This is pretty dull. Why have AG2R and Astana not done anything to mess with Sky's train earlier in the day?

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 :(

He will have 4 minutes, this one is for Berto.

UAD setting a weak pace:
1. Benefits Contador (the man they're trying to catch)
2. Benefits Sky
3. Negatively affects Aru (their leader next year)

Great job guys

AG2R could of tried something but not Astana, they simply don't have the team to cause any trouble to Sky

Fuglsang really is badly missed today. Sitting 4th or 5th on gc he would've desperately attacked 5 times while Froome always would've been forced to react just for Aru to move away in the end.
