Funny to see how many posters in here raging over the non-participation of Lopez and Carapaz in the chase group, considering how many demanded non-cooperation when fx Froome was chasing Contador.

This is brilliant bike race, weather your sympathies lies with Froome or another rider.

Not so much when your sympathies lies with Yates and Pozzovivo...

Subjectively yes, objectively no...

I wonder if Dumoulin is wishing he'd have done a bit more to put Froome out of contention when the chances were there, in the first week.

He obviously couldnt believe someone would be able to improve this much after two crashes and not being in top shape at all.

Me neither.

All of this just leaves a sour taste.

Pinot is done dealing with the two clowns and he has Reichenbach, best solution.

Froome to gain time on the climb, after being completely on his own for 60+ km so far? Unbelievable normally, but today I believe it.

Dissent in the Pozzo group. They're falling back further by the minute.

Yeah it's weird, what could they be arguing about ? Pozzo is completely spent that's for sure.

I have Yates at 28:1 and I'm still enyoing it. IMHO, the best stage since Formigal. Let's see what the last climb holds in store.

Pointless discussion. Nobody expects Froome to pull a staight up Saunier Duval performance after not dropping anyone outside of super steep climbs since 2015.

I supposed it's brilliant bike racing, just not brilliant to watch...
