    Barguil is well placed. Looks like Yates is there too.

    Not sure about Winner's body art/jewellery choices.

    Winner has 5km to race and a 3.45 advantage.

    Winner is increasing the gap to PK if the ticker is right. Cataldo has just joined the GC group and sets the pace.

    Bertie's team have evaporated.
    Half of Sky still on the front.

    Good effort by Anacona. Anyone else think he's a Kristian House lookalike?

    If I was a GC guy, I'd attack Froome soon. I'm not sure he's 100%. He seems to be controlling things rather than looking to take time.

    (He'll probably shred everyone now)

    GC group is same size. Sky doing well to support Froome here. He has Nieve, Cataldo, (PK just swung off) and one other rider. Contador is next in line.

    4ks, gap stable.

    I wonder if Movistar are not attacking due to wanting Winner to take the jersey.

    Deignan is the other Sky rider.

    Anacona to hold on for the stage win but less than a minute so no chance of the jersey I reckon. Who is left with Froome? Presumably Cataldo, Nieve and Deignan?

    3.2ks for Winner as GC group go though 5k banner.

    I was thinking the same thing. Your last sentence is why I didn't post.

    Barguil has a teammate but not sure who.

    Currently no one looks like attacking. Km 3-1 are the hardest.

    Bertie's going to have to do a lot of hard work himself if he's going to win this race. His team looks weak against Movistar, Sky and even Belkin.

    Do we always get so excited about an 8.5% gradient?

    Sky go backwards at the first sign of pressure.

    Froome not looking too spritely.

    Chaves is the Orica rider not Yates - my bad.

    Barguil dropped. Froome looks shaky
