Whatever, he's going to crush your boys tomorrow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I've been stuck in the only Euro hotel I've booked for years with no Eurosport the whole week. My riding AM/Giro PM routine has been ruined

Right, time to play your cards; what will the podium look like tomorrow evening?

1. Dumoulin
   
2. Quintana
   
3. Pinot
   

Depends on nibs and his powers of recovery now he is not in kazakstan !

It's a big ask for Quintana to keep his losses at less than 2 seconds/km. So Dumoulin is the favourite. So there's not much fun in picking him.

P, D, Q.

I'm failing at math.

Dumoulin

Nibs

Pinot

Barring any shitting, motos, mechanicals of course.

There's no way NQ will hang on.

P
D

Why was Pinot down 2:42 on the first ITT?

Would love it if Wee Nairo smashed it and went like a mechanical rabbit at the races tho. Fuck the haters etc. just 'cos he looks like a tiny pink power ranger

Saving himself for tomorrow.

That presenter who isn't a triple jumper on Eurosport, Brian something, said earlier he thought Quintana, Doomoo, Nibali, Pinot and maybe even Sacharin would all be on the podium.

Dumoulin
Pinot
Quintana

Got his rest day ride wrong, would be my guess. Either went too hard or not hard enough. He had an off day on the Stelvio stage, also after a rest day, too.

Science* says Dumoulin will win.

Brilliant.

Windmills
T-bone peanut
Quintana

@Cycliste agrees, even if Thibaut nearly caused her to miss her flight from Basel to Gran Canaria due to being a hopeless fuckwit.

Best time trial ever, surely?

Not even top three.

1. 2013 National 24hr
   
2. Cadel's 2011 TdF
   
3. That one in the 80s or something with the hairy guy and the aerobar guy
   

Who is this Cadel you keep talking about? Never heard of him.

The Aussie that won the Tour before that Belgian guy did.

Cadel is a made up name surely, no-one has a name like that, it's ludicrous

I mean say it a couple of times it's just weird.

I refer you to the list above.

1 - Windmills <> Turbo Penis
3 - Nibbles
