    You take the pink I take the stage...

    Is the correct answer. Naro will gift him this one.
    If he can stick with him at least, it's meant to be pretty steep in the last k, can't see Quintana waiting if Ryder can't keep up there!

    Is the correct answer.. ;)

    It's been bouncing around a lot, I think we just need to wait until we see the gaps on the line

    Seb Henao making it rain. Neo pro and could rip up the whole Sky team bar Froome. If his cousin was racing then they might have someone in the top five.

    Not sure which performance is more impressive, Quintana or Hesjedal. Fantastic stage.

    have to agree...

    Barring that TTT crash Hesjedal would now be close on the top step.

    Fantastic ride by Nairo but what a performance from Ryder. Hugely impressive from both of them.

    He's taken time on some days that he might not have been given the opportunity to get if he'd been right up there on GC from the start.
