If Kwaitkowski can make the bridge what do Sky do?

Give Landa a launch up the lower slopes of Peguere?

Then he can sit up and maybe offer a couple of km to Froome.

What are Aru and Bardet doing? They should be attacking Froome...

Too early. They'll make their move in the final 3km of the final climb and not before.

Until then they'll ride tempo and hope Froome is dropped.

Masterpiece from Sky, Landa to work with Contador who's 7mins down and move into virtual Yellow. Kwiat marks Quintana, and Froome marks Aru/Bardet/Uran who have just about no teammates left, can attack and bridge if he's feeling good or hand leadership to Landa if not feeling well.
It's a masterclass if the gap extends over two and a half minutes at the bottom of the Mur, and if Froome Sant dropped by the inevitable Aru/Bardet attack. If it's less than two minutes at the bottom of the Mur, then I'd give Aru and Bardet a good chance of taking a minute back on the gal if they start attacking. Then if Froome is dropped by them, that begins to be a real issue for sky.

at some point, either Aru or Bardet should test Froome, because He seems not good-perhaps due to the short stage-hard pace start.....
