    I saw some Team UAE riders out training on the climb to Montgenevre yesterday with a support car.

    Am I the only one hoping Quintana doesn’t win this stage?
    No.

    Although he seems to have taken on 6 bottles in the last 2 mins, so maybe he's going for the novelty award (what's the record14 bisons?).

    Is Froome struggling? Usually means he’s about to attack I suppose.

    Froome looking a little ragged, in the hope it will provoke an attack he can follow

    Majka dropped now, Quintana looks like having this unless it kicks off behind.

    That's why Bardet hasn't attacked.

    I think Froome's trying to lure others to attack so he can beat Thomas

    Bardet gone. He’s left it a bit late for the French tactic of shipping time and going for the KoM.
