Careless from Aru to lose so much time there.

Careless of him or the team?

Good ride by Froome - back in Yellow

Can't do the steep stuff tho

I haven't seen today's stage yet but being a dick won't make me change my opinion.

You can't be really go into a finish like that outside of the top 20 wheels or so, and that really was a masterclass in positioning from Froome/Kwiat. Obviously he had the legs to get up the climb in fairly decent order also, 6th on the day among that company is good going, but most of that was from his position going in at the bottom.


@ferris - I am not being a dick, you're just incorrect, as proved again today.

In your opinion.

I've not seen today's stage but looking at the result and reading a report, I'm not sure about your gloating (which is definitely not dickish, obvs).

lol, this is almost like arguing black is white. You're mad. Enjoy Froome finishing 1 sec down on the best hill sprinters in the game, because he's just a diesel. Jesus wept

I don't know how many are left ,if any but most of Aru's team are out due to various reasons.

Commentators yesterday kept saying that Fuglsang should retire as his injury is not going to heal on a bike.

Astana have only lost 2 riders, Cataldo and Fuglsang. The rest of the team just aren't up to protecting a leader. 3 were in the autobus today, the other three finished 62nd, 91st and 109th.

Tyres squealing on the vehicles following Martin on his descent! Just the 80 km/h or so - cruising.

Very poor form with the booing there.

Great recovery from Froome...

Froome, because he's English/a winner/a Sky rider. Take your pick.
