Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
How much time might Roglic reasonably be expected to gain on Mas in the upcoming 30k flat TT?

2 minutes seems a lot to me, especially as this isn't prime Primoz. But I wouldn't have thought it impossible.

The pundits seem to think 2 minutes would be easy for a Roglič in form, but he's returning from injury, so 1 minute might be all he gets. Mas has rarely ridden GT tiime trials that have mattered, and has been inconsistent in those that have. So 🤷

I think Roglic will gain at best around 47 seconds on Mas in the TT. Mas seems to be in best ever shape and Roglic is nowhere close to prime Roglic.

Matthew Brennan has come across as a bit of a whingy moaner this week.
too dangerous on one sprint stage, too hot today.

I didn't hear either comment, but I can't help but feel he's got a point about the temperature. Hayter, Almeida and others have also been fairly vocal about it. The peloton is also down from 184 to 150 after just two weeks, a handful of those leaving were yesterday because of the heat
