Good rides by Taaramae and Cobo but it looks as though Sky has the race won. Mollema and Menchov don't seem to have the legs to attack Wiggins and Froome. Nibali has been up and down since the race started and Rodriguez is a day to day proposition. Rodriguez is a great rider but he will never win a grand tour. He would be better off aiming for the KOM and stage wins. Fuglsang and Kessiakoff can no longer win. Cobo and Nibali will probably try something tomorrow but I don't think they will crack the Sky riders.
Considering the severity of his injuries in the TDF, VDB has done well. Neither Wiggins or Froome have looked like they were in big trouble on the climbs and I would be surprised if that changed now. If Froome is not a super-domestique, I don't know who is.
