    TJ hanging in...shame about yesterday's off day.

    Nibali attacks and once again only Peraud can hold.

    COME ON MAJKA

    Put that JRod to the sword who assumed he was going to walk away with the polka dots.

    Peraud pulling.

    Pinot should be happy enough with this if he can at least stick with Bardet and distance Valverde

    Valverde has picked up a teammate and isn't too far behind Pinot

    Peraud is the main danger. Pinot needs a substantial margin before the TT.

    Others letting Pinot do all the work, which is helping Valverde's GC situation no end.

    Yeah I love Joaquim as you should be able to tell through my posts.

    Just so happens he was talking as if it wouldn't be an issue to walk away with them.

    As it stands I am not such a fan of Majka but he is a talented rider.

    True, but if he can gain a lot of time on Valverde they could be fighting over 2nd and 3rd instead of 3rd and 4th

    Where's Kiri been dropped to? Can't find him in the standings on Gruniad or le tour website.

    Majka!

    I find Nibali's attachment to Peraud quite noble. He's not trying to shake him for appearances. Classy.

    Mutants?

    just well prepared... you do wonder what Contador/Tinkoff would have done had he survived this far...

    Confirmed winker.

    Friebe reckoned his teammates at Saxo didn;t rate him on arrival, fwiw.

    So at the moment that's roughly 30s from Nibali to Pinot group, then another 25-30s to Valverde

    Well he has had a 6th and 7th at the Giro GC so he knows how to move it.
