Totally agree on watching ITTs - something I never ever do. Even a huge fan it's a bore.

With 6 riders with 90 seconds and 4 within a minute seems to me the Tour really needs to change their format. The giro has consistently been a better race from a fan's perspective for a long time.

I'd be happy with Dumoulin, it's just that I've been predicting a Nibali repeat here for a month, but agreed about Quintana

Gawd, this ITT is like molasses.... Not a good way to finish a GT.

From the Cycling News live feed:

"Italian television reported that Dumoulin was going at an average speed of over 60kph in the opening kilometres"

To the SI unit challenged, that is 37.5 mph.

There's some craziness happening. Tom seems to have a ~58t big ring. Insanity!

Loving today. Getting to watch this, Monaco, and the Indy500 is a nice day!

Quintana looks terribly uncomfortable on his aero bike.
