    Tom is third fastest at second time check.
    He's not going to win the stage anyway

    Pozzovivo has the most arkward pedal stroke. Knees at crazy angles, horrible to watch. Yeats holds pink.

    Dumoulin never seemed happy on the bike. A few little shakes of the head and what not.

    Yates' finish consistant with what many thought he would lose on the TT. Solid performances by some of the world's best time trialists.

    This was Tony Martin's face when Aru crossed the line...

    I'm sticking to my prediction that Tom will only take 70 seconds out of Yates's lead.

    Some big time penalties handed out today. The UAE guys were the worst affected with Aru, Conti and Ulissi hit with penalties. Aru looked close to a moto in the final Km. He may have had more moto pacing out on the course that we didn't see.

    Conti and Ulissi were taking the piss from the pictures I saw - basically a two man TT. They have 2 minute penalties... ouch!

    Other riders were penalised with 30 seconds.

    2fms report on this was next useless

    Dennis won the Stage, Froome was fifth, gave Vague info on Yates and Dumoulin that TD closed the gap but by how much wasn’t obviously important. Then They proceeded to tell us Mullen and Bennett’s GC rankings

    (At least they mentioned it I suppose)

    Froome can still win from here if he puts in the performances he showed on the Ventoux few years back

    I dunno. With Aru's post rest day form we could be up for some incredible performances over the next few days.

    Watched the Eurosport coverage last night. Jaysus. He looked like a triathlete tootling around the Phoenix Park.

    He got pinged 20secs for drafting, is it possible he got a whole lot more help off camera, like 2 mins worth and that explains his good time?

    I would hazard a guess that he got a lot of help!
