    As a neutral, I think I would rather Froome won with a stunning attack than it defaulted to Pozzovivo or Dumoulin.

    Agree with BB, but also happy to see Pozzo win it, although would like to see an attack from him again as well. He's ridden very well.

    Henao pops, or something.

    Having Sky do this is actually perfect for Dumoulin.

    Froome still not on the podium yet though? Otherwise would Sky switch off the pace, have a rest and force Sunweb to do some work?

    Did I read that they all raced through the feed zone earlier? Who drove it? Was that where Yates lost it if he missed his mid morning biscuit?

    TD looks pretty controlled.

    No, not yet, Yates needs to lose 3'22" for Froome to get on the podium

    Welcome to the fold.

    I quite like Tom as a guy but I fear if he starts being the top dog we'll end up with Indurain type racing. It's is quite dull.

    Sky risk burning out too early while just serving TD

    MS did it in order to catch the break, from what I gather.

    King Kenny drilling it. Chance there'll be no domestiques left with 70k to go?

    This is mental. Is Froome really going to 80km solo?
