QUINTANA IS AT LANDA'S WHEEL... NOBODY REACTS BEHIND THEM. TALANSKY ASSUMES THE RESPONSABILITY.

LANDA AND QUINTANA ARE AT 23'50" and 7'19" respectively.

This is the race situation:
Porte and Rujano are reaching the summit of the climb, Fabio Aru has arrived at their level... behind the three men group Nairo Quintana and Mikel Landa and then the yellow jersey pack composed by:

Andrew Talansky, Joseph Dombrowski, Thibaut Pinot, Johan Chaves, Tejay Van Garderen, Pierre Rolland, Vincenzo Nibali and Robert Kiserlovski.

PORTE, RUJANO AND ARU ARE BEGINNING THE DESCENT RIGHT NOW.

QUINTANA AND LANDA HAVE A GOOD DISTANCE WITH THE FAVOURITES GROUP.... WHERE TALANSKY HAS ALL THE RESPONSABILITY.

This is a very dangerous situation for the Yellow Jersey, nobody collaborate with him... and the head group is increasing the advantage.

TALANSKY is wasting too much energy... this is a complicated situation for him. Pinot, Dombrowski and Van Garderen are putting the american all the pressure.


QUINTANA AND LANDA CROSSES THE TOP... let's see if they can contact with Porte's group.

Talansky commanding the favourites group... they pass the mountain line.

These are the differences:

HEAD GROUP / CHASING DUO (+18") / YELLOW JERSEY GROUP (+1'25")

¡The front group is now about to begin the Col du Telegraphe!

This is the key zone of the stage, Telegraphe + Galibier.

Maybe the rider who pass first Galibier will be the strongest in the rest of the race.

Who has done better over the last few years Pinot or Quintana?

The colombian won Giro / Vuelta last year being the first since Pantani.
Pinot was second in the past TDF after a great battle versus Contador.

Very equal.
