[Velolover2]

Aggressive start from Pinot.

 

[Brullnux]

Rosa 31:05 apparently, according to Backstedt

 

[Simurgh]

Allez Thibaut!

 

[Velolover2]

Superman only 2 sec. behind Yates.

 

[Brullnux]

Henao 4th, 44" down. Brambilla and JVDB 3rd and 2nd respectively, both >30 seconds down.

 

[May0maniac]

Sebastian Henao 4th, 30:50.

Sammy Sanchez looks good. Hope he can make it to the podium.

 

[carolina]

superman lopez with 30:34

 

[Red Rick]

Why do they keep showing Bilbao when all the main contenders are on the climb?

 

[Alexandre B.]

It's definitely the right moment to enlight Pello Bilbao.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Superman not a great descender...

 

[Brullnux]

Lopez loses a lot on the flat, and is 30 seconds down. Great performance by him, nonetheless. This TT is even more for the climbers than last year's Aia TT it seems.

Kirby: nobody cares about who is in 15th place, even if it is Cummings.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Why do we have no images of the favorites on the climb?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Landa very slow.

Re:

Because Bilbao is basque.

Henao just shown for a few seconds on the climb.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yates must have dscended like a demon

 

[bajbar]

Henao looks really quick

Van Den Broeck was even faster in the second bit, but he seems too be the only one

 

[luckyboy]

Great ride from Bilbao today

Brambilla.

 

[rm7]

Bad coverage and no time splits....?

 

[Brullnux]

Fair enough by Visconti, 5th for a guy who very rarely performs in TTs.

And Bilbao! Wow! I take it back. 3rd place.

Brambilla was 24" faster than Yates in the second bit.

 

[Brullnux]

I wanna see Bertie

Edit: Did Sanchez just cross 1st time check in first place? Or am I completely wrong?

Edit #2: yes, I am wrong . Quintana is 28" ahead of Yates.
