They might not put time into Froome today but today is the day when the other teams can get rid of Porte. If the big guns attack early then Porte might have to hit the front much earlier than planned.

Who knows, perhaps he'll even get dropped eventually if he has to do 50 km or more on the front.
Seems like this prediction might be nail on. 133 km to go and Porte has already had to hit the front! Surely if they keep going like this he'll get dropped eventually.

Yep. Thank you Garmin. This could be an epic stage.
