Yates losing more than 1 minute to Bernal with the respective current form of the pair
They let the climby sprinters have a go in the first 2 road stages.

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
that a call for help?"cause I didn't want to attack my teammate..."

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.

Oooh I was wondering if it was a Samoyed. I've met one and they're amazingly pretty!Yates said hello to a beautiful white dog after the race, was it an American Eskimo?
Edit: apparently it actually might be a Samoyed - beautiful, fluffy dog either way.

in the post race interview at SRF, Yates said that he asked Almeida to allow him to win, as tomorrow Joao will beat everyone by at least one minute anyway.
UAE!
A. Yates vs. Almeida in the TT tomorrow! Can yellow give A. Yates a little extra?

If Yates not talking in hyperbole I can't make sense of it because it sounds too much.

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.

I thought Yates was that kind of person. Still not convinced on either with him and Almeida. I'm absolutely not convinced of the idea that they're bitter rivals just playing for the cameras.
Majka though seems rather selfless?
