    Wonder if Pozzovivo will turn it on like that freak stage last year.

    I presume Kelderman will move up on GC

    Expect Quintana & Hesjedal to move up also....

    And maybe Uran

    I still have my doubts about that result...it is possible they made a mistake with timings/transponder ?

    Pozzo was beating Tony Martin fro most of the stage and was third just behind Martin & Cancellera,with a considerable gap to rest of the field ...and beat a flying Nibali

    Today will surely show if it was a fluke or not

    I know it's a TT but I'm guessing the GC riders will get out their binoculars, look at each other and do nothing.

    Quote from Quintana:
    The problem in my glutei muscle is almost gone, it doesn’t hurt me anymore. Now my problem is that I've got a bit of catarrh, a sore throat and headache. My nose is blocked too.

    Man, 62 minutes best time so far - that's one long TT, so a huge day. Just saying they expelled 2 riders from the race for yesterday finishing 240km race 16 seconds over the limit, man that's draconian.

    It's tough having so much in common with a world class cyclist.

    I was wondering how to emphasise the immensity of my inner emotion, and not mad about exclamation marks & the like, so it was down to man, god or sheesh, and man won out.
