Who is that American that keeps talking loudly in between. Phil and Paul also keep going in the background lol.

Porte trying to solo his way back to the Froome group. So the other Skyborgs have blown up. Looks pretty tough for him to make it back though.

Jesus, as a team Moviestar completely destroys Sky today. Moviestar 6 guys in front. Froome alone and now Porte alone. Brailsford must have a headache.

It's useless, he got dropped by Gesink who did return in the front group.
Gesink is not even at a level to follow the best 30 so Porte is horrible today

Bob Roll, he seems to know less that Phil and Paul, unless it's their guy on the motorbike that chats with the team cars.

Seems like everyone has given up. They know that Froome is isolated and that they can easily put 1-2 minutes on him today.

They also know that Froome can take back 5 minutes on Alpe d'Huez alone.

Today should get some folks some rest from complaining about boring tours. Saxo and Movi have put some hurt today on the rest of Sky, and taken a little more out of the legs of Froomey-boy. We still have 2 weeks to go, and it looks to me like the other contenders are not burning all their matches early. But maybe Sky did.

Imo, given that today's performance is exactly what I would expect in a human-powered GT - you burn it up yesterday, not so much left in the legs today - I think Froome's attack yesterday accomplished exactly the opposite of what he wanted. Imo, Froome has made his yellow LESS secure, and not more so. Too much, too soon.

Attacks all day today, and early. Man oh man, and Saxo and Movi know Froome is weaker today.

jup ' it will certainly inspire the motivation for the rest of the GC to realize that the sky-team is talkable.

Movistar seem afraid to commit their riders, they have 6 boys there, unless they're saving them for something spectacular.

This is encouraging for Porte, seems to have found his legs. Hopefully he gets close, will force the others to move.

Yeah, they have to keep Froome by himself. But, even if Porte gets back he won't be the same as yesterday.
