Giro Stage 19 ITT

Quite and interesting stage today with a 26k ITT up what can only be described as a bloody steep hill.

With points reaching 14% i dont think the usual TT specialists will be out in force and i dont think we will even see a TT bike.

Made no changes to my team and keeping faith in what i have with 4 transfers for tomorrow should i need to change anything.

Hesjedal mechanical. Damn!
That's his chance of podium over I think.

Rolland nowhere near Aru but should have had him instead of Hesjedal.

Could you have fit pozzovivo in?

Hesjedal or Rolland was the decision last night.

Then I thought of the KOM bike

So I picked Hesjedal.

Not so good. but I do have Henao and Cataldo

Same. Hesjedal is normally better than Rolland at TT but Rolland is obviously on better form right now and the mechanical didn't help. Hesjedal has had no luck at all.

I think Rolland was 4th ahead of Pozzovivo in 5th. Anybody notice where Roger Wilko finished up?

1,2,3,4,7,8,14 plus standings, in hindsight dropping Kelderman+Arredondo for Pozzovivo would have been a good idea.
