    So is the attacker gonna be Froome or Aru - and on the final airstrip or on Pereysourde?

    The group has stopped bleeding riders for the time being.

    Froome will wait, then shadow, then kill

    ITV saying Quintana has gave up on contending the GC.

    Did he ever challenge it ?

    Stupid unwritten rules!
    But as Millar said on commentary - it was a stupid place to attack
    Maybe so, but they didn't have to actually slacken, they could have kept up the same pace and made Froome and Aru (and those of Sky who dropped back) work a little harder to catch up.

    Landa looks like he's on a club run.

    Bertie going.

    I think they were glad of the breather, most of them went out the back as soon as Sky got back to the front.

    Someone waving his real, live pug at the riders. Please tell me someone screenshot that. I wasn't quick enough.

    Some clown brought his pug to the Tour. At least he wasn't running around under the wheels.

    DD.

    Edit: You beat me to it!

    Contador going, good effort or an old man.

    Landa ought to attack soon, he's close enough that the others would have to work.

    Chapeau Bertie.
    A better effort than most thought he could manage.
