Sorry I meant to say 95% to get Gall

Ah, my bad then, I didn't get that.

1 kg of beef jerky perhaps

Full flavor satisfaction for the long haul

Great win by João Almeida!
Still, being 33s down on Vauquelim is not going to be easy to bridge tomorrow.

Vauqulain also has amazing hair

Both Joao and Vauquelin are interviewing with a Swiss commentator on SRF right now - so much awesome hair in one place.

Amother one! Most wins in a season for Almeida. Well done!!!

What was the distance of the TT example you posted?
Says tomorrow is @10.1k with @800+ meters of elevation gain.. I guess Almeida could do it but he is in tough company. Don't think Alaphilippe is threatening but some other guys are riding solid.. Even guys deeper could come up with one good day at 10k!! Going to be exciting.. And I didn't see starts, but if it's 30 seconds.. He will have to pass and catch to win!! if it's one minute starts will make it more routine!!

 

[Red Rick]

Oscar not your attack to bring back

I said he was a fool two days ago, and he proves me right once more

It was longer, but because the start was flat.

Tomorrow's climb is more difficult than last year's.
If Vauquelin lost 2 minutes on an easier climb, tomorrow he'll surely lose more than 30 seconds.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Almeida wins by a minute, maybe without that long range attack he would not have made it in the end, he wouldn’t have done that last season, did similar in Basque too. He was in better form last year at Swiss but is a more confident and assertive racer now, plus I think he will get a little stronger for the tour, peaked a bit early last time.

Last year's TT was 5km of flat then 10 km of 8%. Tomorrow is 9 km at 9% with hardly any flat. I'm surprised that so many are doubting Almeida's chances. It will be mildly shocking if Vauquelin keeps the jersey.

 

[Cycling111]

@noob Humans... but the winner will win the overall and three stages.
Almeida is far superior in this competition. The first stage undermined him, but really, just looking at the results of last year's mountain time trial, we knew Almeida would win.

The times are misleading only because of a mistake in stage one, but this doesn't look like a race between humans, but rather between a far superior cyclist and the rest.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I'm still watching SRF and the aging Swiss rockstar is putting an inner tube and tire on the rim, and now he has two people helping him - the Swiss aftershow is fun!

Could be, guy is a really smart rider, he keeps a wheel better than most..it's going to be wait and see which guy masters self pacing!!! Uphill!!
As far as TDF goes lots of quality everywhere you look!! Even on and off O'Connor settled down and is only a minute in the hole. Onley has been showing form..Lipowitz is not all the sudden, he is good..Get a better sense of quality contenders from Switzerland than I did from Dauphine..@12+ riders looking like they can be in the mix.. Tour is big ..180+ starters!!!

I am just going with overall calories crunched.. Almeida looks like he has been really really working hard for multiple days, to me he comes off stronger than everyone but also higher degree of toasted!! And like you are saying that 9% grade is an advantage for his form, guy looks like he is really really well prepared. I am just trying to fit in, go with the flow, say anti anything UAE, bet against the best for the sake of a bet..

I see it very clearly. I posted the result: he lost 2 minutes, and tomorrow's climb is even worse for Vauquelan because there are sections at 12%. Last year, it wasn't as tough.

None of the riders in this race will make the top 10 at the Tour. Only Almeida.
The level of the entire top 10 at the Dauphiné was superior.
Alaphilippe isn´t at the level of a top 10 climber in the Tour, and here he´s been among the top 5 strongest on all the climbs.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Didn't see the race, what happened to Riccitello?

crashed out before the coverage started.

Loosli on SRF said something about a rider being transferred to hospital, but that may have been someone else, as Riccitello continued the race at first.

True, Riccitello did continue to ride after his crash, so the hospital transfer might have been for another rider who DNFed today.

I agree that Almeida is on another level than the rest but he's very much still a human. The only thing not human about him would be his ability to hardly never ever crash. He must be by far the least crashed winner of a WT stage race ever.

Maybe with 44 seconds he would have had a chance, but I think he'll lose more than a minute.
The climb is too steep for him.

He made a mistake today. He should have launched the sprint closer to the end. With today's bonuses, I don't think he'll win the overall.

Well that's that then, Almeida to crash in an uphill TT!

I've watched him for 4 years, never a scratch. It's insane.
