    Looks like Bertie is alone, although he has 2 in front grou. Aru looks to be struggling

    How accurate have the time gaps been this week? It's looking awfully stable atm.

    edit: aru dropped?

    Aru dropping like a stone back to yellow Jersey group. AG2R setting blistering pace up front, 2:19 gap.

    Bardet flying in that front group...Sky might struggle to pull this back

    I reckon that final climb is tailor made for Sky, so doubt alarm bells will be ringing yet.

    Were Sky trying to force other teams to help with the chase by letting the gap go out or was it a glitch in the A.I.?

    The sleeve on that Ag2r kit are annoyingly long.
    Correlation is not causation.

    Interesting thought from Holy David: Froome are letting the gap go out in order to neutralise Bertie attacks. If gap is say a minute Bertie could attack and win, bigger gap Froome must be v confident. Ettix now chasin, gap coming down

    So Froome is nervous if he feels the need to push on downhill.

    No panic. The Kenyan has this under control.

    Pierre Rolland is the anti-Froome, his head always seems to be tilted really far back when he's riding...

    He rides a tiny bike for a man his height, doesn't he? Very upright climbing position.

    10K attack from Bardet..but thats ok...he is French

    Long way to go Bardet, and I wouldn't discount Pinot because he didn't follow the wheel quite yet.. He's not as explosive and it's 10km to go...
