If this situation continues, Vauquelin will become the favorite for the GC. He's very good at this type of time trial.

UAE needs to lose only 2 minutes in this stage. If so, Almeida can still win this race.
I do think giving guys like Vauquelin, O'Connor, Gregoire and a few others in that several minutes of a headstart is dumb as hell. This route isn't selective enough in high mountains for Almeida to make enough of a difference on some of those guys if they do a good TT

They obviously set the odds before the breakaway went clear. There is quite a serious climb and Almeida is the best climber. Who else would you give favourite status to?
I just think he's the kind of rider who prefers to save himself a bit in the beginning of a stage race.
