To update this. The guy in last place was actually eliminated for being outside the time limit. In a 22km time trial.

I'm sorry but it stinks. Cycling can't afford another drugs scandal
I can't see anything emerging tbh. The likes of GCN have a clear incentive to look the other way so who will do any digging? There's no Walsh or Kimmage any more.
I've watched almost all of Eurosport's live coverage this year. I feel cheated having seen today's time trial.
Their commentary team used the word "unbelievable" about 15 times in the final five minutes. That's absolutely what it was. Unbelievable. Not in the positive sense.
When even I doubt what I am watching, credulity stretched beyond belief.
That same sense of being cheated, but I am reminded of George W. Bush's words. "I don't know, but fool me once (Armstrong) shame on you... fool me twice and..... you can't get fooled again".

Vingegaard achieved 7,6 w/kg. Unheard of.
Froome only achieved 6.2 on his best days.
No way he's clean. No way.

Pog strikes back today?
Probably not, but he'll try - hardest stage of the race. He said himself that his legs went missing on Marie Blanche earlier in the race, but he came back hard the next day, so hopefully he will animate things today. Problem is that a 22 k TT, even a very hard one like yesterday, isn't going to drain guys at this level too much. So I'd expect Jonas to be on song.

Bruce, what was the w/kg for the lad (the one who has done a few climbing vids for gcn) on the horseshoe for the national??
L'Equipe using the same headline for Vingegaard as they did for Armstrong.
