Talking about the TT's, you even get Wilco Kelderman you is 26 and much better than Louis unfortunately at the discipline so unless LM starts attacking up mountains to gain time like Andy use to he will always be on the back foot when it comes to TT just like Andy was.

This is why you win Fantasy Leagues...

"It was a real time trial, when you had to produce huge speed. But there was a lot of side winds and so it wasn’t easy. I kept moving on the road but it wasn’t easy to keep the speed high because we did some parts at almost 80km/h," he said.

What was Meintjies time, looks like he lost lots of time overall today?

38th on the stage +3'42"

 

Faster than both Yates boys and Chaves

Smaller riders like Meintjes, the Yates brothers and Chaves was always going to struggle in a TT with lots of wind. You can try and train to mitigate it as much as possible, but you have a much harder battle to beat the physics involved than the bigger riders.

Lopez, Kelderman, Jungels.... good rides!

Find the gap between 14 and 15 of interest.  Louis is (certain) of 14th bar any major meltdown but will find it impossible to get into the top 10 again. Looking forward to the Angliru. Could produce major time gaps although top 10 look solid.
