Sooo TT day...

 

Will Roggie go yellow?

Will Mr "improve with age forever" do the improbable?

How many places will Maincheese lose?

How will Quintana know where to go if he doesn't have a wheel to suck?

 

I'm rooting for Tahday Pohgatzchar today!

Pretty sure Roglic will be in RED at the end of today...

 

The rest I am not too sure about.

 

Pogacar should be impressive methinks, but can he jump some people? Pretty big gap to those in front of him, you never know...

Whoops! Red it is!

NQ will be on serious damage control today. 

 

I reckon Roglic in Red. It's a pretty flat ITT so the big engines should be able to rip it up. 

 

Pogacar is the current Slovenian National ITT champ, so he can definitely hold his own.

 

Could we see a Slovenian 1 and 2 on the stage...

It used to be gold so you can claim that and humble brag that you used to watch it when it was the first GT of the year. ;)

 

 

The Vuelta jersey colour is an interesting topic. It was yellow before the gold. It's also been white, orange and white with a red stripe....maybe more - I can't remember...

The race of truth

Roggas's best opportunity to make gains on his rivals

Does he want to defend red all the way though. Eish.

 

moments of truth... if he doesn't get red today, when will he? If he gets it today, Jumbo are on the front until Madrid, and Movistar look like the team to beat, but I honestly think Roglic is stronger than NQ and AV. I understand the Jumbo transfer on sunday was a shocker, but if Roglic had a decent rest day, he will be putting hunk of time into NQ that Movistar will have to work really had to get back

Wonder what the 20 year old's time trial abilities are?

So many more mountains to get over to Madrid

 

Great race.

Leading time after 10 guys has crossed the finish line:

 

P. BERNAS    CCC
in 50'55"

 

That is a LOOOONG time trial.... expect big losses by some today....

Yeah, 36km is a massive TT.

 

I guess the thought process is, have massive climbing days for the climbers then give the big engines a chance to gain it back!

Slovenian National Champ 2019... Beat Tadej Mohoric who can race against the clock pretty well.

 

Yes. Of course.

I need a coffee. 

 

Geez, what a prospect.
