    Contador is ahead of Froome isn't he, despite what Kirby says.

    In fairness, Kelly was caught out too and he's usually spot on

    Hmm. Lot of bodyguards still with Froome - might mean he's feeling vulnerable today. That or he's happy to let Bertie take a parting victory.

    He's not worried about Contador, they're just keeping the pace up to make it difficult

    For the record, anyone watching a stream in Danish from Eurosport and not understanding it, you'd get far better commentary you didn't understand on Danish TV2 Sport.

    Froome's looking slightly vulnerable here, for me
