    6 Saxo in front group, bad news for Froome!

    oddly this may work against sky because movistar may no go all in with Quintana and sacrifice valverde and open the race up.

    Quintana is 5 mins down and will presumably loose a bit more in the next TT so not looking good for him.


    CAV is up in the front group too! Big move that...

    Stannard, Kennaugh & Thomas for company. Great move by Saxo. Plotted for ages no doubt.

    Yeah a bit complacent I guess! It'll be a learning experience for him :) Nice job by Cav to get in there too, Greipel didn't make it.

    The way this is going, I'm going to hit my 1,000th post in the next day or two!

    :shock: :D :shock: :D

    And quite deserved Lichtblick...how time flies eh?

    Careful, someone mentioned that in the MTB section and the modmins reset it! ;)

    and looking at your approaching round number that probably wouldn't be too good for you either?

    *Has a look*.....Oh yeah....

    Brilliant racing this.

    Reminds me of last year's Vuelta.

    OPQS and Belkin sharing gels. Cav looked a little bit bothered that they've dumped Froome.

    Lovely group working together at the front though. Wonder if Sky regret letting Porte drop back now?

    Dunno, but Bauke is my PTP pick, so this is all good stuff!

    Who's with Froome?

    And what time is it on Eurosport?

    Poor Peter Velits is in the second group with about 8 bidons, but his teammates are in the front group.

    WOW

    Was not expecting this today. That really sucks that Valverde is now much further back especially as it was due to a wheel change. Will make him more aggressive in the coming week for a stage win I suppose. He has good form on the Ventoux.

    His team tried hard for him but that looks way too tough with OPQS drilling it in some heavy winds.

    Mollema and Contador attack. SAXO monstering the front group. SO PRO. This is where Froome could suffer without his team. Total bingo that Cav is there. I hope BMC and Katusha fail.

    Are Mollema and Ten Dam in the front group? or with Froome?

    Gap stuck at 10s. Doubt Cav is thrilled with this. Working in tiny group in last 30km.

    Yes, why are BMC driving on the front?

    Does Froome have any teammates there?

    Stannard?

    Sky obviously nowhere near as strong as last year.
