    I suspect this is the type of ride he was rehearsing for when he was carrying out all those super long rides in January.

    Boom. Big ring and out the saddle to begin the descent. LOVING this.

    I was working and when I got in and switched on l'equipe I initially thought there must be a mistake when they showed the virtual standing. Is Yates ill or something? Can this all be put down to fatigue? Money has to be on Froome now.

    does that include bonus seconds for winning the stage and what he picked up in the sprint?

    I think this is just the gap on the road, they won't count those until the finish.

    If he pulls this off it will eclipse Schleck's effort in 2011

    I was going for a spin this afternoon but I'm now glued to the screen, thinking I'll have to eat my hat for writing Froome off a few days ago.
