    This could be dangerous for Froome - he has Schleck alongside him on a descent! :shock:

    Movistar have achieved nothing for all that, except ensuring Sky's total focus is Froome.

    I'm actually gaining some respect for Froome here

    Oh my god, oh my actual diddy flipping god, how have Movistar ballsed this up?!!

    I had a "Froome blew and they were scattered" line planned but Frrome barely had to fart!!

    They need to brain dope.

    There's a greater chance of doing something against Froome on the flat than up. Saxo knows this.

    Quality work by Quintana. Showed more class then the whole of the Sky team this year.

    Have the Sky team gang banged your missus or something?

    You are lucky we aren't watching this in a pub together.

    No, he doesn't. Fuglsang has the same style as Kiriyenka.

    Sorry, I meant Martin looks so bad that he makes Fuglsang look good!

    Embarrassing.

    Porte 10mins back. I guess he gave up.

    Porte looks unsurprisingly naffed

    If Porte is 10 minutes down I hate to think how far back the autobus is. It'll be dark when they finish.

    Dan or Jakob for the sprint? Not exactly Cav v Greipel!

    No one should be surprised they cant drop Froome. He is ET at the moment so it is very hard to do so.

    Frenchie - I like you but that is just childish
    Alanis Morissette IRONIC pish.

    Gosh with Porte 10 minutes back you'd almost think he was human. :shock:

    Yeah but they need to make up, and gain time on Froome, they re not gong to do that! They might win the sprint or gain 5 seconds but who cares?

    I undestood perfectly. Still don't think it's correct. Jakob has a great style.

    I cant' quite believe how badly Movistar and Saxo cocked this up. Incroyable.

    Hope you used plenty of lube on the cd to stop it chafing.

    They were speculating at 30mins if the stage runs on schedule

    I lost mine whilst Tom Cruise's Cocktail was on in the background.


    MSPS / Saxo = disappointing fail. Great stage but they really needed to do more on that final climb.
