That can kick off when Froome loses 3 mins on the cobbles because Sky have packed the team with climbers for whom the cobbles are merely something they've read about, with the sole exception of G who was held up by a crash and unable to help his leader.
This dreaming lark is interesting...
But if you remember the last time the tour hit the cobbles the GC contenders did not do to bad. It's more a case of not getting any bike issues and it was very exciting as well. I think Froome would cope as well as anyone else. Contador rode well last time.
The last time the tour hit the cobbles Frank Schleck crashed out with a broken collarbone and Bertie lost a minute - there were 7 sections / 13.2km
In 2004 Iban Mayo wiped out and there were only 2 sections about 4 km!
This year there are 15 km of cobbles spread out over nine sections!

Yeah, but apart from that they didn't do too badly. One of the main contenders did quite well even though he only had well known climbing domestiques like Cancellara to help him out

In 2004 the postals basically assassinated Mayo, the average speed for the stage was over 46kph and at times they were touching 40mph (apologies for mixing metric with imperial, the 40mph bit is from memory) - Mayo had no chance of closing the gap.0 -
After the protracted and complex nature of Bradley's transfer from Garmin to Team Sky, I would expect his exit to be similarly lengthy and complicated.0

Interesting that Gerry Ryan says: “Bradley rang Whitey up and had a chat. We haven’t gone out [for him] because he is still under contract,"
