    A saving grace for Kelderman is that Bilbao & Fuglsang will catch him soon so he might have some help sharing the work load.

    Nope!! Wow - poor guy.

    Fuglsang and Bilbao could yet win this stage and go to the top.

    Aye hard to see if Tao can keep it going how Kelderman takes pink, he has 1"20s to play with as it stands!

    You'd have to question Sunweb/Hindley as they didn't contest the intermediate sprint.

    Wonder did the team car not i form him?

    Bilbao drops Fuglsang and has the gap to the leaders under a minute with 6k to go.

    Since Tao lost Dennis he's done nothing but loose time to all the rest. I don't know does he have that much

    That sprint was irrelevant. Whichever one wins the stage is ahead in gc

    There are so many hairpin bends and they are so tightly packed together it seems like you will never reach the tower at the top of the climb

    That road / tunnel looks incredible.

    Coming on for 2 minutes to Kelderman, that would leave under 1 min to reclaim on Sestrière x 3 and the ITT on stage 21 for Hindley and Tao.

    The road between the tower and the finish line was gravel when I was there last year. It was gravel for the women's Giro last year too. They made it all smooth for the men :pac:

    Its a lot less than that:

    1 2 ▲1 KELDERMAN Wilco Team Sunweb 77:46:56
    2 3 ▲1 HINDLEY Jai Team Sunweb 0:12
    3 4 ▲1 GEOGHEGAN HART Tao INEOS Grenadiers 0:15

    Hatch giving all the credit on the day to Dennis while Sunweb win the stage and take the pink. Ha

    Kelderman by far the best time trialist of the 3 so let’s see what happens on Saturday now

    Don't think todays stage of the Vuelta can top that. A stage win for Dan might help though

    Aye I forgot the bonuses accrued, very close indeed. Kelderman took 27 seconds on Tao in the long TT, he will probably take around 10 at most in the final stage, so all to play for! Hindley he took over a minute from and Tao close to a minute.

    I was second guessing myself there, thinking "I could have sworn this was a gravel road in the Giro Rosa last year"
