    Talansky dropped by Porte I think
    Yep, they've got a decent gap on him now

    This kind of thing really annoys me. Would have loved to let him have his day!

    Should move to a proper classics team then

    I am sorry but this is bike racing as I remember it; this is just mental.
    Doesn't suit Froome obviously, but who gives this is what every tour should do.

    Post of the thread IMHO.

    Wonder which Bianchi Boom is riding?

    Judging by the headtube, its an Infinito CV, I think?

    Would make sense. Biggest win for Bianchi for a while?

    Great effort from Nibbles, huge respect to him and Astana for controlling that stage
