    Millar: Contador has only lost 1 minute to the yellow jersey group, he really is on fire ...

    ?? So losing time against other riders means you're on fire? Has Millar entered a parallel universe?

    Don't stay in that campsite, there's a better and cleaner on down in Briancon.

    We re going to pass where I did my first winter & Summer season in a sec.

    Plus where I first saw the TdF in the flesh and began to think cycling might be rather fun...

    Ah the rest of us had bikes when we were kids and pedalled about making motorbike noises.

    Good win.

    Shame Yates lost time, shame about Kidl.

    Nice seeing Contador fail to get anything from his efforts.

    Uran pipped Froome on the seconds sweep up.

    Feel a bit sorry for Aru - he's tried - just lost out on the gaps ...

    One podium candidate loses 31 seconds after all that.

    Most aggressive rider again. Worth something at least for his efforts.

    froome better attack uran tomos because he can time trial like a god. We might end up with a down to the wire finish :)

    Chapeau. How strong is Primoz?

    That could have been the last realistic chance for Contador to win a stage in the Tour.
