Evans will attack with about 3km to go I think - and try to make back 30s to 1min - assuming Froome has been dropped by then, otherwise, he might only try to attack in the last 1km

Dunno what to make of Evans, but I think he must be on the rivet, surely?
Stepping stones all nicely placed and, so far, nothing.

Evans is suffering like dog I think.

He is hunched over and perpendicular to the top bar on his bike

TJVG was dropped by a 50-man peloton yesterday, but is riding with the best climbers today. Very inconsistent...

He is only 23 - he is going to get much better in a few years time :) (Already pretty good)

Agreed. He's got TJ there to help him. He took a dig on a prior climb and couldn't even keep up with his domestique. Now he's got the same chance again. The opportunities aren't going to get any better than this.
