    What's the feeling of how much time Tony needs going onto the final 1st cat climb? I reckon 2 minutes might be enough. Depends on what happens behind I guess.

    The unknown factor is the climb.
    Supposed to be a bit of a stinker.

    Froome not looking great there, struggling to hold a wheel as Rowe tows them back.

    LANDA IS IN THE FIRST GROUP!

    Danger averted for now but Froome not looking great and having a go at Nieve.

    Expect Bardet to have a crack on the climb. Froome looks in trouble.

    He's looking in trouble here, mechanical. Now you don't wait, AG2R were already pushing.

    Puncture may explain why he was already having issues.

    Bike change with Mikel Landa. Sergio Henao only team mate with him .

    On a team mates bike and relying on Henao to close the gap. Kiri also there but will take a huge effort from him. 45 seconds down already.

    Probably just correlation, but for the sake of those of use who saw a race break out can you try again?

    Oh all right - AG2R drilled it, Froome couldn't hold the wheel of the rider in front. Then had argument with Nieve about where Nieve should be riding. Finally had puncture as he chased back on himself.

    AG2R are making this interesting with some explosive tactics, fair play to them

    Now stuck in traffic at the base of the climb. We have a race! All the other favourites including Landa in the front of the split.
