    I haven't a clue how they calculated it, or what TTs they have included or excluded, but this is what ProCyclingStats reckon the GC will be after the ITT on Tuesday

    I can't open the link. What do they predict?

    Tweet seems to be gone but it was Roglic in front by around 1.40 if I remember correctly, but Dan back up to third which isn't certain by any means

    Carthy finished 8th in a similar TT in last year's Giro. He's pretty good when he wants to be.

    Without knowing anything about Hugh Carthy's TT abilities I would have presumed he would have been handy enough. There are very few of his stock (ie that came through British Cycling) that aren't decent time triallists.

    I think he has a decent TT, but he didn't really come through their system like a Thomas or Wiggins. Did his own thing as far as I'm aware.

    Jon Vaughters (boss of EF) reckons this Giro ITT in 2019 is a good comparison. No Dan or Mas but the other 3 were in it

    Roglic won. He was 1:30 ahead of Carthy (a great 8th) and 1:55 ahead of Carapaz (in 11th)

    There's also the kicker at the end. Probably not long enough to justify a change of bike, but maybe the climbers will take a punt on doing so?

    Also have to factor what that finish will do to Rog's head...
