The break are being given no free rein at all today. Quite strange really or there's a bit of mind games going on.

"Wanty-Groupe Gobert ‏@wantygobert 1m

Can't give a guy like Voeckler too much time, who knows what type of form the man has.

Long solo mountain raid like in '12?

Yeah, suppose so, Belkov also and Marczynski to a lesser extent.

The Sky train is really falling apart, Froome only has Nieve and Lopez to help him now.

 

[Grupetto1]

Eurosport talking about rain capes and Josh Edmondson is sitting on the front in short sleeves and gloveless. What a guy.

Unfortunately for us non-froome fans it doesn't matter. He can respond to sudden attacks comfortably. Wiggan's relied on the train, Froome doesn't really need it.

They work on marginal gains

is there a stream?
