Course actually seems fairly dry on line. Definitely damp patches off line and in the shadows, but despite an occasional spit of moistuer on the camera, those hoping for a wet day to shake things up may be disappointed, and no one's crashed. Having said that, weather may of course get worse, but no indication of it thus far.
Tony Martin just gone fastest so far with a 40:14. If the course keeps drying out likely more riders will push harder in the corners, so times into the low 39s looking possible

Good to see Tony back to drool face efforts.

Drizzle now. Umbrellas out. Not wet exactly, but cobbles in the last corner look pretty slick.853guy wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 1:54 pmCourse actually seems fairly dry on line.

Simon needs a decent saddle... And yes it's his radio.
Huge ride by Dennis

Another saddle and a proper fitting...
BTW it looks like Pozzovivo's legs give hime an aero advantage

Congrats to Dennis.
Nowhere near the divergence of time given the relatively straightforward nature of the course and conditions.
It was obviously expected that TT dudes would fair better off overall, but Dumoulin looked like he was working harder than both Dennis and Martin, and not really in the zone (if such a thing can be deduced from watching the television).
Good ride from Yates given his own claim he's crap at TTing. And although I'm a Froome agnositc/skeptic, props to him (is a podium possible?).
Onward.

DML should do what contador did , when he couldn't drop purito in the mountains.... try to go in the break and drop him on the flats/false flats.
