Froome is a low gear high cadence climber. That works on most climbs at the tour but not the short punchy ones where you need a bigger gear.

Why the heck did they not attack earlier?!
Sky set a pace that meant nobody was dropped but nobody could attack without being brought back. Good defensive tactics from them.

I sometimes do this on PCM when my leader is having a -5 day. And sky cycling is effectively a video game.
 
Such cowardly racing. An in-form Contador would've exposed Froome today. Hopefully the others have learned not to ride the Sky train to the final meters now.

Glad Bardet got the win, though.
