Kwiatkowski gonna do all of the Telegraphe + first bit of the Galibier, he's not gonna bring that gap down by minutes I think
No but Contador will probably need clearly over 3 minutes on the foot of the Galibier if he wants to win the stage, considering the pace from the gc contenders will be very high on the galibier and that there is a false flat descent afterwards.
Hmm... in that case it's not looking good
FFS, now I wish the finish was on Galibier :(
Then again if that was the case the whole race until now would have been differently and Contador wouldn't have almost 4 minutes advantage.

at 3:45 it's not looking bad, as I don't think Sky is racing for stage victory .... let's see who stays with Contador on top of Galibier ...

I hope Aru and Bardet go crazy...Froome looks tired.
Are people seriously still judging his shape by how he looks on the bike. When has Froome ever not looked tired.

he's tired of non-attacking GC-contenders .... (wouldn't count AC a GC contender anymore)

Usually in the Tour he looks better than this. It's in the Vuelta where he looks tired and terrible and then goes on to surprise everyone.

You would of thought by now that people would know Froome always looks like this, he's won 3 Tours looking terrible and tired on the bike.
