    Dumoulin looked on the ragged edge at the end. He'll appreciate the descent.

    I see the European Health and Safety commision haven't been up here. :shock:

    I would descend that road at around 8km/hr

    Pinot losing his back wheel going over the top. Just what you need just before this descent

    The stage that comes to mind is that 2011 Tour stage up to the Galibier & Schleck.

    my favourite ever GT stage - the most excited I've been watching a bike race. that was only from 60km out mind :o

    Get Kirby off quick. He's losing it completely.

    Anyone else noticed how the crowd get thinner as you get closer to the top. Not less of them, just thinner.

    Why did they put Kirby on for the descent... What a cretin. He's just yelling about the bikes over and over.

    What stage was it when Froome attacked on the descent and caught lots of favourites out?

    Graphic stating Alex Dowsett was 9th over the top of the FInestre. Somehow I don't think that's quite right

    Oh is that what it was. I was thinking 'why does that man have a thing that looks like one of those km climb markers and why is it in blue, they're normally white?'

    Dumoulin has put in a massive effort to lead that group up and cling onto Froome's coat tails.

    He’ll be sticking to numbers

    Froome also not stupid - assuming what everyone said about constantly staring at his PM was correct, he must also be riding to numbers.
