Can Boswell hold on for 3rd?0

Absolutely brilliant win for Landa. Dislike the guy but boy was that a worthy win. Massive shame he moves to Sky.
Massive congratulations to my man Aru. Moves into the lead of the race. Very fast ascent.
JRod, don't design a stage and ride wheels the entire way.
Dumoulin, WTF. Aru will have to drop him on every mountain to come to stand a chance in the TT.
Quintana, what a disappointment.
Boswell, 3rd on a very, very tough stage - HUGE for your palmares for the true fan.
Froome, sorry folks. It wasn't to be.
Nice to see Majka doing well.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Yes he can.
Moreno and Rodriguez cross at 1:56 and 1:590 -

Moreno and Rodriguez cross at 1:56 and 1:59
Bit of class from Rodriguez there letting Moreno go first0 -
the finish line looks like the end of a tough sportive :roll:
A bunch of knackered blokes pedaling squares.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -

Looks like Froome can hardly walk on his right foot.0

Fantastic ride by Ian Boswell
He's really made strides this year0 -

Which is heartening0 -

Much as I dislike him, I will say that Froome does have guts0 -
It's a pity Froome came a cropper early on today. I reckon he would have smoked all those donkeys today especially with all his teamates that were up there as well.0

Off for an x-ray...

Only if they're wearing a Sky Jersey. Everyone else gets a free pass including dopers.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -

In fairness, if you idolise Contador, then even dislocating your shoulder doesn't really affect your pedalling all that much...

I am right in thinking Froome crashed into the side of the road whilst going uphill right?
Got to cop some sh!t for that on here, even if he soldiered on.0 -

Seems so. He fell without anyone else involved.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -

Maybe that's just what you get if you cycle with your head down? That and gaps appearing in front of you. I've never been bothered about whether he's watching his watts or not, just not looking where you're going seems a touch risky to me.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Much better stage than I'd expected. Worthy stage win, Aru showing that he's currently comfortably strongest of the pre race favourites, Boswell coming of age and Dumoulin showing he really does have GC potential going forward. Froome showed a lot of guts but should never have crashed. Limited his losses well considering he crashed so early and then got dropped with 2 big climbs remaining. Nieve assuming Sky leadership which probably should have been his all along. What happened to Roche? I wasn't expecting him to finish in the top 5 by the end of the race but the way he went backwards today suggested more than just a bad day. Quintana was a bit disappointing, I thought he'd have been able to keep up with J Rod.0

That's what's being said. I haven't seen it but it sounds ridiculous and completely avoidable/amateurish. Ironic considering he showed his class on descents and cobbles on his way to winning the tour.0 -

Porte has said that Froome would ride into him on training rides
