Reigning time trial world champion Tom Dumoulin will see this as an opportunity to take time back on Simon Yates. Flat time trials where power to weight ratios become less important, create opportunities for the bigger riders to get an advantage over the smaller climbers. Emma analyses what makes a good time trialist and why some riders struggle in this discipline.
