Re:

How much longer until the GC group hits the base of the final climb?

About 30km, 40-45 minutes maybe?
edit: less, I miscalculated.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Demare shows as 26min down. Still 2 climbs to go.

Don't think that they won't.

 

[Lequack]

I guess the strategy is again to let Sky beat everyone.

 

[Pezrider]

Can anyone stick with and beat Yates?

So, Demare managed to climb Mente 5ish minutes slower than the peloton/front group, even though he regularly gets dropped on any false flat so far in this Tour. Can someone just stop this guy and throw him out please?

 

[Red Rick]

Enter Vomistar

 

[bajbar]

And sure enough, Movistar to the front.

Sure, but Demare regularly gets dropped on any bridge or speed bump in this Tour, there is no way that he can only lose 5 minutes to the peloton.

 

[ontheroad]

This is a complete non event of a stage for the GC.

Menté is a 20 min effort. Losing 5 mins on a peloton going at snails pace is huge time loss

Weird, because CN is saying he's a half hour back?!

They have 2 men in the break. If they are pulling in the peloton is to defend Quintana's top 10.
