Hugo, why would bmc and astana ride?
Why wouldn't they ride?

Why would they? there's no point for them, contador and quintana are way ahead of them and wasting energy for no reason is utter stupidity, no?

Froome should wait on the other 4 Sky riders. Better chasing with a whole team at + 2 minutes then with 2 teammates the whole day.

It might be, but they'll help chasing anyway. Also, Contador is only 30 seconds ahead of Sanchez in GC.

The likelihood of Contador winning is extremely thin; but he has just immensely increased his possiblity of a podium or atleast looking to get himself back in contention for the top step

Quintana and Contador worst case in my opinion would want to get to at least 30km to go with teammats before pushing on in a hypothetical world. Its too far sadly

Wait what the hell happened here? How did the gap even open up?

Awesome action. Movistar might have too few people out front.
