Thomas was s.t. as Cancellara at the intermediate point but he lost 28s in the 2nd part. Monster Cance

Think first part was mainly headwind and 2nd part mainly tailwind. There was less wind at the end of the ITT (which makes the win for Cancellara more impressive) so that explains the intermediate and finish time from Canc vs the GC riders.
 
I don't think that was great from Contador ...given that Thomas beat him about half a minute and Thomas trails Froome in TTs...Needs to improve for the Tour ...with Pinot & Izagirre ,etc beating him too

He is been training for months ...don't see the improvements needed here

I agree, expected better from Contador and whilst his results against some were ok I never expected him to get beat by Pinot. Just like yesterday's stage he should have finished ahead of some.

Don't be ridiculous. He got his arse handed to him in yesterday's MTF by non-climbers and today he was only 20-something seconds behind some great ITTers. He finished ahead of for example Zakarin, Vorobyev and Stannard who are also great ITTers.
