    Cannondale seem to have the whole team up the front now as they go through the bell
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Dumoulin attack off the break has been a good one. Has circa 15 secs

    Rain is back in the mix. Intxausti for Movistar has bridged to Dumoulin. Cunego trying.

    Stages like this just tell an evolving story. No other sport comes close.

    This climb is a monster, rides struggling to keep peddling without help from spectators.

    Froome isolated. Looking over his shoulder. No Sky train. Flustered.
