    has any other country ever advertised that they are the host country for the worlds? fed up of qatar's "dramatic" ad that their gona be some sort of amazing event for holding the worlds this year. may be with their lack of cycling history they feel they have to try harder.

    That AG2R helmet is awful. Goes well with the awful kit they wear.

    Ouch, Dan 31 seconds down on Aru....looks like he will be a little bit off the form guys and certainly will not be climbing places but only maintaining position at best

    average from Dan, thought he would do better on this type of route, will end up about 17th or 18th, not far off the position he was for the flatter time trial, gutted

    Dan will actually drop to 10th, Meintjes beat him by 20 seconds and goes 3 seconds ahead of him on GC

    If that side graphic is right then Froome is putting at least another minute into the top ten bar Porte. He's close enough to challenge Dumoulin.
