Contador losing some 50 seconds to Froome and Quintana is fantastic news for neutral cycling fans. Would have been even better if he had lost 1:30 to Froome and 2 minutes to Quintana.

Just managed to catch up by watching the TTT highlights. Sky were very slick as we would expect. The small detail for me was closing in on the finish, Froome beckoned to the 5th rider to sit in behind him and dragged him forward to rejoin 1, 2 and 3. Once rejoined and finish in sight, he gave the elbow for 5 to sprint passed him so he could be 5 and caught the others on the line. Very cool and composed considering they must have been utterly shagged....

Then Miller described the red jersey on PK and said something like "nice/good guys do win sometimes" and that seemed an endorsement to me. Isn't PK simply from 'oop North' and that explains some hard hitting or the odd clumsy comment??? (Sorry mods but this is in context to the cycling and highlights prog :) )
