    touch paper lit, sky will use one rider a time to close, if they cant do it he will have to chase porte is capable of it, froome will be last man and they wont want to use him until last climb, this could cook evans

    Sky should have seen that coming when TJVG went

    Ironical?

    Ligget really is brain dead.

    Respect to Cadel. This is doomed to failure but at least he's having a go.

    Really whittling down the rest of the bunch, though.

    Is the peloton thinning much?

    Sky could destroy Evans on the next climb if they play this right

    Evans should be leading TVG for the white.

    20" so far.

    Good news for Nibs.

    Nice move by BMC. Really committed early though, I have a feeling we could see Cadel go backwards on the last climb.

    Edit: or maybe this climb :shock:

    Evans struggling to stay with TJVG - playing into Sky's hands?

    TJVG needs rear view mirrors.

    Nibali will love this just waiting to go on the 2nd last or last climb

    Yep, don't panic and it's going nowhere. I'd like to see Froome attack on the final climb and put the pressure back on BMC but can't see it happening. Kudos to Evans for going, someone on another thread called him boring and predictable - I didn't see an attack coming so far out myself!!

    And there's me thinking Mick has been sh1t for years.

    maybe it's the feed I'm watching on (it's not overly clear), but he looked ok to me.

    Shame.

    S'abit like that Ullrich attack on the Tourmalet.
