    The 10s for the stage win could be very important here.

    As Millar pointed out, a) it would be a stupid time to attack and b) they were probably glad of the breather

    And Aru went off the road too, so it wasn't just Sky / Froome.

    Aru went off too and most of those left were at breaking point. Millar said anyone suggesting they should attack at that point doesn't understand bike racing.

    Bennett first to go, Landa closes easily.

    Bardet, Rigo, Aru. Froome loses 20 odd seconds in a couple of hundred metres after all that hard work by his team.

    Aru takes yellow then?

    Bet they are wishing they tested Froome earlier now. Not saying they weren't all on the limit but could have damaged him.

    The French Exchange takes it as Froome loses yellow.

    Looking forward to the Bardet song. Damn that was an evil finsh.
