    Dennis bleeding from his right leg???? Has he been off?

    EDIT: Kirby saying he didn't see any marks on him how could he miss the blood.

    Jaysus, Froome 's average enough performance so far is killing Kirby - he is barely managing to cover it up. Wait till you see, he'll shed tears yet.....

    not tuned in long ago but within a few minutes he,d already been bleeting on about how fantastic froome and sky were in teh GTs and the GTs had them undercooked for the TTT, the same TTT that had most of the teams from the GTs

    Roglic looks like he is absolutely flying up the climb on the road bike compared to riders who stuck to the TT bike

    Froome - Roglic could be the other way round.

    Great ride by Nico ...he is not a TT specialist

    He gave it everything and that is all you can do

    Such a pity he is so much an all rounder as he definitely throws himself into everything...

    Monster performance from Dumoulin. To take that amount of time even before the climb and then another chunk out of Froome an co. on the climb. Amazing TT.

    Had he considered the TT and delayed his retirement, I think Contador could have picked up a medal today.

    I think Tony Martin will be in a foul mood this evening.

    Great ride by Nico alright. That field was stacked. Not many time triallists were missing. Thomas, Kwiatkowski, Valverde, Quinziato, van Emden the only notable names I can think of. Contador I guess if he hadn't retired.

    This is the best field assembled for a time trial that I can remember. Usually a lot of riders skip this race, but it seemed to be a target for lots of riders. 12th in that company is serious.

    I feel a bit sorry for Dennis (probably would have come 2nd or 3rd), Gougeard (6th to 8th) and Bodnar (who knows) for their crashes. But then again, staying on your bike is part of time trialling so maybe we should temper our sympathy.

    That was the most enjoyable world championship TT that I've ever seen.
    I wouldn't like that type of parcours every year, but once in a while is good.

    Yeah, I agree. Nice every once in a while, but I think time trials should be a test for rouleurs.
