Strong ride from Froome there, I thought he might win the stage for a minute to show everyone just how strong he is.
I was thinking that Rodriguez went a little too early and Froome would take him, but he timed it to perfection!Watching the crash again . . . . . ouch, that was nasty.

I don't think Cav can be blamed for Martin not getting yellow. Although he does tend to sit up earlier than the other sprinters. I'd still be pissed if I was Martin!
Whilst I don't think he realised/remembered Martin could have got yellow however, even if he had, it seems the only person that Cav cares about is Cav.Granfondo said:
Very bad luck for Sparticus but it's shaping up nicely for the GC boys!
SKY will have to work really hard to protect Froome in yellow.
I suspect they'll only cover the main contenders. If someone else gets away and pinches the lead between now and the mountains, they'll probably be happy with that.SKY will have to work really hard to protect Froome in yellow.
Anyway, cobbles tomorrow

Maybe if Renshaw hadn't pulled off with nearly 400m to go....
E-QS making another tactical pigs ear of it, as they seem quite prone to? I was surprised at how early the commentators were calling Renshaw. My first (and only) thought was "Where was the rest of the leadout?!"? A victim of all their time at the front?Granfondo said:

You couldn't ask for a better team to do so: Thomas and Standard on the cobbles, Konig and Porte for the climbs (and Thomas if needs be: he can haul himself up a sodding great hill quite rapidly if asked). Assuming they don't make a mess of the TTT, they'll be OK on that too.SKY will have to work really hard to protect Froome in yellow.
