Is it buggery....climbing even 5% climbs/drags is f***ing horrible On a TT bike
Bikes unbelievably uncomfortable even in the tuck, if not on extensions even worse
just going off the map on official website.. not seen any action. coupel fo bumbs but doesn't look like anything concerning

Shortly after start they have a climb of about 5% for a km....and another later, rolling in between.
Nowt mental, bit not a pan flat power course

It’s a painful course - like an 800m run. A very, very long sprint
Movistar lost the first now

Sky leading the way but Rowe and Poels dropped...

Average speed seem to be just under 55kmph - won’t be much in it, which is good for the overall result. Astana could be on track for 3-4th from an unofficial time and Movistar seems to be in trouble. SKY hitting 61 kmph on the flat part!

am I right that if Sky nick 14 seconds then Big G goes into Yellow
edit 15 seconds... any of the TT favorites have people ahead of G

With the pave coming up for Movistar they will be under pressure before even hitting the first mountain.
BMC in a good form with 7 riders still on

A bit of kick in the stones for Sky, especially if Sunweb go quicker than them.
