Valverde need to stop as soon as Froome is on the wheel. They need to keep attacking only him. They need to work together against him. If they start to ride for 2nd place its over
It's a pity for the Movistar and Saxo boys that tomorrow is a rest day, as if it was a multi-mountain stage tomorrow as well, even if they don't gain time on Froome today, they could have potentially ripped the race apart on the next stage.
I'm thinking this stage already entered the legend of the Tour de France. A stage that will be remembered for years and decades. Even more than the Froome's exploit at Ax 3 Domaines.
