    How on earth can you tell?

    How could you tell he was ill (which you were rather certain about)?

    40kms covered in the last 70 minutes by the breakaway, which means the bunch will have ridden at less than 30kph for the last 80 minutes.
    "Sick" Froome should appreciate that. :P

    Peloton is full of Sky friends, which is why they are riding easy... :wink:

    Friebe confirmed as much on twatter and he was conducting the interview.

    Aru getting some motopace training in there. Clearly Moto riders mistook him for Contador

    Aru has a minute on Froome group. A few teams won't like that.

    Too many drone type camera shots.
    Can't make out who is going up the road.

    Froome has 3 men left at 26km.

    Berti goes, Sky willing to up the pace, they dont want to get caught out.

    Get the camera bikes out of the way.

    If Froome is ill he is doing a good job of faking it, so far
