His pacing of Froome on Thomas's bike was immaculate. Just smooth leading up of his race leader, never panicked, had seemingly a proximity sensor because he never stretched Froome. Very impressive.

He's doing a lot more on his own than those two too.

This has been a great stage to watch... Well, that has shaken up the GC big time! 25 seconds separate 2nd to 4th. Very exciting.

Looking a good bet with 9km to go...

Falling like flies down this last descent. Yellow just gone front wheel going from under him on the central white line, Mollema off, several riders going straight on into woods instead of going around the bends. Nothing like a bit of rain to liven things up!

Will be just as big for them to get on the podium and Quintana is only 21 secs down on Yates, 45 secs on Mollema. Just whether Quintana has anything in this tour at all, or whether he's just come for the scenery? Any of the top 8 could get a podium, so some interesting racing in prospect still.

Toe clips, down tube gear levers, silk ribbon bar tape, no helmets, those were the days!

I'm sure he is loving his face planting itself on the back of a motorbike being on the highlights reel of this tour.

Porte has looked in good form. If he hadn't had that unfortunate puncture, may well have been still on the coat tails of Froome. I'm going for a Porte win, Yates to retain his podium position.

The way I see it Sky are the only team that just go all out to win the tour with 1 leader, everyone else in support. It is a luxury most of the other teams don't subscribe to. It tripped them up in 2014 when Froome kept falling off and dropped out, because they had nothing else, no GC or...

Taking yellow out of it Yates closing to within 26secs of 2nd is pretty exciting, imagine what he could do with a GC machine around him!? He's looked incredibly assured on and off the bike this tour.

Don't think he would even if asked. I think he sees himself, rightfully, as a team leader and GC challenger. That isn't going to happen if he joins Sky.

Really sad. A racer herself in her younger days. No doubt would have years and years of road experience and awareness.

With Chris Froome going into today as holding the Yellow Jersey for 38 days, now 5th in the all time list, the list itself makes very interesting reading. 2 time winner Fausto Coppi has held it 1 day fewer than Tommy Voeckler. Fabian Cancellara has held it for an astonishing 29 days for...

:lolol:

The missile winning 4 stages has somewhat countered it being truly dull as dishwater, as well as Cummings brilliant breakaway. :thumbsup:

Was Kittel complaining about how dark it is inside Cav's pocket!? :lolol:

Can someone delete this post!? :stupid:

Spartacus got to be worth a little e/w bet today as a last hurrah?

I think the whole Sky thing is probably a driving force. If he was riding for Tinkoff or someone he wouldn't be getting this level of abuse. No one looks more suspicious than Nibali in my opinion, he can seemingly be in shocking form for a couple of stages, then bounce back incredibly. In his...
