Time gap is increasing... and Froome looks like he's trying to take a ride on the back of the second chasing group rather than pushing on - he may not have any more.

But it's only a 9.2km TT - and a minute over Froome would probably be enough for Nibali.

Froome's hope has to be that the front three start pissing about for the stage win...

Sagan, Nibali, Purito - how far back is Froome?

So, 50 - 20 + time bonus for second. I think Nibali has won this race.
True - I hadn't realised it was so short

Well done Mr Nibbles - Froome could bring it back tomorrow but it's asking a lot. He might equally well lose a place to Contador.
Is Nibali doing the Giro or the Tour this year ? Froome lost out on the really steep climbs which won't be seen in the TdF but if Wiggo comes up against a rider with similar skills at riding really steep stuff in the Giro, he's going to need to TT incredibly well to win it.

Like watching Savoldelli... it was really Nibali's descending that did it today. Froome can't match him on technical descents.

I think Nibali was stronger all round in the last 20km, going up, going down and goind flat to be fair to him.
He was one of 3 on the flat and Froome's much larger group only made back 15 secs on the flat section.
