Any word on how woods is hanging in?

Very well. Will only lose about 3 mins to Ludvigsson at the finish once he gets there. Then we'll see with the stage winner.

Contador's position starting to get very ragged. Has he gone off too hard again?

He's lost about 30secs to Poels between the splits.
Yeah, you can see it in his position. His head starts to pop up, the shoulders roll, the teeth come out...

No just 11. Contador had 26s advantage at first split, 15 at second.

as i said froome even if he moves his shoulders a lot , has just too much raw power he is recovering

You crack me up. Seriously, you write so much rubbish. (Sorry mods, but I can't bear this anymore.)

You spent half the build up to the TT talking about Froome not doing well. Froome doesn't start well and you parade yourself as a prophet having predicted all of this and start talking about Nibali gaining a lot of time.
Then Froome comes back and starts putting in time on Nibali and suddenly you pretend as if you predicted that too and now, seeing that Froome is so strong, you are all over how amazing he is.
