    Poor old Yates! Having been in Pink for so long makes it even worse - like they were letting him hold it until the time came to school him

    Everyone else is more or less soloing too

    Aye but that A32 valley!

    Is horrible. False flat and steep little ramps.

    Jesus! Did you see that shot where Froome took a bottle? The gradient on the next switchback! :o

    Look at that gap back to Yates. He’s losing a second every 2-3 seconds.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Pinot panics early and he already has time on Pozzo. :oops:

    If I was TD’s DS I’d be saying keep him within a minute but let him hang out.

    I’d then start writing some cheques ;)

    Pinot will help; Pozzovivo is off the back too!

    I think Froome's attack was to break Pozzo.

    This is mental. Amazing.

    I assume Froome was attacking to drop as many people as possible, and hope they can't all regroup after the climb? Froome can't be expecting to solo all the way to the finish surely.
