Yep, but Quintana hasn't done too much either. On such a short stage, both should still have enough in the tank until the finish.GuyIncognito said:Red Rick said:Who has done more work this stage, Quintana or Froome?
Quintana. Froome has done zero. The other teams have pulled him along the whole time.
Unless you count going on Valverde's wheel during that early attack on a short climb

Froome had to close gaps in the very beginning. That's why he was not there to respond when Berto attacked. I agree that Quintana should be more spent, overallGuyIncognito said:Red Rick said:Who has done more work this stage, Quintana or Froome?

What team does he ride for? That's your answer.Hugo Koblet said:I don't really get why someone like Felline works here. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Yeah, fair point. And that probably takes more out of Quintana than it would out of most riders. It's going to be great to see if Froome can do anything about this on the last climb - he'll probably have to go solo pretty early.GuyIncognito said:DFA123 said:Yep, but Quintana hasn't done too much either.

But Quintana's taken a few pulls up front. might not make a big difference, or it might. We'll know later
