    Both Froome & the Jumbo dom took 2 bottles from the car.
    Is that usual?

    not unusual taking one for other team mates

    But with just over 10 kms to go? Who would Froome's second bottle be for, or is Froome planning to get back to Carapaz?!!!

    Might only be 10kms but you are still looking at 30mins+.
    Plus, that is probably the cutoff.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    This is the "easy" part. Wait till after the flat section!

    Roglic only has 4 Jumbos left.
    Crazy strong team.

    Kelly says it’s “amazing”.

    How are they so strong? No more than 2 riders from any other team left in there. Ketones?

    How have Ineos struggled? No domestiques left again.

    Carapaz has drifted to the back. Is he done or are we about to see an attack?

    Crazy strong team.

    I'm not sure it provides any real help other the psychological on this climb though.
  • Isn't Jonas Vingegaard the young rider who won a stage in Poland last year, then blew up on the big climbing stage?

    He seems to have improved somewhat.

    Carapaz last rider in the group now. Wout off the back
  • Gesink aside, I wouldn't want to play poker with any of these Jumbo riders.

    Could be day for Martin or Woods, though Martin always looks horrible on the bike.

    They’re like robots. Just relentless.

    Carapaz not filling me with confidence.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Roglic would just check all the time and then make a small raise right at the end

    Mas first to go. I'm wondering if Carapaz is just staying out of sight to keep JV guessing.
