    I don't think this really hurts Froome, not having the jersey.

    Was Froome booed at the finish line?


    Lots of Basque fans there - wanted Landa to go for it perhaps

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of that when I hear his name :lol:

    Froome will still win this. Sky are too strong on 'normal' climbs, and Froome will do better on the longer drags at riding down attacks.


    He's had little problem doing that before

    I'm telling ya, he's not at the top of his game

    Agreed, but it'll be easier for him to wind people in on 7-8% and with 3-4kms to do it in.

    If he got in the break or went for a long one tomorrow it would cause panic. Who is there to chase for Aru?

    On Eurosport - footage of lots of shrugs and handwaving from Landa at the warm down when talking to Portal and Nieve...

    Don't think Landa towing him would have made much difference.

    Given Astana's relative weakness, I wonder if this stage has just taken on a greater significance?

    Bennet went to get a gel in the last few km didn't he?

    Does that mean Aru gets second for stage and the associated extra time bonus and more GC lead over Froome?

    Yes and finally a bit of action and the impression that maybe, only maybe it's not all already written before the start.

    Aru or Bardet, if they both attack Sky, one of them can be in yellow in Paris
