The tunnel chat is amazing.

She'll be scarred for life - possibly wouldn't be had she received immediate medical attention?

Speaking from a similar but less horrendous experience that kind of injury doesn't hurt for the first forty or so minutes, and you wonder why everyone is looking at you the way they do, but after that you wish they'd just get on with it and knock you out with morphine

Time triallists can't have beards.

Some random riders!

switched on telly, to see a shocking bike change..

Some real pain faces going by as well, people grinding their TT bikes at walking pace.

Its a cruel course for sure, thank you for the pics. Can't see past Dumoulin for the win tho.

come on nico.. and eddy the boss

Kelderman really attacking the first bit of the climb after a so-so bike change. Have we seen a real quick & smooth one yet?

Great atmosphere! Nice to see the crowd respecting the riders, keeping their distance

bergen looks spectacular..

Kiri looks great on a TT bike

If he hadn't mis-judged that early turn he would be several seconds quickest.

Won't be easy for Dumolin to find a quiet spot for a quick Dumolin along that route.

I get the feeling Kirienka looked at this course and thought,
'Mmm, not even a mornings work',
compared to hauling the peleton up some mountain.

Moscon climbing in the tuck <3

Tommy Windmills smashing it

Froome has no power-meter?

By the sounds of it Froome not even in the running. End of a long season, he needs to get off that bike and have a kip until winter training starts.

He's riding a negative split. He always does. Don't write him off yet.

I've always known it, Froome's rubbish, really. Time to write him off.

Busted flush

Frooms looks slow. Come one Tommy D.

Has to make up 50 seconds on the climb on Dumoulin though... how does one negative split that

Roglic is a beast in the climb
