    Roche drops. It's worth burning a few men to drop more.

    Aerial shots make the lead group look bigger than the peloton

    I wonder if Froome makes the gap up by himself before the summit.

    For the love of god, the plural is 'Lackeys' ... Sort it out FF.

    Looks like the rest of the teams have burnt a lot of their own guys too

    Interesting to see how today pans out

    Froome made it back after Poels did it solo.

    Froome looks very comfortable.

    This can’t be right. Sky are all dopers and no-one else is. That’s right isn’t it?

    Break is breaking up, Nibs up front, less than a 1k to the top.

    Sky not looking that good. Froome with Thomas. Quintana moving ahead of him too.

    At the moment this is looking like it could be a very watchable stage.

    Please dont let the lackies back. Just put the hammer down and dont let up.

    The best thing about FF is when he rips Sky domestiques for being in the grupetto and not being effective and then when he rips them for doing their jobs and bringing attacks back.

    Froome back with everyone but Nibali has a few seconds.

    G popped off the back.

    Quintana in the hotseat right now. Just had to follow.

    Wet descent.

    I imagine it will all be back together by the start of the next climb, but there is a chance it won't be.

    Doesn't look like the descent is being pushed there at the moment.

    You lot need to chill out. First step of the plan completed for Quintana.

    Correct on the chill out. Shaping up to be an isolated Froome day though, a lot of people wanted to see that and at the moment it looks like it could potentially be a very interesting day.

    Would having a big climb early potentially give an inaccurate picture of the relative strengths of the riders today? I would imagine that a few may have gone too hard too early and a few aren't sufficiently warmed up so the placings look distorted and the 2nd climb will likely see a more normal order.

    If you'd known before the Tour that Thomas would be Froome's most reliable mountain rescue you'd be worried for him on this stage.

    ?

    They are racing rather than tempo tapping. If you love cycling you get excited.

    Don't try to apply logic. SKY are just bad, simple. I remember when the only people who followed cycling were the ones that liked cycling.
