    In comes Kwiatkowski. Love that guy. That's nothing to be ashamed of on a stage like this.

    I've never seen an attack look so stupid than the one on Contador. It worked but it really looked ridiculous.

    With Bardet just behind him. Two exciting prospects.

    He was in the same shot as Contador crossed the line. What don't you get?

    He was only 6 seconds behind Bertie come the finishing line. Bertie suffered big time after he got dropped by Nieve.

    Yes I am, or I wouldn't have asked.

    Don't understand why..................

    Anyhow, NOT GOOD when entire Tour decided already.

    Mollema only 1'46" back from Froome. Contador 1'40". Ten Dam 1'53"

    Because Contador only put 10s into him in the end.

    Meh.

    The Tour was decided when the marginal gains were put in place and then when Froome was tabbed as the leader.

    Anyway, Froome is fragile on the hilly stages and uphill finish and we have plenty of those left in r.. Oh, that's right, we haven't had one. No wonder Gilbert turned up to this with only a semi-good form.

    Froome's cadence when he attacks is really impressive.

    Why isn't Frenchie here (and why is he blocking me) when his man has wheelsucked his way up the Ventoux behind a EUS youngster? The world is so unfair.

    Can we stop with this "decided already" thing? I thought it was "decided already" after Ax 3 Domaines? Lots of racing to come, and one bad day from Froome is all it'd take.

    Poor Contador, Evans, Schlek and any other amount of people. Think Nibali is potentially the only man to challenge Froome on this form. Hopefully there can be a Nibali v Froome showdown next year.

    Its the way to attack someone with a kick like Contator though, if you kick, he'll just kick as well, wind up the pace more gradually and he can't deal with it.
