    I'm pleased for Quintana. I just wished he could have done the same in the Alps as well and made a race of it.

    I made that about 48s in Froome

    Someone needs to tell Quintana it's no use being better in the 3rd week if you keep losing 4 or 5 minutes in the first two...

    If I were a cynical Wiggins fan, I'd take great delight in Egan looking back at Froome in the last few metres of a climb...

    Sky had better hope Thomas doesn't have his bad day on Friday
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Unfortunately the fact he was just allowed to ride away speaks volumes of his challenge and the Movistar tactics this year.

    Given Wiggin's recent social media posts I expect he's got the gif up on insta already...

    Also expect RR to pop up shortly!

    He's got promise, though. Give him a couple of years and he could be right up there.

    I'm sure someone will find a reason why it's proof of nefarious business.

    If Kruijswijk had engaged his brain on the Alp d'Huez stage he would be much better placed now.

    Add in the Salbutamol bo11ocks, and it's no wonder Froome's flagging.

    Plus Michelle's about to have a baby. He'd be forgiven for having his head elsewhere.
