So many opportunities to put Froome under pressure on this descent. Come on :(
Meh....

Well, at least to split the peloton and make this stage watchable for us cycling fans.
Yeah, I agree with you, I meant it's pretty meh they're just letting Sky descend at their own pace.

There's another descent coming - a harder one

Not over yet ;)

Tinkoff will not attack on the descent with Sagan in the break, i think.

And Movistar is cautious the whole Tour. Nibs maybe?

I'm afraid that if Contador attacks and bridges Movistar will also help Sky, which kind of makes it a mission impossible.

Katusha should be careful.Rogers might go for it on the descent and good luck bring him back :)

Don't think Movistar will. Quintana is going for the win, and the last thing he wants to do is release pressure from Sky if one of Froome's rivals attacks

This is turning into a reasonably interesting stage. Surely Pinot, Yates, Hesjedal and Kwiatkoski will look to go really hard on the climb to try to shed Sagan; at least one of them should be able to get away.

Tinkoff won't attack Sky today, that would be suicide.

You can call me stupid if you want, but I still don't think the break will make it, strong as it looks.
