    Zakarin would have dropped Pantani, never mind Pantano. :lol:

    OK, someone tell me where Nairo is? He's disappeared off the tracking (is he on a spare bike?) - he was there a few km from the top of the last climb.
    Just behind Froome, Mollema & Porte

    Mollema really does remind me of a crab on a bike.

    Real question is where's Froome?! Oh, that's him, hiding in a crowd of Sky.

    Valverde has a little flurry off the front.

    Kreuziger goes backwards. Poels just reels in Dick Dastardly.

    I'm wondering if Froome is having a below par day.

    Zakarin is pretty impressive, cracked collarbone in the giro and now storming up for a tour stage.

    Yes I was wondering that too. He doesn't seem to be shutting things down very quickly. But then this probably means he'll go ballistic in a minute.

    Teenytana is now isolated in this group of favourites as Valverde has gone out the back.

    This is some of the worst cycling I've seen in years.

    I assumed he was leaving small gaps to tempt Porte and Quintana

    Still skulking around the back of the Froome group like a meerkat.

    Could be right. He's probably bored.

    Good to hear Ned refer to Zakarin's drug cheating past. Impressive today IF he's clean.
