    Quintana should dig deep here otherwise the gain on Froome could be minor.

    Edit - looks like someone told him :D

    Quintana is on his own chasing Gesink for the stage win. 3km to go and the steepest section still to come.

    Think Valverde and Froome might catch Contador.

    I think he's 58s behind after that stage. Once you count the bonuses.

    Contador rolled the dice a bit there and ended up losing. Lost time to Chavez even.

    Aaahhh missed the finish! Just been up Swiss Hill, Cat & Fiddle and Mam Tor in the sun though so can't be too upset...

    Sounds like one for the highlights for sure!

    Froome definitely has a thing for getting dropped then riding back on - clearly wants to entertain the fans...
