Stage 13

Stage 13, 54km TT

The Individual 54km TT would see the GC change and the rain would keep the TT honest. At 1:31am this morning (Oz time) the results where in. Staying up was the only option as this was the stage to watch. Vino showed his pure TT ability and pulled back large time gains on the GC and moved from 19th to 9th over all. It was a good day in the office for Vino and watch this space I think Vino will be a contender after all.

Cadel blased around the course coming in second for the stage behind Vino. Cadel now sits 2nd overall with three days in the Pyrenees to come and 60 seconds off the yellow Cadel is poised to make it or break it in the mountains.

Tips for the week ahead. From the way things are looking I’m tipping Vino to slip into the top five if not even the top three if he has the legs in the mountain. Cadel will need to ride a smart race not giving time away to the other GC contenders and wait for the second TT to pull on the yellow.
