I think it's possible Ras will lose a moderate amount of time on the TT, and agree with EDR that if Disco backs Contador all the way (which seems likely), someone else might have the MJ in a few days....
The last time trial suited Ras. I would expect him to lose more time on the second one. The race is far from over. I would be shocked (barring chrashes and the like) for Ras to not podium. But even that is remotely possible. A good ride on Wednesday and he could be positioned to be the First since Eddy to have Yellow and Polka Dot at the end.
But nothing is final yet.
