    Richie Porte into Smiling Assassin mode.

    Amazing isn't it, the more it hurts the more he smiles! And looks so relaxed!

    Ha, Contador may try and take those seconds to 2nd place today.

    Froome wasn`t looking too confortable there. Lucky he has Porte to do all his work for him.

    Because generally commentators don't pay much attention to what's actually happening

    I actually think its a grimace that just looks like a smile. But he does look so relaxed.

    Must hurt for Bertie to be reeled in by one of his former domestiques.

    Costa to win surely? 40 seconds plus on a downhill finish - or is one of the chasers an absolute downhill demon?

    contador goes again....

    50" behind Costa with ~8k to go? They'll be doing well if they can close that gap in that distance on a descent...

    Contador isn't attacking Froome so much as Mollema.

    Love this climb. Kreuziger turning the screw. Contador to go again. Mano a mano.

    Can two men really go "one on one" with a third?

    Just something I heard on the commentary.

    Froome being encircled by Movi and Saxo sharks. Need a still for that.
