The time trial should be the only chance of anyone gaining ground but it's a short, flat drag race. I'm not familiar enough with Kreuziger's (5 sec.) or Nibali's (12 sec.) TT skills to know whether either of them can beat Horner by enough to overtake him.

You're assuming neither guy can get time in tomorrow's stage aren't you? Whatever the case, I'm really enjoying watching the T-A. Those Italian back roads are something!

You're right...I'm assuming Spartacus and the gang can keep control.

Nice result for Nibali in front of his tifosi today. Never been a fan of Horner, so I'm happy with the result.

Also, what's with Bennati up there? Isn't he a sprinter?

On short, flat TT courses sprinters can often do very well.
