    Sherwen: I think they'll pull that group back

    Liggett: you said that about the Valverde group earlier!

    Big tiff!

    Surely the Froome group will catch the Contador/Cav/Sagan group?

    Sagan is there, Griepel is with Froome.

    Well that's some consolation for him at lease.

    I don't think Cav will be fussed at all. He's killed all his rivals.

    Just do a TTT boys, not long to go. Bury yourselves.

    That being said, might be a lot of effort for little gain.

    Yeah Lotto won't let them get away... they must just be waiting for Cav to tire himself out.

    Sky happy to lose a bit of time and take it a touch easier, risking it that Contador, Mollema and Ten Dam are burying themselves and will be knackered for a stage or two?

    Psychologically important too, I would think.

    4.5 mins for Valverde.

    Contador on the front drilling it.

    Four Sky boys now on the front of the second group.

    I don't believe that, it's too long for him. Contador on the other hand...

    Valverde will finish about 6mins down on the Froome group I reckon.

    Better than Sagan, Kittel and Griepel though. Can't really ask for more than that?

    Assuming for a mo that the Contador group get home before the Froome group, that's only going to shave a few seconds off Contador's deficit in the GC though.
