I think you underestimate Bertie's TT really much. Contador had major TT results last year for example. He came 2nd last year in Pais Vasco behind Martin, 2nd at Dauphine prologue behind Froome, fourth in Algarve (Kwiatek, martin, Malori) and fourth behind Martin, Uran and Cancellara at Vuelta. He even was close to Froome in Tour 2013 which was when he was in his worst shape ever. All of them except Algarve are hilly.
Yes, but we talk about recent Time Trial results and these have been some of his recent ones.
Besides, the profile of the Giro TT. Notice the pattern.
HAHA! Love this!!!!! Yeah that first 30 k's will be interesting to see what happens being so flat, how hard are the climbs? Also there is a flat part from 40th km to 50th km as well |

He will lose a minute to Porte, oh and I believe he is a better TT'r than Uran by the way
Edit: Maybe not a minute but he will lose some time to him

Well, we'll see soon enough how the TT pans out.

Meh too much flattish terrain between Molella and Serra, taming the racing somewhat. Something should happen on the last climb though.

Maybe Astana's new tactic is that Contador falls asleep on his bike?

Time for the Fabio Aru show again but he can't shake Contador yet.

EDIT: Fuck off Tiralongo. C'mon Tom!

Tinkoff Saxo is an abysmal team for GC riding here but Uran has it even worse.

I was expecting Landa top 5 but Aru has been surprise and sensational. He is like Contador of young age. Keeps attacking. |
