ignore that, he's virtually ahead of Nibbles, and has gained 31 (out of 53 needed) vs Quintana
looks like you found your suitcase of maths first 😉
I'd guess he'd ride his own race rather than mess about with pacing to worry rivals. Time at second checkpoint seems to suggest a fairly even effort.
Shame it's looking like Pinot will be the one to miss out on the podium.
this is too close!
I had 39s in my head but that's Quintana's lead over Nibali
Nibali was only 14s ahead of Tom
It's a superb way to finish from our point of view. They might not agree...
Jungels takes white then
this is too close...... 9s currently TD vs NQ
9 secs in it
Nail biter!
2s!
**** me someone just came to the door! GO AWAY!!!
2secd the other way now?
Edit: Too slow.
I do love a ITT as the final stage of a grand tour. It's not just good for the last day but makes the lead up days in the mountains more meaningful. Can the climber put enough into the tester to be safe, can the allrounder not loose too much in either. Just great at putting riders of different shapes and styles head to head.
Dumoulin virtual lead by 7 according to GPS, which isn't accurate
COME ON TOM!!!!
stay on your bike tom
A minute down on second split. Dumoulin virtua pink! Come on!!!!
Looks like Quintana is cramping up the back of his left leg. Ouch.
Edit 52km/h average!!
Euro sport has Niro 1 month and 0 sec behind!
34:15 needed by NQ
Ha, brilliant ride by Tom.
Good lad.
Is that real maths 😉
Nibbles is ragged
Yeah sort ya hair out!
Can't see Quintana making up the time in the 3rd split. Needs to be 1.08 or more back on Van Emden for Dumoulin to win I think.
He's losing time.
Good solid ride from Nibz, nice to see him bury himself.
justice!
Fabulous, top man Tom.
Got to say he's the best "all rounder"
Fabulous.
wow! great stuff.
So well deserved!
blimey
Dumoulin was shitting himself till he saw 60 seconds at the 1k mark.
Superb stuff. Well deserved. My nerves are shot! 🙂
Best Grand Tour for years, justice for Doumilan! Wow.
Italian organisation!! even at the end those splits / target times were wrong, he won by 30-odd seconds in the end!
Dumoulin was shitting himself till he saw 60 seconds at the 1k mark
Not for the first time in this race.
fantastic bike racing
Must admit, I didn't really fancy the idea of a last day TT but it turned out to be great viewing. I guess there'd always be riders ragging it for places, even if the leader was out of range all along
Fantastic finish. Gutted for Yates and Pinot, but a well deserved win for Tom
Laurens Ten Damme just casually dropping the f-bomb there 😀
Fantastic race this year. Deserved winner.
Hmmm.
I wonder just how much Dutch Beer will be drunk tonight.
Gotta love Tem Dams attitude, another super cool Dutchman.
Steve Cummings barely containing his excitement there.
Well deserved winner - so glad Quintana or Nibali didn`t get it.
Was surprised to hear he has signed up till 2021 with Team Sunweb - I thought he would have made a superb addition for Team Sky; a super domestique for Froomey ... and a natural successor too.
