    Froome can't descend eh
    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.

    We've driven over Chat when we head off to the alps skiing the last couple of times (though not this route - we go through the tunnel, unless it is closed when we've had to go right over the top). Stunning views usually, especially with the planes landing at Chambery over the water below you.

    Froome is absolutely flying down this

    What a descent this is ... helped hugely by the camera bike which is somehow able to keep up ...

    Hard to see with the bike behind Porte if Froome is Nibali'ing it and taking to too close to the edge but you can't fault his effort ...
    Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.

    Looks an insanely nice road to ride down, when you can guarantee you won't hit anyone coming from the opposition direction.

    Froome seemed to be very gentlemanly there in not boxing Porte out of it?

    Dunno Carlton probably still going on about Froome overtaking on a hairpin on the descent.

    Froome opened the door for his ex-mate, :P too late.

    Surely he was the one who closed it in the first place.

    Gonna be a good couple of days. You can also see Kwiatkowski's ride details on Strava as he puts them up each day.

    Oooh, that was good. Had to go out at 17km to go, managed to avoid the results. Impressive descending from Froome. Will CK ever calm down about Froome passing Toblerone Boy? Señor Hairplugs and Bertie lost a fair chunk of time there. See this more as Portes to lose, ideally Froome needed to take 10" on the line (which is what it looked like he was trying for with his downhill skillz). Should be a good weekend of racing.

    Pretty good result and hopefully sign of good form for later on - Dan Martin and Benoot.

    How did Contador end up on a different time to Valverde?
